    Score!!! Fridge for garage

    I have a butt and some ribs in there, a side of belly in the freezer and a whole bunch of bottled water just to take up space because they work better full. I got it because bacon needs a special place to smoke up in between smokes. Hubs objected to smokey iced tea 128522 Sent from my iPad...

    My first pork butt, help

    I have a 5.5 lb pork butt that I want to smoke tomorrow in my MES30. I tried smoking one a year ago and it was a disaster. Way too salty. So I am coming to the pros here for help. How should I season? Salt, pepper, garlic onion? I also have some of this and all kinds of seasoning ingredients...

    I think they are like basements and garages, no matter how big (or how many) one always uses all of the space. 128513 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Cold smoke attachment and bacon

    Thanks Wade. I need to see how running it empty on max temp for 2.5 hours did for it. It may be easier to brush off then re-evaluate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cold smoke attachment and bacon

    That honestly makes great sense! There was more smoke billowing out of the cold smoke accessory than the box. Okay, next cold smoke (which may be two weeks out because I need to cure my next belly cut (I cut my belly into thirds, 3-4# each) will be with the ash tray adjusted for good...

    Cold smoke attachment and bacon

    THANK YOU Cranky! I tried to do that and hubs (who doesn't have any experience in this) tried to tell me I shouldn't/couldn't leave the ash drawer open a fraction of an inch "because it isn't designed that way". Now I can print your advice and show it too him! Ha ha ha ha...128527 Sent from...

    Cold smoke attachment and bacon

    Thanks DaveOmak. Outside temps were in mid 70s. But I added a frozen bottle of water in the drip pan to keep the temp below 80. No real way to adjust airflow on the cold smoke attachment. But I keep my MES box vent wide open. I was getting a complete burn in the cold smoke as the ash pan was...

    Cold smoke attachment and bacon

    Last two burns were cold smoke at night. I used primarily apple but had some hickory in there. Smoke was thick and white on the first problem burn but settled to TBS Last night it wasn't calming down to tbs. It smells more of cigarette than wood. I think it may have had humidity get to the...

    Cold smoke attachment and bacon

    ​Hi Browneyesvic, I used the cure calculator through the forum.  I am troubled by my smoke.  The last two smokes seemed too heavy with creosote.  I wont know if it adversely effected the bacon until I let it "season" for a couple days.  I'm not sure if I have an airflow issue or if...
