    Tender Quick or Smoke Flavored Sugar Cure questions

    Hey everyone! Its been a few years since I've been on here. The now ex wife was always on my @ss about taking pics of food and wasting time on this website. The good news is I don't have to deal with that anymore and I plan to be on here much more often. So I used to make lots of belly bacon...

    Sliced Pork Shoulder/Butt Tenderness Question

    I've been smoking killer pulled pork for years but I recently decided to start doing some sliced. Two weeks ago I did one in my MES and it was amazing. I meant to take it off at an IT of 145 but I got sidetracked and it hit an IT of 152 before I got it out. After a short rest I sliced it for...

    How many pork butts can I get in an MES 40???

    Hey everybody, I've been happily using my MES 30 for a few years now for most of my pork butt/shoulder smokes and my only complaint is that I cant do too many at a time. I have an event coming up that will require 8-10 shoulders to be smoked up. Can any of you MES 40 owners tell me how many...

    Beef Ball Tip on the MES with a Pork Loin on the ECB, Heavy Q-View

    So I started off with a beef ball tip roast. I rubbed it with L&P thick wooshy and Pappy's Choice Seasoning. I get these in 17-22 lb bags at Cash n Carry for $2.58 lb which is cheaper than tri-tip and just as good(if not better). Each bag contains 4-5 roasts. Threw in a ziplock and into the...

    AMNPS smoked cheese, 15 lbs, first cold smoke on ECB with Q-view

    I have smoked lots of cheese in my MES 30 but until now I hadn't cold smoked on the ECB. When I use the AMNPS I like to light both ends to get a nice heavy smoke. The problem with that is the MES holds heat so well that I'm constantly trying to monitor temps and make sure I have plenty of ice to...

    Pulled pork on the MES and whole chickens on the ECB with Q-view

    I haven't had time to post in a while but this is a smoke I did this weekend. I started out with four bone-in pork shoulders totalling just over 32 lbs. Measured out my ingredients for the rub and run each batch through a food processor to blend and get the lumps out. Then I rubbed each with...

    First post in months, 2 butts with Q-View

    It's been so long that I had to look around to figure out how to post a thread. I think I've got it now. Started out with a 2 pack of shoulder/butts weighing just under 16 lbs. Trimmed some of the fat off but not too much. Coated each with mustard prior to adding the rub. Not sure if it...

    Another batch of BBB with Q-View

    Started with a 2 pack of butts. Butterflied and got the bone out. Cured for 10 days using Morton's Sugar Cure. Soaked and rinsed then placed in pan. Placed pan under fan for a while to work on pellicle. While pellicle was forming I rubbed each piece with a very light coat of maple syrup...

    Burn out ?????s for the UDS pros

    I picked up a drum that was used for olive oil and I want/need to do a burn out(I think?) It is already cut in half and I plan to use it for a vertical rotisserie build. Do I just fill it with wood and let it burn for several hours? Then just scrub it out? I won't actually cook in it but...

    Attention great minds of SMF!!! I need advice on a build!!!! with Q-View

    Since my early 20's I loved to cross the San Diego border into Mexico or take the cruise ships to ensenada for authentic tacos al pastor. Due to the increase in violence and craziness there now, I no longer go for taco runs. This is causing serious withdrawals. I was wondering if you guys could...

    Pecan Smoked Turkey, Thank you AMNPS for the beautiful color!!!! Q-View

    I know turkey is no big woop but I had to show off the color of this bird. Got a turkey half breast and removed the skin and cut it off the bone. IMO it makes for better slicing since I can cut across the grain. Injected with a mix of lawry's and EVOO then rubbed the outside with the same...

    Pecan/Apple Smoked Belly Bacon with Q-View

    I'm normally a BBB guy because the only bellies I ever find are frozen, have the rind on and seem to come from anorexic pigs. While visiting the in-laws in the midwest I came across a store that sold bellies. They were just as anorexic as the California bellies but they were fresh, $1 cheaper...

    AMNPS+Pecan Pellets = What should I smoke? Your input is appreciated

    I just got my pecan pellets from Todd at A-MAZE-N products. The last time I smoked with pecan was with wood chips before I had an AMNPS. I remember pecan being somewhat mellow and loving the smell, but I don't remember what meat(beef, chicken, fish, bacon, cheese) it gave the best flavor to. I...

    My first home made mozzarella. Inspired by SmokinAl and Da Mrs with Q-View

    After reading Da Mrs and SmokinAl's mozzarella threads, I just couldn't get the thought out of my mind. I used whole milk from the local grocery store and purchased the rennet tabs and the citric acid at a local store that models itself after the "whole foods" chain. I have also seen rennet at...

My wife is Mexican and her family uses Mexican cheeses with many dishes, grilling, breakfast, you name it it goes in everything and it's delicious. I decided to...
