1st Attempt with Baby Back Ribs and I have a few questions
So I decided to try my luck with baby back ribs yesterday and they turned out ok and a little dry. I rubbed them down with Jeff's rub just before they went into the smoker (MES30). I smoked two racks of ribs cut into thirds (6 pieces total). Once the smoker was at 225, I added the ribs and set... -
Pecan Smoked Chicken Wings - Qview
I got a newsletter from Jeff with the recipe for Pecan Smoked Chicken Wings and decided I need to try it. The prep work was fairly easy. I mixed together Jeff's rub and mixed it with the chicken. I used about 4lbs of chicken and 3/4 cup of rub and 1/3 cup of olive oil. I probably could have used... -
Jeff's Rub Question
I purchased Jeff's rub and sauce last weekend. I received the email from him today for Pecan Smoked Chicken Wings. They looked so good and I want to try the recipe.

Is wrapping a butt in plastic necessary?
I have been reading about the preparation of pork butts. It seems like many wrap the butt in plastic once the rub is added and placed in the refrigerator. Is wrapping the butt in plastic necessary? It seems like a lot of the rub and mustard would come off by doing so. Is there a minimum amount... -
Dented MES30. Do I need to be worried?
I received my MES30 yesterday and once I removed all of the packaging, I noticed a dent in the back corner. The box was in good shape and the packaging was fine. I am assuming this is something that occurred at the manufacturer and got through their quality control. Anyway, do I need to be...- zx24
