    MES 30? New to electric smokers

    I WAS LOOKING FOR THAT!!!! I knew it was around somewhere but couldn't find it. Might be because all the internet I have at the moment is my phone...I'll use that as my excuse. Thanks, I'll check it out.

    MES 30? New to electric smokers

    Hi. I recently acquired a slightly used smoker. It's probably only had 4-5 smokes in it so far. It is way more awesome than your smokers because it was free. I believe it is an MES 30, gen 2? I could easily be wrong. Any mods i should look into? I'm already collecting pieces for the mailbox...

    Bring a BGE up to temperature... this century?

    In my experience, there are two possibilities. 1. You are using bad charcoal. Maybe a bad brand or a good brand that got wet. 2. The egg is clogged and needs to be cleaned. When was the last time it was used?

    What should my next purchase be?

    I currently have a large Big Green Egg which I love. The one thing that I do not like about the Egg is the capacity. I can do 2 whole chickens or 2 large pork butts. But I would like something that can hold at least double that amount, 4 chickens or 4 butts. I'm looking at pellet smokers...

    Price for prime rib (choice)

    I found some for $6.99/lb. Not sure why they call it prime rib when it's choice, but it looks good. Not sure if this is a good deal, bad deal, or normal deal. Can anyone help? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

    Green bean casserole ideas?

    Thanks for the ideas. I don't have any smoked cheese, but I think I can get hold of some homemade stuff. I'll think about the bbq sauce idea as well. At the very least, I'll make homemade fried onions for the topping. And I'd like to use fresh green beans, not canned. Sent from my SCH-I535...

    Green bean casserole ideas?

    So my wife decided that we are having Easter dinner with some neighbors. Which is fine, but she signed me up to bring green bean casserole. Not brisket, or ribs, or pulled pork, or anything cool like that. Has anyone ever made a smoked green bean casserole? Or have a good recipe that doesn't...

    My first prime rib

    Thanks for all the kind words. The standing rib roast was just under five pounds. The initial smoke to get IT to 130 took about two and a half hours. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

    My first prime rib

    Wow. That recipe sounds great!  It also makes me admit something that I didn't want to tell anyone..... ....I didn't make any Au Jus.....I didn't even make any horseradish sauce.... Don't lynch me just yet, I have a good excuse.  I was all set to start the Au Jus and horsereadish, but I got a...
