    Pulled Pork - Where did I go wrong?

    I've been delaying getting my AMNPS. I don't mind feeding the chips, and it allows me to mix woods (like apple and hickory when smoking chicken). I've also been able to schedule start/end times so I can smoke while I'm awake. Until this Saturday night that is. Need to have the brisket out 10 -...

    Pulled Pork - Where did I go wrong?

    Welcome to the forum! As several people mentioned, smoking chicken can result in rubbery skin due to lack of heat. I have the MES-30 (which looks a lot like your smoker) which goes to 275. I smoke my chicken a couple of hours @ 225 (and may try 250 next time) with a combination of apple and...

    Official 1st Annual North Carolina Gathering April 27th - 29th (Now with More Pictures)

    Jason and I had a blast @ the gathering. Thank you to Cricket for letting Scott host the gathering. I learned a lot talking with the other forum members and watching Joel smoke the butts, brisket, corned beef, mac & cheese, and baked beans. I am truly amazed at how much better beer tastes...

    Official 1st Annual North Carolina Gathering April 27th - 29th (Now with More Pictures)

    If they land the chopper upside down, they could make it a big field again. When I lived near Pilot Mountain, my bush hogging philosophy was: If I can drive the Kubota over it, the bush hog can eat it. Worked for 25 years.  See y'all Saturday. Don

    Official 1st Annual North Carolina Gathering April 27th - 29th (Now with More Pictures)

    My 4/28 weekend just opened up. :yahoo: Too late to join? Karol's giving me a "smoking pass" so I'd plan to arrive Saturday (as early as possible) and leave Sunday. I'm not sure an MES-30 is a portable smoker, but I guess I could bring it if needed. Happy to bring meat and/or a cooler fuller...

    An Edible Learning Experience - Minor Qview

    It was good, but dry. Jeff's Honey Glazed, Orange Smoked Chicken recipe (in today's newsletter) talked about brining - as did Chap 3 of the eCourse. I'm planning to plan ahead more next time I plan to do  chicken so I can brine prior to smoking. We'll see how it goes ...

    An Edible Learning Experience - Minor Qview

    Somehow I never manage to post my poultry smokes. Only 3 so far. I can't wait until I plan far enough ahead (12 hours) to try brining. But wrapping chicken in bacon, that makes a lot of sense and doesn't take long. A couple weeks ago I fixed this for my son, my future-daughter-in-law, and their...

    Second ribs and their Qview

    And there's wine left over for the left over ribs!  If I ever finish reading the "beginner's guide to brisket" I may try that next.

    Second ribs and their Qview

    I may get one of those, some day. Right now I'm grooving on adding chips. It makes me feel like I'm doing something  I decided to work through the 5 day ecourse. I purchased Jeff's rub and sauce recipes. I'm happy to support this site. The site's worth the cost. If I like the rub and sauce...

    Second ribs and their Qview

    and finally out come the ribs! Before cutting In a pile and ready to eat! The 2008 Klinker Brick Zinfandel matched the smoke nicely. We blended today's sauce with some sauce from the butt that had twice the red pepper. The red and black pepper in the sauce provided a front/mid palate...
