I have a kitchen scale. Supposed to be very accurate according to other people. Recently my wife came home with a 2# tri-tip. I had the scale out, and weighed it. Either the store ripped us off or my scale was inaccurate. It weighed about 1.5#. I'm getting ready to make...
My friends often give me smoking related presents. They mean well and I thank them knowing I'll never use the gift (usually rub which is too salty for my taste).
This year I received some bourbon barrel staves. I run my MES-40 in a dual configuration. For long smokes I set up the mailbox and...
In a recent thread someone asked how long meat would hold temperature when resting. I smoked a brisket Friday night / Saturday and have sort of a picture.
The overall graph looks like this:
in the smoker about 2340 @ 225. Brisket on 3rd rack. Veggies in 1/2 pan on 4th rack.
Chamber probe...
I recently purchased a MES-40 Model 20070512 from Amazon.com I mainly smoke pork butt, ribs, and brisket at 225F. My experience has been the smoker runs 25 Deg F less than the setpoint.
I use an iGrill with two probes. I checked the probes in boiling water. I live at 3000'. Probe 1 read 206...
Shot my mouth off and my son is taking my MES-30.
I've been reading the MES-40 threads.
1. I've calibrated my thermometers for profiling the new MES-40 when it arrives.
2. I'm planning to pull the water pan. I've never used the one in the MES-30, so I shouldn't miss it.

We've found a bean recipe we love to smoke: http://www.bbqu.net/recipes/305_2.html We like to smoke this for 2 hours, then finish in a 350 oven to reduce the liquid.
It completely fills a standard 9x13x2 cake pan. I started using an aluminum pan after the foil pan I was using collapsed and I...
So there I was walking past the meat counter and I heard ... "Hey Don. Wouldn't you like to smoke something for Memorial Day?" I spun around, but didn't see anyone. Then "Hey, stupid, down here. I'm a pork roast." Surely I'm not the only who hears things like this? Any way ... it looks like a...
I decided it was time to do a brisket, and what better day to get up at 3:30 AM to get started than Mother's Day? After reading the forums, and Jeff's newsletter on brisket http://www.smoking-meat.com/may-3-2012-smoked-brisket-and-burnt-ends.html I decided to take a minimalist approach and...
Somehow I never manage to post my poultry smokes. Only 3 so far. I can't wait until I plan far enough ahead (12 hours) to try brining. But wrapping chicken in bacon, that makes a lot of sense and doesn't take long.
A couple weeks ago I fixed this for my son, my future-daughter-in-law, and their...
I used baby back ribs for my first smoke with my MES-30. I chose to split the 3 racks in half so if I flubbed the smoke, I wouldn't have to eat too much bad food, and half the ribs could be used for redemption.
I over smoked the ribs. I watched some of the MES youtube videos prior to smoking...
We're having family from the Piedmont region of NC visit this week. I'm going to smoke a butt to make pulled pork. Details:
I'd like this ready for supper on Monday, 5 - 6 PM.
MES 30 using hickory chips.
1 - butt 8 pounds @ 60-90 min/lb about 10 hours @ 225F. I'm guessing since it's a...
and in a Masterbuilt 30. My chef son and I were smoking tasso ham in his mother's propane grill. I couldn't convince her hickory smoke wouldn't hurt a stainless steel grill. My own smoker resolves the issue.
Just started smoking general food. I keep a journal of date, meat, rub, (no injections...
