    How long to smoke ribs?

    I did a search and came up with way too many answers but not the one I wanted. So here it is.  I am assumng that the 3-2-1 method of smoking spare ribs only uses smoke for the "3" section!? I bought a AMNPS today, and will be smoking this week maybe monday. I am quite certain that I only need...

    Normal ?!?! for MES 30 digital

    I'm guessing normal is different for each individual machine but this seems out of the box to me.. Having read that all internal smoker temp probes and thermostats are not accurate, I bought a maverick. Now I'm trying to maintain 180 degrees for some jerky. My MES remote says 185 and heating...

    Easy way advice ??

    I'm trying beef jerky this week and have the meat sliced very thin.....I use an electric slicer and the meat was mostly frozen so it came out really nice.  Anyway I'm more into the product right now since I'm very new and not so much into the process. My question is, if I'm buying my teriyaki...

    I have a large rack of ribs in the fridge in plastic wrap. Going into the smoker tomorrow. I'll try to figure out how to get pix into this thread in the morning.  I think next might be beef jerky. I want to make it less hard to bite than the kind you buy in the store. What kind of meat should I...

    Masterbuilt 20077915 30" Digital Electric MES

    I've seen many models of MES on the internet but never this model. Anyone else have one? If you do, what do you think of it.  I have only used mine once, yesterday and it worked pretty much as advertised. I will be using it again tomorrow for BBR and will see how it performs for that.

    Sarge and the smoker.....first attempt

    OK I've read a lot and seems like way not enough. So wing it. Or leg it as it were.  I'm smoking 16 chicken drumsticks. 3 hours at 250 degrees and using a mix of hickory and cherry woodchips in my MES 30 digital. All I did was oil them a bit, and sprinkle on some store bought chicken rub. ...

    which forum is my best choice?

    I just started here yesterday. I have a ton of questions and haven't learned how to use the search yet. I mean I know how to search but am so dense I don't know what to search for..  So this question just is, which of the several forums is my best choice for seeing others questions and answers...

    Hi I'm sarge1947
