    First time smoking a brisket

    In my area near Boston, it's hard to find brisket, so when I saw a 6 pound flat for $4.99 a pound, a spent the $30 to give it a shot. Here's a pic after a little trim: Here's another pic after resting with a rub for 4 hours: I fired up my MES 30 to 225 degrees, filled my AMNPS with hickory...

    2nd Pork Shoulder Wasn't As Smooth As I Hoped

    The first time I smoked a shoulder on my MES30, it went well; 11 and a half hours at 225 w/ 6 hours of adding wood chips, and it tasted great. This time it didn't go exactly how I expected. I purchased an AMNS, and after testing it on a rack of ribs last week, filled 1.5 rows to try for 6...

    First time smoking a whole chicken

    I started by brining a 4 pound bird overnight. The next day I rinsed the bird and applied a rub on and under the skin for 24 hours. I smoked at 250 for 2 hours and 15 minutes until the internal temp was 165 using mesquite chips on my MES 30. Here is the result: I was going to be gone all day...

    First 'official' time making ribs on my MES 30

    The plan was to smoke 3 racks of baby backs; 2 with a traditional BBQ flavor and one rack of Chinese style ribs. I gave 2 racks some Mild Bubba Q Rub the day before: For the Asian rack I used the rub from Jeff's book and applied it an hour before smoking: The plan was to smoke a combo of...

    My first pork shoulder

    I am new to smoking and this forum. I have a MES 30 and smoked a picnic shoulder yesterday. After preheating to 275 and filling the water tray with hot water, I cooked at 225 for 10.5 hours and 250 for the last hour. I used the Mild Bubba Q Rub I found on this site. Good flavor in the rub, but I...

    Hello from Boston, Massachusetts

    Hello everyone. I live a half hour outside of Boston. Not quite the hub of BBQ, so I figured I'd have to start making my own. As a newbie to smoking, I purchased a MES 30. I've always thought a true pit boss would turn his nose up at an electric smoker, but I thought it would be an easier way to...
