    Meat shopping in Europe

    Hello all, Just moved to Belgium with the military and am having a hard time finding quality beef. I’m shopping almost exclusively at Carrefour, but their cuts of beef are all very very lean and so far everything I’ve cooked has been a bit chewy. Anyone here have advice on where to shop for...

    Snake method hardwood strategy

    Hi all, Former electric smoker chump here, just moved to charcoal (22” Weber Kettle). I’m doing ribs for the first time on charcoal, and used the snake method. As I’ve seen in every video and article about the snake method, I put some hardwood chunks on my snake to get some good smoke as the...

    Alright everyone, I’ve done it. After months and months of tinkering, I’ve finally achieved a nice smoke ring on ribs in my MES with mailbox mod!!! And no, I didn’t use curing salts. I considering that cheating, don’t know why. First off, I used the wet-dry method, but honestly I didn’t know...

    Beef spare ribs on MES30

    Hey beefers, Just did my first beef smoke today. I’ve been smoking meat for about a year and have only done pork and chicken, so this was a new adventure for me. Picked up 8lbs of beef ribs from a local butcher and dry brined them for about 16 hours in the fridge. This morning I rubbed them...

    Getting better bark in mailbox modded MES30

    Any tips for getting better bark in an MES30 with mailbox mod and AMNPS? I've done 4 rib cooks and 1 pork butt, and i'm having trouble getting consistent bark without skipping a wrap stage. For instance, the ribs I made yesterday were on the smoke for 6 hours straight, no wrap. The bark was...

    More NO in mailbox modded MES30 w/AMNPS

    Goodmorning everyone, I've dug around the site for a bit now and have found a lot of discussion around the topic but nothing directly answers my question: how do you effectively increase NO production in a mailbox modded electric smoker with AMNPS?

    Hello! Or as we say down here in Florida, "Alligator hurricane tourist hockey"

    Hi all, Checking in from beautiful Seminole, FL. Moved down here with the military last year, and that's part of my serendipitous foray into smoking meat! I'm originally from Massachusetts, and growing up there meant that "BBQ" was burgers and dogs, steaks, and grilled seafood. The Army has had...

    Prepping a boneless butt: tying, rub, and other questions

    Good evening all, getting ready to smoke my first pork butt. I have a few questions that I’d like some advice from the experts on: The butt is boneless, and thus a little floppy. I plan on tying it up with twine before it goes in the smoker. Do I tie it up before or after I put the rub on...

    MES mods for a newbie

    I’ve wandered into the deep end. A neighbor set their MES30 out on the curb with a sign that said “free, it works” (I think they just bought a kamado) and I took it home, having never thought about smoking meat beyond enjoying the food I’ve had made by friends. I tried it out yesterday and had...
