    Never smoked a Brisket help please.

    Low and slow Noble!  I usually stick to about 225 and roll hickory smoke all over it.

    First cold smoke - Kielbasa

    Great point Bear, I should mention that I cover it with foil but that still doesn't seal like a jug!  My recommendation is cheese in the cold smoking category... a favorite gift of friends and family!

    First cold smoke - Kielbasa

    Looks great! Point! You could put an aluminum pan filled with ice on the bottom rack and that will help shield the kielbasa and keep the temp down.  Some also put large frozen jugs in the smoker.  I've cold smoked throughout the summer! Good luck.

    Mailbox mod for my MES 30

    I've done the mod for my MES 30 and I didn't bother removing the chip tray, ample smoke still makes it into the chamber with it in place.  Like Bear said unless you want this to be a cold smoker I wouldn't touch the heating element!  Obviously the loader just needs to be pulled out by the handle...

    I like where your head is at and will definitely do that, a few things on the smoking list prior though!

    Quick Chipotle and garlic hot wings

    Thanks for the info uncle, I've been debating flash frying for a couple minutes at the end... maybe I'll give both a try!

    Quick Chipotle and garlic hot wings

    Those look great, my last smoked wings attempt ended up with rubbery skin so I've been debating how I'd combat that, one thought was raising temp to 275... do you think that worked out well for it?

    First time bacon questions

    Thanks for all the info and your opinions Tall! I was wondering if that would be considered cooked or not and if eating it at that point was acceptable. I actually like mine a little more on the crispy side so I'd probably fry it up even if I did smoke it at that temp. Hilarious about the...

    First time bacon questions

    Thanks for the response! I'll have to pull it back out and measure it to give exact size but it's smaller than many of the pics I have seen posted. Here is a shot after it cut it with all of the thickest parts facing us. Do you think a longer time in the fridge after the smoke would be ok? I...

    First time bacon questions

    Thanks for the response Al, I was thinkkng I'd prefer the colder smoking for it! Are the days after that in the fridge to allow the smoke to mellow?

    First time bacon questions

    Hello all!  I am in the process of making bacon for the first time and had a couple questions.  I have a pork belly(cut in thirds) going on 8 days in Pops brine right now and wanted to ask a couple questions.  First I see a range typically from 10-14 days for the cure time... I'm curious why...

    First time for ribs!
