    First Chuckie Started

    First chuckie is in the smoker. Just rubbed with some worchestishire and Lucille's BBQ Rub. Didn't inject. Figured I'd go simple on my first one and go from there. Still debating on whether I want to wrap at 160 or not. I have to go to my daughter's soccer party today and am worried about it...

    Wife likes them ABT's

    Yesterday I made my first ABT's. However, the wife was out for a girls night out so she missed them. We had made arrangements for me to pick her up from the restaurant so she could have a few drinks. It was funny because all the way home I was ranting and raving about the ABT's and she was...

    Prime Rib, Dutch's Beans, and ABT's

    Did a prime rib today with Dutch's beans and some more ABT's. Love them ABT's!!! Got the prime rib from my mother-in-law and she got it from Kansas City Steakhouse. Came vacuum sealed with a prime rib style marinade so all I had to do was take it out and throw it in the smoker. Made the...

    Porcelein or Ceramic OK in Smoker?

    I want to try some of the recipes I've seen on here for mac n cheese, Dutch's baked beans, etc. I'm going to ask for a Dutch Oven for Christmas, but in the meantime I have to ask if porcelein or ceramic is OK to use in the smoker. Getting some push back from the wife because she is worried that...

    Beef Ribs and pulled pork last weekend

    Smoked some dino bones last weekend. Been a crazy week - finally getting a chance to post. It was my birthday dinner with the family so of course I had everyone over and cooked for them. Sort of a funny story. We had the rich aunt and uncle over. We served buffet style so they each got some...

When she's 30 and I let her go on her first date I figure this is good for a couple of reaons: 1) She won't be...

    Pork Shoulder Chuck Roast

    Was at the store today and they had these huge cuts of meat labeled Pork Shoulder Chuck Roast. The label didn't say anything about Pork Butt, Boston Butt, or Picnic. These were huge, 12-14 lbs. Would these be the whole shoulder?

    The seal on my garaze freezer is giving out

    Just noticed this today when I was stuffing a bunch of meat I bought on sale into the freezer. Don't know how long it has been like this. The unit is a fridge/freezer combo with the freezer on the bottom. It is about 9 years old and is a Whirlpool. Pics of the issue are below. Figured I'd post...

    Lots of wook chips left over from my last smoke

    My last smoke was my first smoke. I had the feeling towards the end that I was using too many wood chips. This morning I was getting the smoker ready for my smoke today and saw this when I pulled out the chip tray. Check out all the unburned chips. I guess that confirms my question that I was...

When I picked up the tritip today I ended up also picking up some CSR pork ribs (small package of 3 just to try out) and then I also decided to get a package of chicken wings to try those out. What I'm not sure about is how long each will take so...

    Where do you store your smoker, especially during the winter?

    I have a 30" MES. I will be getting a cover for it next weekend. One of those that has the elastic on the bottom. I live in the central valley in California so we're pretty dry during the summer but we can get some rain during the winter. We don't get any snow. Would it be OK to store the MES...
