    Boneless Pork Loins on sale at Food Lion in the South

    For those of you in the North Carolina / South Carolina and maybe even surrounding states (I'm just not sure how far that store reaches) they have smaller cut, 2.50 pounds to at least 4 pound Boneless Pork Loins on sale for $1.49 per pound which is quite fair for around here. Just picked up a...

    Need some Advice

    I picked up my pork belly yesterday and they weighed in at 5.89, 5.48, 5.82 and 5.82 pounds for a total of 23.01 pounds. I cleaned them up and they are currently weighing in at three of them at 5lbs and one of them at 4lbs 14ozs. I think I can call it 5lbs on the last one and be safe for a...

    12lbs of Smoked, dry rubbed bacon!!!

    Thanks to the help from Bear and DaveOmak I've had a successful stint on making bacon.. Very excited for the next smoke and trying my own personal rub next time rather than the commercial one I bought from Walton's. It was good, but too salty as many know. My only saving grace was soaking it...

    Bottom Round for Roast Beef Sandwiches

    I wanted to go with a cut that wasn't going to break the bank and try some of the suggested seasonings to see if I liked it. Picked up a 1.94 lb roast. Day 1 - I rubbed Worchester sauce over the bottom round. Couldn't find the THICK type around here, I wonder if it is a Demographics thing or...

    Does anyone use a WSM 18.5 to smoke their Bacon?

    I have an MES 40 that I haven't really enjoyed because the temps seem impossible to stabilize. That being said about 4 yrs ago I purchased a WSM 18.5 and I feel like I could smoke anything. I use the "minion" method with a can in the middle, heat the coals, dump them in the center and pull the...

    WSM 18.5 has a new probe modification now? Anybody else know about this?

    So today I got my new WSM 18.5 home and my son and I started putting it together. I bought all the parts to drill holes for the MODS I have been reading about. When I pulled the middle barrel out I noticed this round hole to the right of the cheap (and I mean cheap piece of crap door) door...

    Double Smoked Hams with Qview

    I took a page out of Bearcarver’s book and decided for our Boy Scout Christmas Party I would double smoke a ham as my contribution to our Christmas potluck dinner. I should first note that I am usually one of the guys that does ALMOST all of the cooking for the adults on our trips (the Boys do...

    MES 40 stopped working! Suggestions.......

    So this past Friday I smoked 2 boston butts and they ended up finishing around 10pm. The following day I was warming up my AMNPS and attempted to fire up the MES 40 and I noticed after about 10 minutes the Maverick and Temp gauge on the smoker was pinned at 86° and nothing was heating up...

    Recommendation on Instant Read Thermometer

    I currently have the ET-732 Maverick and think I need to get some new probes.  I'm not getting the best readings.  I'd like to know what other instant reads people have bought, liked, hated, would recommend and why. Thank you, Tony

    First Boneless Beef Rump Roast with Q-View!!!

    So after being very successful with smoking pork butts I finally decided to work my way up to a brisket.  I feel this was a good start.  I used a rub that Shoneyboy put out there.  It's a very basic rub I've also used on my pork butts (his recipe was similar to mine).  I fired the smoker up to...

    MES 40 NEW - Faulty Door - Make sure to check yours out !

    I bought this November 26, 2012 from a local Sam's Club.  When I got it home I put together the few parts that were required.  I noticed that the screws on the inside of the door that hold the black plastic on it were already cracked.  I called the next day and told Masterbuilt about it and they...

    Recommendations on how to clean inside of MES 40 and what to use?

    I have searched through a ton of threads and have read good and bads of what to use. Can one use an oven cleaner and then set the smoker to burn it off like our ovens? I know the smoker does not get as hot as an oven but it's time to clean the inside and I am at a loss here! I also have...

    How to get that Thin Blue Smoke (TBS)

    So the chicken and beans came out awesome this weekend on my first smoke in the MES 40.  I was able to get about 3.5 hrs out of the AMNPS which I only half filled with 1/3 hickory, 1/3 maple and 1/3 cherry pellets.  I put the AMNPS under the water tray which I removed spaced on the bottom left...
