    What the heck is a beef shoulder arm roast and how the heck do I cook/smoke it?

    Hey everyone. I have some friends coming over and I'm going to smoke a couple of butts in either my BGE or my WSM this weekend. However, I asked my wife to pick up something she would like and she brought home a 2.57 lb "beef shoulder arm roast." I have no idea what it is or how to prepare it...

    Hey Everyone- Hope that you all had a great week. I couldn't believe how lucky that I got last weekend. I had been keeping my eye on Craigslist for a couple of months and I finally found it! Less than 5 miles from my house a guy received a WSM 18.5 as a gift. The good news for me was that he...

    What to do if AMNPS is oxygen starved in MES.

    Yes, I know give it more oxygen. I will let the AMNPS burn with flame for 10 min before putting it in my MES. As soon as I put it in it's out in 15 min. I know it's not getting enough oxygen, but what can I do? My smoker is on a small deck enclosed on 3 sides so there is virtually no air flow...

    Ready to give it a second go! All night butt smoke. Q-View!

    Hey everyone. In honor of the Daytona 500 I decided to smoke a 6.4# butt. I put the butt on at 11:30 last night after rubbing it down and injecting with Cheerwine. My MES has been running fine, but I fought with my AMNPS for hours before I finally gave up. I think that using all Cherry was a...

    First Boston Butt is off but there's no bark!

    Hey everyone. I wanted to try my hand with a boston butt today so I fired up the MES electric this morning at 0515 with a 4.5 pounder. I prepped it with mustard and Jeff's rub yesterday and it looked good to go. I will try to attach a pic here but having trouble doing it from my ipad. At...

I have a Masterbuilt 30" electric fridge style smoker and wondered if it would be safe to use on the deck. I have used it 6 or 7 times at my parents...

    What temp to take wings off

    Hey everyone. I've got some wings on the smoker right now and I wasn't sure what temp I should take them off at. I really didn't want to look at them as I've already had trouble keeping the smoker temp up. Thanks Bb

    Warning: Beginner Question - MES Temp Check

    Hey everyone. I'm new to smoking and have a MES 30" cabinet style smoker. I have done 3 or 4 smokes in it, but I'm not sure that the digital temperature guage on the smoker is accurate. For example, I wanted to smoke some tenderloins which I thought would take an hour and a half so. I put them...

    Making my Smoking Debut today, but need some help.

    Let me begin by admitting up front that I know absolutely nothing about smoking meat (or any other type of cooking for that matter).  I purchased a 30" Masterbuilt Electric Smokehouse about a month ago, but am making my debut today. I know that I'm doing this wrong, but there is so much...
