    first chicken

    Debi, I'm going to have to try injecting, don't have the needle and syringe. We liked the flavor of the brined chicken a lot. I think brining with be a regular for poultry now. Bill

    first chicken

    Scotty, I tried your brine. I brined for 8 hours, rinsed, patted it down and let it sit uncovered in the refrigerator for 3 more hours. I added some rub, pulled the water pan at 165 and glazed with honey. Here's the final product. My wife and I both enjoyed it.

    first chicken

    I am attempting my first whole chicken Sunday. I've got some general guidelines, but any recommendations for a brine. Some brining instructions would be helpful as well as it will be my first time for that. Thanks in advance, Bill

    brisket question

    hooked, I made the finishing sauce that's in the stickie under beef. It had a little bit different flavor on the meat than off. I think the acid in the sauce may have helped break down the meat a little too. My wife and I both like on pulled beef though.

    brisket question

    Well, the fun is all over, or just beginning, we have plenty of left for this week. Thanks again for all the tips. My wife and I loved everything I made today! I don't think it will be hard to convince either of us to do this again soon.

    Greetings everyone

    Welcome, and you came to the right place. I just bought a smoker too, and my first attempt last weekend was ok. I am had ribs for lunch today and am getting ready for pulled brisket for dinner. I must say the ribs were much better than last weekends attempt. My wife was thrilled at lunch...

    brisket question

    Well, the beef ribs came of at 1pm and 185 degrees. My wife raved about them all through lunch. We have enough for 1 more meal. The brisket is approaching 170, so soon time to wrap that. I hope it's as good as the ribs were. Here's a pic of the leftover ribs.

    Smoking meat for people

    BigAl I'd look at it this way, if you want to start making meats for others, give them a reasonable price of say $6 lb. It may get others asking, and you could let them know to pass the word around. If you are viewing this as more of a pain, jack it up to where it will be well worth your...

    new masterbuilt owner

    Illini, It sounds like you are the source for some of the great upgrades I got in the 07 masterbuilt. I read a lot of reviews before buying and the custom upgrades I saw you document on this site were the main compaints I saw about the unit in pre-07 form. It's good to see that they learn...

    new masterbuilt owner

    First hello, my name is Bill and I'm new to the smoking family and the site. I somehow missed this site, but read a lot of reviews on smokers and decided to go with the '07 model masterbuilt in black with the door latch and vent. I feel I've learned more on this site in a couple of hours than...

    Newbie needs advise

    I just bought the 07 model in black from my not so local Cabelas this weekend. I called ahead and after finding out they had 40 in stock I took the hour drive to pick one up. It is nice to see they incorporated some of the things I have seen people complain about in reveiws and posts.
