    New Home for the Lang

    Brisket Packer on the Lang

    I have only cooked a brisket half a dozen times and I have never smoked a brisket that I feel was "great". Only mediocre at best. Friday night I decided to try a brisket on my Lang 36 Patio Hybrid. It made all the difference in the world. Right tool for the job, as they say. Let's get started...

    Just pulled a brisket - What temp to put in oven

    I just pulled a packer off the smoker. It was a 12.6 pound packer that I cut 3 pounds of fat off. The IT is 205F. It wasn't suppose to be done until 5:00 but you know, it's done when it's done. I have it in a foil tray with 2 layers of foil on top. I just put it in an oven at 125F so that it...

    Blue Cheese Hamburger Fattie

    This weekend we were not able to smoke on the Lang because of Tropical Storm Debbie and the 12-1/2" of rain that it dropped. Thank goodness for the MES 40! We did a simple bacon wrapped fatty using lean ground beef instead of pork sausage, a little S&P and then loaded it with blue cheese. We...

    MES 40 Owners - Please Help!

    Yesterday I looked at the door of my MES40 and saw something disturbing. It looks like a bottom pin that holds the door onto the cabinet is about to break away from the door. Could someone that owns a MES40 look at their unit and see if theirs is bent also or if the pin is straight? Maybe it's...

    Pork Loin Back Ribs w/ QView - Pic Heavy

    I cooked this on a horizontal New Braunfels smoker. The ribs were as thick as beef ribs so I opted for the 3-2-1 method. I probably should have done the 2-2-1 method but the racks were so thick I thought I’d let them smoke an extra hour. I started the smoker with Kingsford charcoal but used...

    Powdered onion vs minced

    Last night I was picking up some spices for a new rub recipe. Instead of purchasing powdered Onion or powdered Garlic I purchased "Minced" instead. My thinking at the time was that the texture would be great. Today I'm left wondering if I did the wrong thing. Does anyone know if I would need to...

    Internal Temp for Baby Backs

    I've been searching and can't find what the internal temperature should be for baby backs. I'm using a MES 40 running at 225°. I was doing a 3-2-1 method and then realized I should be doing a 2-2-1 method instead. I just pulled them after 3 hours and wrapped them and I have an IT of 152° Thanks
