    First Full Packer Brisket on MBGS 1050 - Spoiler: I need more practice

    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...

    First Pizza on MBG 1050 (without a stone)

    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...

    First Picanha on MBG 1050 w GrillGrates

    I picked up a 3 LB Prime Picanha from Wild Ford ($12.99/lb) last week. After defrosting, I dry-brined with coarse kosher salt for a little over one hour.

    Many of you on this forum have discovered the yummy goodness of Tri-Tip and have posted many examples of your cooks. Well, here is another one 😊. What makes this post unique (in my mind) is that I used GrillGrates on a MBG 1050. After a near disaster with flare-ups on my Christmas Eve...

    First Beer Can Chicken

    Believe it or not, before this week, I had never done a beer can chicken. In my mind, the concept was great, but execution was a challenge. This past Christmas, I was gifted a BBQ-Aid 5-in-1 Smoker Set that came with a nice setup for Beer Can Chicken. The entire process was very easy and the...

    First Impressions: Day 1 with MBG 1050 - (long post warning -- too excited to be brief)

    Perfect Dino Rips cook and then my MES died

    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...
