First time wings
Hey all! I've been a lurker here for a while reading and learning. I recently made a switch from a MES40 to WSM 18.5 and man what a difference in flavor!! I've cooked a couple briskets and a few butts but haven't ventured into the poultry side much. I ate some smoked chicken a few weeks ago... -
Getting ready to buy the WSM and have a few questions.
As the title says, im in the market for a new smoker. I currently have a MES 40 and am not happy with it. It does make great Q but it's a PITA! Thought getting the AMAZN pellet tray would help but I can't seem to keep the pellets lit and the Q tastes like I baked it.. no smoke. Sooo.. all...- PoPoNoMo

MES-40 and AMNPS
Just wondering if anyone has a video of the AMNPS working in a MES-40 Gen 2. I've tried mine a couple of times now and it doesn't necessarily go out but doesn't seem to be putting out much smoke either. Also, the last pork butt I smoked just didn't have that much of a smoke flavor.- PoPoNoMo

2nd attempt at baby backs
Yesterday, I made my second attempt at smoking baby back ribs. If you read my first attempt, you know it was a bust. I used SAMs ribs and removed the membrane. Rubbed with mustard then a good rub of seasoning. This time, I used a different thermometer that I had tested via the boil method... -
Tried babybacks tonight.
Well it sure isn't as easy as you see on TV. I tried the 2-2-1 method and sad to say, I failed. The ribs had a great smoke flavor but were definitely not fall off the bone. There was no bark and they were tough as boot leather. My guess is not long enough somewhere? I had a feeling it... -
New to smoking and haven't a clue!
I just bought a MES40. Last night I put it through the seasoning session so that's taken care of. This is gonna get a little long winded so please bear with me. I've been reading these forums but I'm just seeing pics of people's food that makes me want to smoke but doesn't answer the...- PoPoNoMo

The latest new guy!
Hello all, Living in NW Arkansas, I have enjoyed BBQ all my life but never really got into smoking foods on my own. Lately, I've been watching a lot of BBQ Pitmasters and have to say my mouth waters during the shows. Today, I went out and got myself a MES 40 to start my trials of smoking. I...
