Hi oldpro1946,
When I do a brisket, I get it in the smoker at about 4AM and keep the smoke going for about 6 hours. There's no getting around that with the MES. It is usually ready to pull out by 4PM. Then wrap it in a couple of towels and place in an ice chest for an hour or two to let...
Nice job on the ribs! I have the Masterbuilt XL just for the ability to put whole racks in. The Masterbuilt smokers are awesome once you modify to your liking.
Cheers!
Since you only have one probe, you can use it to check your smoker temp by getting a small potato or onion and push the probe all the way through it so that the tip is sticking out of it. Then put the probe in the smoker making sure that the probe doesn't touch anything metal or it will ruin...
Looks good so far. You can sit in the cooler for at least 2-3 hours. It will be still hot!
Pork butts and briskets are done when their done! This one only took 10 hours and the next one will take 14! They're all different. Good luck! Looks great!
Cheers!
I found that I get a lot more smoke from apple wood than other woods for some reason. The AMNPS is slow burn in a small quantity. Like Scarbelly said, you don't have any control over the wood burn rate. It all burns at the same time whereas the AMNPS burns from one end to the other.
Minx Boy,
Burnt ends are like little bites of meat candy! Tiny pieces of heaven!! You gotta try 'em!!! There are plenty of posts here about burnt ends. It's a must when doing a briskey!! Oldschool's ends look superb!
Welcome aboard! Many helpful people here! They like lots of photos!!!
Don't forget to sign up for the 5 day ecourse if you haven't already. Great stuff in there!
Cheers!
Mine usually average at least 2 hours per lb. taking the stall in to account. If it sits there at the same temp for more than 2 hours, wrap it in HD foil and that will get it going again. After foiling, it takes about another hour and then keep an eye on it because the temp will start...
The brisket looks great but I'd be afraid of gettin' some funny flavors from the pine outhouse. I'm no expert by any means but they say not to use pine for smoking. I'm just sayin...
It looks good though! Great job!
Cheers!
Hi Bodyman!
The 40-140 in 4 hrs rule means you need to make sure you take the IT from 40° - 140° in 4 hours or less to meet the USDA safety guidelines to be safe. So that I don't mis-state anything, there is a good thread to review. ...
