    Needing crispy skin

    I'm pretty new, and was wondering the same thing. I'll be doing some chicken this weekend too, and I have an MES40 with a top temp of 275. So I plan on having the grill hot when I bring the chicken out of the smoker, and crisping it up on the grill, and maybe then applying a glaze of some sort...

    Health Warning For Wire Brushing Your Grates

    There was a segment on one of the Hospital TV shows on this recently. After I saw that, I realized that I bit down on a wire from a brush a few months ago, that had broken loose and attached to my burger. I was lucky, but I canned the wire brush and went and bought a stone the next day.

    You got that right, Mike!  You should try to make it down for the Beach, Boogie, and BBQ competition this year. Great Q, beer, and great beach music...what a combination!

    What's your occupation?

    I'm an I/T guy by trade. Worked 24 years for Universal Entertainment's North American manufacturing division, making music CD's and DVD's, as the manager of Application Development. But then we were bought by Sony, and they closed our facility because they already had their own manufacturing. So...

    Prime Rib (Spinner Style)

    Yum, Yum, Yum!!  Looks delicious to me!  I sure wish I could find some specials like that around here!  I know you didn't smoke this one, but what is your wood of choice for Prime Rib?

    Help with meatloaf

    A nice coincidence....I was just thinking last night that I wonder if you can do a meat loaf in the smoker. I also have the MES 40, and am looking for some different ideas for smokes that I can do fairly easily in under the 8 hour time range, since my time is limited these days. So, this may...

    Super Bowl Brisket!

    Thanks for your advise and great pics...wish I had been there to chow on that tasty slab!  I'm still a newbie, and have been too intimidated to try a brisket so far, but seeing your pics makes me want to give it a try!

    Need Boston Butt Injection

    I'm a true newbie to smoking, so you can take my opinion for what it's worth. But when I did my butts at Christmas, I used the Chris Lilly rub, and his injection recipes. I injected just before putting in the smoker. I smoked it a little hotter than I wanted to, in order to satisfy my time...

    Competition Smoking on a propane smoker?? Is it done??

    I don't do competitions, so I don't have a dog in this fight, but I've wondered this myself. I guess what confuses me is that if you ask any pro, they will almost universally say you can't get a quality smoke from an electric smoker. So my question is, if that is indeed the case, then wouldn't...

    What would Elvis smoke?

    I also think 'The King' would throw on some nice Pork Butts for himself and the rest of the 'Memphis Mafia'. Maybe have some baked beans and 'tater' salad for sides.

    What was your very first smoker?

    Like a lot of you, my first smoker was a Brinkmann Gourmet Smoker - charcoal. Used it for a few smokes years ago, but because the temp was so hard to control, I gave up on smoking and just used it for grilling. Just now getting back to smoking but use my MES 40.

    LABOR DAY...WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING, GRILLING STEWING, FRING? LET'S HEAR YOU PLANS AND SEE SOME QVIEWS

    I plan on going to the Beach, Boogie,and BBQ event here in Myrtle Beach that weekend, but will definitely put something on the smoker. My wife is after me to do a Turkey, but my boys want ribs. So it will most likely be one of those, or maybe both!!

    Broken Masterbuilt 40" smoker

    I have a MES too, so I'm interested in hearing how this turns out. Hey Tommy P, what was the other electric smoker you bought?  Interested in hearing about it also if you wouldn't mind sharing with us.
