    Smoking multiple meats

    I agree that it is a matter of personal taste.  I normally put my pork below because of the basting liquids I use.  I use a beer base for brisket and vinegar based for pork. I can handle the beer on the vinegar but not the vinegar on my beer..... Jim K.

    sugar free rubs and glazes

    I'm diabetic myself, so I can speak some what informed on this subject.  When a receipt calls for brown sugar I use splenda brown sugar.  If it calls for regular sugar I use splenda (You can use what ever type you like). If a receipt calls for honey I use an imitation honey. I also take splenda...

    MES 40

    Thanks for everyone's input.  I checked my local Sam's and the only units they have are the older (pre-2012) units.  I'm going to check the Bass Pro here in Southern Indiana. Jim K.

    MES 40

    Chef Jimmy, Thanks for the reply.  To me the smoke ring is just for looks - you're right about not really affecting the flavor.  I am a little surprised that with using the AMNPS that you still do not get a ring.  I do have another question for you:  I have read a few different threads here...

    MES 40

    Thanks Guys.  I've been smoking for years, but always on a unit with a side firebox using either lump or wood.  I love the favor and nice thick bark you get but have decided I really do not want to keep trending the smoker so much since most of my smokers are for 8+ hours (or even over-night)...

    MES 40

    I'm thinking about buying my first electric smoker - the MES40.  I have a few questions. 1. How well does it work with meats like Pulled Pork and Brisket? 2. How well does it do "Burnt Ends?" 3. Do you need to get a ANMPS to truely smoke food or just to cold smoke? Thanks for your input.

    Wrapping pork

    I never wrap.  Just how I do it, but I think it makes the bark soft.  Once I pull my pork I either cover it and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes or wrap in towels and place in a cooler for a few hours if needed.

    To inject or not to inject...

    I am not a fan of injecting anything other than a ham or maybe a turkey if I'm deep frying it.  With pork, chicken and turkey (smoked) I prefer to brine. With beef (or any type of ribs) I prefer to use a dry rub.  When you brine a meat you are adding moisture and favor (Based on what you put in...

    New to the Forum

    Hello all, While I am new to this forum, I'm not new to smoking.  I started about 20 years ago with an ECB.  I now use a BSKD which I'm starting to modify.  I was searching for mods here, but have not found many.  Any one using this smoker who has done some mods (Pictures help)?
