This morning, my wife told me that she planned to make Corned Beef in the slow cooker. I offered to smoke it instead. Any excuse to use my new Meater thermometer.
10 hours in the MES30 and it turned out great!
Sandwiches tonight, and hash in the morning!
I’m a big fan of my Masterbuilt Electric, 30”.(MES30)
Electric is a great entry point. It was for me.
30” is big enough to smoke for a small family, but the machine is not too big.
If you catch the bug, you can even upgrade it with their Slow Smoker attachment, which allows you to do cold...
I had EXACTLY the same problem. I could not, for the life of me, keep my a-maze-n pellet tray lit in my MES 30. My friend told me to microwave the pellets first, to dry them out; but I don’t own a microwave.
Today, I picked up the cold smoker attachment and could not be happier.
I wish I had...
Well.... I didn't have to order pizza, but it definitely was not my best brisket.
I did indeed wait too long to pull it and it was on the dry side. The Flat(?) was thicker and fared better bu the point end was basically jerky.
It was delicious jerky, but...
Anyway, lesson learned.
I over estimated how long it would take my brisket to smoke. Now my beef is done about 4 hours before dinner.
If I lower the temp of my smoker and just let it sit at about 195 to 200 for a few hours, is there any detriment to that?
Instead, should I just pull it and reheat if necessary?
Hey guys, I know this forum is already full of first briskets, but I felt compelled to add mine. Just finished dinner.
12lb. Beef Brisket in a 30" MES (If the beef had been ANY bigger, it would not have fit in the smoker.)
I used the Jack Daniels Beef Rub, but I didn't think it had enough...
Thank you for the replies. I just got done with my second smoke, a Boston Butt.
For the first half of the smoke, I had the temperature set at 230° and when I looked into the chip loader could see unburned chips just sitting. I decided to crank the heat to 250° and voila, more smoke and...
Hello
I just bought a MES with Bluetooth (30" if it's important)
I've only used it once so far and I noticed that the wood chips were darkened, but not really turned to ash.
It was producing some smoke.
I was just expecting the chips to be "consumed" during use.
Thanks for any advice.
