I smoked my first full packer brisket this weekend for my brother’s housewarming/birthday gathering. I got a 17.5 whole brisket from Wild Fork. I was very concerned with the cooking time as we were going to eat at 3 PM. In a moment of panic, I decided to split the flat from the point to decrease...

I made my first homemade pizza on the grill tonight. I ordered a pizza stone that didn't arrive on time, so I decided to go stoneless. NGL, the result was pretty good. I'm not sure how the stone would make a difference - other than when you apply toppings to the pizza. My process was simple...

After my MES 30 died, I decided to do what any red-blooded man would do, upgrade the MES with a PID and add a MB Gravity 1050 to the arsenal. I cooking for a large (30 heads) Nochebuena dinner on Christmas eve (my extended family is Cuban) and Christmas breakfast on 12/25. After much forum...

Quick synapsis: My perfect beef short rib cook was interrupted when my MES 30 died. What do I do? Fix it or replace it? I have had my MES 30" (? Gen - Digital with window, no Wifi or RF) for 18 months. I have done dozens of cooks with it, all have come out spectacular. My only issue was...
