    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    So I was at the store and found a Jack Daniels Apple Cider and because of how my mind works, I immediately thought about pulled pork. It's a mixture of Jack and apple cider... already mixed? I don't normally use Jack as a spray but I have used it as a sauce before. Any ideas?

    Thanksgiving practice

    Using the MES, the highest you can get the temp to is 275. (Unless it's different than my MES 40) So to get the crispy skin you will have to throw it in an oven. I have smoked two turkeys, one of which went into work, and the guys are still asking me when I am bringing another one in!

    Smoker Cleaning Question

    I think I stole this idea from you, and I have to say it works perfectly. I had tried everything I could think of to clean the window, and this was the best technique I was able to find. Just make sure you have heavy duty gloves to handle the heat!

    Military Smokers?

    This is an awesome thread! I was in the Navy from 1996 - 2007. I served as a Nuke on board the USS ENTERPRISE from 98 - 03, then I was stationed in San Diego at SIMA (later SWRMC) until I was given a medical discharge in March 07. Word of advice, try to not get stuck in a reactor compartment...

    My first rib eye roast

    NivekD, we pulled it @135 and let it rest about 30 minutes. We talked about checking the IT before slicing it, but the willpower was gone by that point! Chef JimmyJ, that sounds very good. I'm going to make sure she sees this. We just hit 160, so it's time for more apple juice and foil wrap. I'm...

    My first rib eye roast

    Chef Jimmy J, that au jus sounds amazing! Let me ask you something. We have a guy I work with that is addicted to gravy. So for the pulled pork I just threw into the smoker (thread to follow!) I wanted to make an herb gravy to pour over the top of the sandwiches once it's done. Any ideas? We did...

    My first rib eye roast

    Husker, my wife stole the idea for the corn from the dining room in the casino she works in (as a baker. Yes, I'm a lucky guy!) The corn was very good, and it was my first time trying polenta. We forgot to get potatoes so we looked in our pantry and found the polenta. I'm a huge mashed potato...

    My first rib eye roast

    I had to wait to get my thread approved, so since my last post, it finished smoking, sat for half an hour and was gobbled up! We added corn on the cob, which my wife boiled then let simmer in a bath of milk, salt and herbed compound butter. Add some creamy polenta, and of course some Dad's root...

    My first rib eye roast

    When I bought my MES 40", the first thing I smoked was a brisket. Since then, this site has helped me make some amazing pulled pork and turkeys so good my Mom finally agreed next year to spare us from her dried out version. My wife and I decided to break out of our comfort zone and try a ribeye...
