    Smoking the flat of brisket

    Great and detailed as always. Did you spruce the brisket during the smoke?

    Smoking the flat of brisket

    Due to sharing half a steer with my in laws, I didn't get the full brisket. I got the flat of the brisket. I want to smoke it this weekend, using just salt/pepper, and butcher's paper. Is there anything else I need to consider since it's not a full brisket? Will it be less juicy since it's...

    U-Bolt mod for the AMNTS

    How much smoke are you guys getting from the tube? My smoke is blue but seems intense no matter what I do with dump tray. I used some wire to prop up the front of the tube and it’s lasting longer, but seems like a still get a lot of blue smoke

    Which MES40??

    I got mine used on Cragilist. I thought I'd get a used one to learn on, before I made a big investment. I started the same way with roasting coffee. Started with a popcorn popper, then moved on to a better home coffee roaster.

    iOS12 broke the Masterbuilt app

    Another bug: it identifies mine as a 30'' MES, when it is the 40''. Not a biggie.

    Boston Butt (Pulled Pork @ 265° Smoker Temp)

    Looks good as always. Would you say the taste/juiciness was different from your previous smokes at 225? Or about the same?

    Masterbuilt MES 130B - A-MAZE-N

    Sometimes I get too much smoke from the Tube with dump tray at 1-2 inches. Is there away to fix that? Sometimes the smoke is thin, and sometimes seems like it's intense and billowing.

    iOS12 broke the Masterbuilt app

    Thanks Bear, MB updated their app again, and I must say it has gotten better. I turned the MES on and went to sit down in the living room. Opened the app, and hit the remote option and it connected without any issues. There is still a bug when you open the app and the bluetooth is not on, is...

    U-Bolt mod for the AMNTS

    Will this help reduce the amount of smoke I get form the Tube? I feel like sometimes the tube gives off billowing smoke with dump tray at 1-2 inch. Sometimes I get the thin smoke, and sometimes more intense.

    iOS12 broke the Masterbuilt app

    It matched a thermopro, and another instant thermometer. It was within in 1 or 2 degrees. Or do you mean something else?

    iOS12 broke the Masterbuilt app

    It's a bit hard to connect but after connecting I found the app to work ok. I can sit in my living room with the smoker in the back porch, and it responds pretty good. I've also found my meat probe to be pretty accurate. I was surprised since many of this forum say the probe is not accurate.

    New smoker MES 2.5 - Pulled Pork not so juicy

    Thanks guys. Did I tell you I bought my MES used for $100? It looked pretty dirty. I tried to clean a bit, especially the door. My family member who previously said the meat had a bitter aftertaste said that the second pork butt still had the bitter aftertaste but not as much as the first...

    New smoker MES 2.5 - Pulled Pork not so juicy

    I tried the pork butt again this weekend with much better results. The meat was juicy and tender. The bark was better. I just ate some for lunch, and it was still juicy. Here's what I changed: 1. Used olive oil as binder, instead of mustard. 2. I let it rest in the fridge uncovered. 3...

    New Mes BT app release

    Somehow they managed to make the connectivity worse. After many tries I got it to connect to mes, but the control did not respond. When pressing the light button, my iPhone flashlight came on.

    New smoker MES 2.5 - Pulled Pork not so juicy

    How should the smoke look when coming out of the exhaust? When do you add the chips, after the smoker has warmed up? is the heavy smoke haze a good thing? I want to know what the thin blue smoke looks like. I had a family member (has a great palate) say that there is a bit of bitter after...

    New smoker MES 2.5 - Pulled Pork not so juicy

    I appreciate all your suggestions. I think I was rushing the smoke process due to wanting to "play" with my new toy, and to eat the pork during football. I will try to smoke a day before, so the temptations to rush things is taken away. where can I find the chef's finishing sauce, and...

    New smoker MES 2.5 - Pulled Pork not so juicy

    I used both chips and the tube for more smoke. I guess it was overkill. I think you are right about the taste thing. I read a lot here before getting my used smoker, but also watched lots of youtube video. the information overload can be a bit much. Aaron Franklin of Franklin BBQ down in...
