    My first brisket

    I've been hooked for a few years now - but never had the time to do a brisket.  Also, was always a little apprehensive about ruining an expensive piece of meat...

    My first brisket

    After about 10 hours....  Here it is... absolutely the best beef I've ever tasted (IMHO) and cut-with-a-fork tender.  Nice smokey taste...

    My first brisket

    Out of the fridge after marinating over-night.  The rub is on and the MES is pre-heating.  I added more rub after this pic was taken.

    My first brisket

    It's overcast and cool, a little drizzly, but not enough to worry about.  Wish I could send some of this rain to you, but those darn Rockies get in the way.

    My first brisket

    Hi Gary, I've smoked ribs and a few other things in this MES. I also have an older MES and have smoked many times with it. That said, this will be my first brisket and I'm really looking forward to it. Tom

    My first brisket

    8 pound brisket out of the freezer and thawing out.  I'm following the recipe in John McLemore's "Dadgum That's Good" book and using my new MES 30 (bought from QVC - too good a deal to pass up).  The brisket was bought from CostCo and looks to be already trimmed.  More Q-View to come as I go...

    Which Thermometer to trust - Butterball Turkey

    Right now I'm smoking a butterball turkey with the little plastic temperature indicator that pops up when the turkey is done.  I've also got my meat thermometer buried deeply in the breast of the turkey. The bird weighs between 12 and 14 pounds and has been in my MES set between 225 and 250 for...

    Smoked Spare Ribs

    Can anyone suggest a site (on this forum/wiki or elsewhere) that provides a good outline on different spices, how they enhance different meats/veggies, how they enhance each other (or don't play well together? My wife has always been in charge of cooking in our home (and my Mom before that) -...

    Smoked Potato Salad - w/Qview

    I'm thinking that if you smoked the hard-boiled eggs, you'd end up with something that could replace my dog's Kong toys.  The potatoes added a really nice smoke flavor to the salad.  But I'm not one to discourage experimentation.  Give it a try and let us know how it came out...
