    My first pork butt!

    Looks good. Nice looking bark. Like yours my butts also take about 20 hrs. Some a little less some a little longer. I do not wrap my butts at anytime while in the smoker. When it hits the target temp I pull it and wrap right away in foil and place in a cooler. I use one of those igloo playmate...

    Dehydrating Apples With an MES 40

    oh boy, I am not sure. The apple trees that my parents have produce small apples, about the size of a baseball or smaller, mostly smaller. If I had to guess about 20 small apples. I wish I had 2 more racks in my MES I could have done more. That is funny about re-hydrating!

    Dehydrating Apples With an MES 40

    I got some apples from my parents and wanted to dehydrate a few to snack on later. We have a dehydrator but it is a small one and it takes forever to do apples in it. So I got thinking, could I do the apples in the MES. So broke out the apple peeler and cored and sliced a bunch of apples. (...

    I just had the longest smoke of my life

    The Pork buttes look good though. I also have an MES 40 and I just did the PID conversion to it. I used The Auber Instruments Controller. The last smoke that I did I was getting 15 degrees swings in Smoker temps. Just did some ribs and with the new controller I was within 1 degree at all times!

    MES 40 Upgrade

    Thanks for the heads up on the temp probe location. Maybe I can make a second bracket and mount it lower down so that I can have choices on probe location.

    MES 40 Upgrade

    I was seeing it with my own temp probe. My thermometer is a dual probe, I use one from the meat and the other for smoker temp. The MES just would wait too long to cycle the heating element on and it seemed that but the time it came on the smoker temp was already down almost 10 degrees and it...

    MES 40 Upgrade

    I have decided that it was time to upgrade my MES 40. I knew that it's performance was so-so, but I never had any issues till this last smoke where I did ribs. it worked but I noticed that the smoker temp would swing all over the place. Sometimes up to 15 degrees. I got myself an Auber...

    Pork Butt HELP!!!!

    Every pork butt that I have done has always had some fat inside. I smoke my butts to 205. All my smokes are LOOOOOONG smokes too. sometimes over 20 hrs! Once I get to 205 I will pull the butt and wrap it in aluminum foil and place it in a small cooler to rest. I let it rest for at least an hour...

    Blackstone Ground Beef Tacos

    Looks good. I have found that using chicken chopped up in place of the ground beef also makes a good alternate to beef tacos.
