    Crazy idea for pulled pork (thoughts welcome)

    Fingers crossed I find a small enough butt to try this on over the weekend. If so I will report back with my findings.

    Crazy idea for pulled pork (thoughts welcome)

    I would add the tallow after the stall when I wrap it in foil. For my brisket I always do two wraps one after the stall and then after I hit final temp I take it off the smoker and let it rest until IT is 180 followed by unwrapping it and rewrapping it in more beef tallow and fresh paper. Then...

    Crazy idea for pulled pork (thoughts welcome)

    I really like this idea as well! I figured pork lard would work well as it is just adding the same type of fat. The beef tallow crossed my mind because everyone knows a good burger only gets better with bacon on it! So by adding the beef fat would it add to the depth of flavor. I guess I...

    Crazy idea for pulled pork (thoughts welcome)

    So I just finished up a brisket last weekend and rendered down all the fat in the smoker to make smoked beef tallow. When I wrapped my brisket I put a good coating of the tallow on the paper and then did it again prior to the 18 hour rest. The results were amazing! Such tender and juicy brisket...

    Brisket done how long can it rest safely

    I used my old MES30 for my last brisket to hold it over night. I set mine to 163 and put an old adobe tile in to help as a heat sink. Temps stayed +\- 1 degree for 17 hours till I sliced the brisket. Highly recommend trying a longer rest of 12+ hours if you have the ability to do it.

    Extended 18 hour active Brisket Hold Experiment Was a Success!

    We must be fans of the same youtuber haha. I did the exact same experiment this weekend except I used my old MES30 to hold it over night. I also rendered the fat into tallow and smeared it on the paper before wrapping it. if you plan on doing this on a regular basis and can score an old MES...

    Master Build Gravity Series 1050 & Fireboard As Control

    I have that exact set up currently here is my thoughts. Using the fireboard 2 with the drive cable has allowed me to accurately watch my temps from anywhere I have cell service. I can adjust the temperature of the smoker from 100 miles away if needed. The graphing feature and being able to...

    Looking for recommendations on a good wireless/WiFi meat thermometer

    I just got myself the new fireboard 2 that also has the capability of driving an electric fan if you have a smoker like the masterbuilt 560. I have not used it on the smoker yet but I have it outside my house measuring the ambient temperature. What is really nice about it is I can watch it from...

    Masterbuilt 560 extra smokey on start up

    I just wanted to give everyone an update. So I have completed a few more smokes on my 560 since my initial post. What I have been using is either El Diablo lump charcoal or FOGO and I have noticed a much cleaner smoke along with less smoke on start up. Another key thing I have figured out is...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Also I know there is someone else on here who mentioned Brickseek.com to find the best deal around town. I know searching yesterday in my area (san dieg) I could get a 560 for $330. I don't think you will be disappointed at all when it comes to the quality of food this produces. I was coming...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Here is my breakdown: I absolutely love my 560, granted I only paid $200 for an open box special. This allowed me to keep some money in the bank for upgrades down the road (fire board, and firebox mod). if you are coming from a pellet smoker or no smoker at all you’ll be very impressed with the...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I haven't had major issues just the occasional drop in connection if I leave the house and come back. I am also using a thermoworks wireless therm to keep an eye on my meat and on the smoker temp just in case it starts to overheat or if the fan dies.

    SV Tri Tip Smoked

    First let me say my desk is now covered in drool that looks amazing!! How would you compare the tenderness to just a standard smoked tri tip? And would you be willing to share your coffee rub recipe?

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    You can always just cut and solder the wires together or use a butt splice to make it think the door is always closed. The lid switch for the actual bbq on mine broke as well so no big deal opening the lid with the fan on. Note of caution if this is for the hopper lid or ash tray door i would...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I would say yes and no. Yes they will fit but one will be on the bottom grates and the other will have to go on the highest rack. There will be a temp difference between the two heights in the smoker so it will require a little more attention. I think the 1050 would be a better option for you...

    Thank you, I was leaning towards using briquettes for hot cooking and save the large lump pieces for the low and slow cooking.
