    look what Santa brought me

    Well I had to break it in today for a family Christmas get together. Turned out pretty well for the first round on the new MES and for a "get to know my machine experience." I could pick out a few chewy spots here and there but it stayed juicy and I got the skin crispy enough to have a little...

    my first turkey

    Great thanks for the info. I'm somewhat keen on handling the bird from my experiences deep frying a thanksgiving turkey but I had no clue what may be different or not with smoking one.

    my first turkey

    Hi everyone. I am am trying to plan out thanksgiving for my family a little bit ahead. I was wondering if you need to brine or inject a turkey to hot smoke it? This will be a whole bird probably in the 12 to 14 pound range. Is there any other little tod bits I should know before I dive into it?

    Pork belly plan for Sunday

    Was it too fatty or didn't it cook as nice as you hoped? Maybe leaning it out next time would help. Just thinking out loud.....

    pork belly with the skin
