Around 10 years ago I modified a little chief smoker with a hot plate that had been around since the 80's. When it died I went out and bought a new hot plate only to discover that the modern day hot plates have something built in that causes them to shut down when they get too hot. It would shut...
Welcome! Nothing wrong with an MES. I used an MES for almost 10 years until it gave out on me this year. Definitely start with something easy and forgiving like a chuck roast or a pork shoulder. Ribs are awesome but can be complicated for a newbie if you plan on doing 3-2-1method or a custom...
I would probably finish them on the grill. Depending on how you're smoking them(bacon wrapped? stuffed?) they run the risk of drying out if you leave them in the smoker while riding out the stall. It may be considered cheating but if it were me I'd throw them on the grill for a few minutes since...
Wow I haven't been on here in a while. Good to see this old thread is still going. Is that trash can galvanized? I'd worry about the heat causing poisonous fumes.
Thank you to all for the replies. Morton has been frustrating over the years as I've gotten different answers depending on who answers the phone there. They have also contradicted things that are in their home curing book so I feel more comfortable asking my fellow smokers than I do asking Morton.

So I used to make lots of belly bacon...
Hey b-one is tri tip easy to find out there? I'm from Cali and we live on tri tip here but when I went to Chicago to visit my wife's parents I couldn't find any. The guys in the meat department of several grocery stores looked at me like I was crazy.
Hey Dutch have you ever tried subbing habaneros for the jalapeños? I'm thinking it would be awesome for the heat lovers but was hoping you or someone else might have some feedback on it.
Good point. Butts are between $2.29-2.99 here in the bay area of California. Brisket shot up from $2.25 to between $3.40-5.00 a lb now. Its ridiculous. Maybe I will start some BBB.
By the way I made a batch with crushed and it was a hit. I think it was better since nobody could see the...
