    MES 30 Pork Shoulder - Finally Figured it out

    Did some Youtube video watching of the famous Franklins BBQ in texas. My MES 30 is very inconsistent on temp missing the mark by up to 20 plus degrees short at times.

    Skinless Chicken Breasts for the Smoker...

    In regards to whole chickens I have done in the past, I have found my family doesn't like the skin that comes out of the smoker, no matter how crispy or soft or whatever.  The brine is what makes the chicken in my opinion.  That said, I have tried whole chickens and removed the skin with all...

    New Element...not heating any at all now?!?

    I am convinced now after receiving multiple parts from the manufacturer that these units aren't  worth the money and don't function consistently or at all.  Sad because the concept is really good.

    Is cold smoke the same as clean smoke.

    Does one type of fuel (pellets, chunks, or shavings) produce less creosote than another??? Thanks

    You got it.  I don't think I will do another bird without brine.  Makes a world of difference.

    My New "Old" Smokehouse Construction

    All of it is pretty LEGIT!  I think the only thing I would do on your build is extend the other side of the roof and add a nice two person bench with wine...I mean beer cup holders.  Maybe even a hammock.   I would never leave! HAHA

    Buttermilk Brisket Brine

    Buttermilk is pretty expensive to use as a brine and "throw away" after no??? I love the picture of it hanging over your sink faucet.  My wife would flip. HAHA.  On the ribs, why were they amazing? Did the buttermilk help the flavor or jus the tenderness? ( I think you only replied on brisket...
