    Christmas cheese

    Bummed out, did about 30 pounds of mixed cheeses last year, came out awesome but I waited until too close to Christmas before I smoked them( ok since more for us). Stuff disappeared quickly at parties. Was going to do some a few months back to give plenty of time for aging but forgot, oh well...

    Anybody like pecan wood?

    Pecan/apple combo for my turkeys and chicken. Nothing better than the smell of the 2 together, the entire hood knows what I'm cooking based on the smells filling their homes. The taste is great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Master Forge Smoker temp not high enough

    I just bought regular red bricks and wrapped them in foil to keep them clean. Was gong to get fire bricks but they were out of them and these actually work perfect. I have one on each side of the burner and 3 arranged on a rack above the the chip tray. If I use water or want a catch pan I just...

    Master Forge Smoker temp not high enough

    Just drill more holes for the grate holders to get that additional shelf back. I actually drilled new holes in between every set of existing holes so now I have actually doubled the number of racks I can run.

    Master Forge Smoker temp not high enough

    I have the MF vertical smoker also. Here is a list of things I have done to make it work WAY better. 1.) drill new holes 1 1/2" higher to raise the chip pan up a bit, can run at higher temps without scorching the chips and chips smoke longer equalling less times door is opened leading to heat...

    Block party brisket.

    Gonna start them at 6pm tonight at 225F then kick the temp down to 180F after they hit the 140F mark. I like the results with slow and since that is the official speed limit of our favorite island, Caye Caulker in Belize for both vehicles and people it works out great. Allows more time for...

    Block party brisket.

    Thanks, that's what I thought but I read somewhere else that it was by total mass in the chamber.

    Block party brisket.

    Have a block party tomorrow and everyone is bringing a dish. I decided to do 2 briskets. I have done a total of 2 before, 1 each time. Both were in the 16lb range, both cooked low at varying temps for close to 24 hours. Came out awesome and everyone loved them(still asking me to cook them one)...

    Master Forge Vertical Gasser Mods

    Old thread I know but just used my AMNPS last night for my first cheese smoke. I took the chip tray out of my MF double door smoker, removed the lid then inverted the chip pan and placed it back in the smoker sitting on the bottom over the burner(off). Gave a nice flat spot down low for the...

    I have questions about raising pigs for meat

    The new problem is Monsanto going after non GMO farmers. Non-GMO farmer plants his seeds that he saved from last years crop. Seeds grow into mature plants. Mature plants begin to flower, bees that just collected pollen from the GMO crop on a separately owned farm now fly to the non-GMO farm next...

    Cleaning my MES - Let the steam do the work

    I throw my racks in the oven when we run it on self clean mode, anything on the racks turns to ash and the racks come out spotless and almost new looking. Works every time. Sent from my iPhone using smoke signals.

    I call it "ba-candy"!

    We had a cook at a bar used to work at that was a former cruise ship cook that made this all the time. He used to get so pissed when we would end up eating it all. He made it for BLT's but very little if any made it into sandwiches when I was around. We just called it bacon candy. Sent from my...
