    Smoked a couple birds.

    So basically pat the bird down with paper towels, apply rub, and place on a rack over a shallow pan to air dry in the fridge over night. Is it okay to leave the rubbed drying bird for say,15 hours in the fridge?

    I am using an MES 30. It maxes out at 275. Spatchcocking seems like a pretty simple process, I may try that.

    As I continue my smoking adventure I am going to smoke a whole chicken this weekend. I started out with brats and then a bacon wrapped pork loin with smoked potatoes and green beans. I plan to put a homemade rub on and maybe even inject the breasts. Couple questions....... 1) Do you put the rub...

    Do you double check your meat probe temp?

    I recently purchased a MES 30 and it has a meat probe with it. I have been double checking the probe against the readings of a small round meat thermometer and they are reading +/-2 degrees of each other. For those of you that do the same, do you have a instant read thermometer you would...

    First full meal in the MES

    Supper turned out great. I started out at 275 degrees so I could get the bacon on the outside done. It was up to 125 IT in an hour and 15 minutes. I pulled it out and glazed it with ham brown sugar glaze and smoked for another 45 minutes to get the IT to 145. IT was super juicy and the flavor...

    First official smoke

    All went well with the exception of not allowing enough time to smoke to 165 IT. After an hour at 200 the brats topped out at 145 so I had to resort to finishing them on the stove. I would have tossed them on the grill but it was pouring rain and the rest of supper was ready. I'm guessing that I...
