    Cleaning glass on MES

    White or apple cider vinegar, a few paper towels or a basic no-scratch kitchen scrubby and a little elbow grease makes the glass in MES look like new. The scraper first might speed up the process and then the vinegar will finish off the job. I have never used anything but vinegar in my MES -...

    weber original vs premium

    I have a 22" with the ash catcher and love it. I don't see how not having the ash catcher would be easier/cleaner overall - maybe someone can clear that up. Doesn't it make a bit of a mess just having that little tray and then having to transfer the ashes to something else instead of just...

    Chicken Pie (Mama Bear Style)

    Western NY where I grew up that was also called a Pot Pie, but here in PA I believe it is a Pennsylvania Dutch thing where a Chicken Pot Pie is what Mrs Bear described: "Wide Noodles in it, and No Crust!!". Anyways - looks awesome!

    Thermoworks Coupon - 15% Off

    I don't see a response to the question about a SMF discount code - can someone confirm is there is one? I saw on another thread that SMF members get a discount, but I just called Thermoworks and they said there is no standing discount, just sales that pop-up you have to keep a lookout for.

    Smoking Habanero Peppers-Help!

    Hi Wimpy - or anyone else that may have tried this - any thoughts on running the temp up a bit (or quite a bit) to speed the process?  I have a MES 30 and want to try to smoke/dehydrate a batch of peppers in the MES in 12 hours - run it for one set of daylight hours and be done with it.

    Updated - Attempt #2: First Smoked Corned Beef Brisket & First Use Of iGrill Mini - With Some Fail.

    I got two corned beef briskets for a great price (free) and decided to smoke both to see if I could get a better result than last time.  I soaked them both in ice water, changing water every 45 minutes, for 5 hours with 5 peeled potatoes cut in half to absorb the salt. The good news is that it...

    Post smoke equipment clean up question

    For general cleaning, vinegar works great and obviously not harmful.  If your smoker has a glass door inset it cleans the glass amazingly easily/well if you hit it after each smoke. For your storage containers, I wouldn't use plastic at all - use glass containers as they do not hold smell like...

    POLL: why is this newbie a failure with 3-2-1 ribs... how?

    I don't think I would be diggin' that Country Sweet for the last hour saucing - it's not the right sauce for that IMHO.  I like Stubb's spicey BBQ sauce or Dinosaur BBQ (another western NY classic) Wango Tango sauce as my last hour saucing. You lost me on "while I was growing up NNN (;) years...

    POLL: why is this newbie a failure with 3-2-1 ribs... how?

    Lots of good advice there, so I won't try to add to that.  BUT, being a Rochester native your choice of sauce caught my eye.  Did you use the goldish colored sauce?  Looking online I see they have a brown BBQ sauce, but I have never tried that.  The goldish sauce I've used for chicken as an...

    Considering buying an Electric smoker

    Green - I am no where near as experienced and knowledgeable as the other guys posting here, but in my opinion - just go with option 2 and start smoking the way the instructions with it say to (along with some advice from here...).  You can buy the AMPNS and upgrade to other equipment later.  I...

    Pulled Pork Sammy Topping Question

    Haven't tried the relish topping yet, but did pick up some spicy Slawsa and wasn't real impressed...  I'll stick with some vinegar based spicy after sauce on the pork and cole slaw on top for now...

    Jerk Chicken Leg Quarters

    Thank you for all the kind words! Sundown - I was looking at info on the SnS last week and it looks like a nice accessory, especially if you're going to do a longer kettle smoke.  I may pick one up just for the sake of experimenting.  One thing that I wondered about is the water reservoir - do...

    Jerk Chicken Leg Quarters

    Thanks Sauced - this was super easy and really damn good!  It has inspired me to experiment with smoking on the kettle more and not just relying on the MES.
