    Jeff's Smoked Chicken Cordon Bleu

    Got Jeff's email earlier in the week and decided to attempt this over the weekend.  WOW did this come out great!  Simple, straight-forward, and a quick smoke.....I'll definitely be making this again.

    After my semi-recent successful brisket, I'm going to attempt a Pork Shoulder Picnic. Last week, I picked up a 12.17 lb picnic and am planning to smoke it overnight.  Now, I know there's not a set time this will take.  But, if I was ball-parking dinner tomorrow evening around 6 pm, would it be...

    Smoke #2: spare ribs (more q-view!!)

    First time smoker / making jerky (w/q-view!)

    So, I seasoned my new MES 30 this week and have intentions on smoking some jerky tomorrow. I got 5 lbs of beef and trimmed/sliced it up tonight. I threw together a marinade using soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and added red pepper flakes to...
