    Anyone smoked any jalapenos?

    I want to make jalapeno infused tequila. Obviously all you need to do is put some jalapenos into a bottle of tequila and wait. But I figured it would be even tastier if you first smoked the jalapenos. So I'm ready to give it a try. Have any of you smoked jalapenos or other peppers before...

    Sous vide smoked ribs

    I've done this a couple of times and they came out very good. But I'm wondering what you folks' favorite methods are for sous vide and smoking ribs. I just found a vac bag of ribs with rub already applied, buried in my garage freezer the other day. And it has me wanting to cook them sous vide...

    Pulled Pork with Lotsa Q-View - Thanks to all of the members here!

    Howdy, all. I've done a couple of pulled-pork smokes before, but it's been quite a while, so I turned to the advice of all of the experts on here when I ran across some irresistible Pork Shoulders (Boston Butts) at the local Sam's Club and couldn't resist. Reading a lot of threads about...

    Smoke quality and smoke generation

    Howdy everyone. I've been messing with my MES 40 over the last couple of months, mainly to get reliable burning of pellets in my AMNPS inside of the smoker itself. I live at about 5300 feet elevation, and had been experiencing problems with the pellets going out mid-smoke, especially when the...

    Sous Vide baby back ribs

    A few months ago, I bought an inexpensive sous vide circulator/temperature controller so I cold try out sous vide recipes of all sorts.  It's been fantastic! The other day, I found some baby back ribs on sale, and got a pack with the idea of cooking them sous vide followed by smoking.  When I...

    A magnetic fan for making Jerky in the MES-40 - with Q-View

    I decided to make a batch of jerky based on the success I had a year or so ago making some using the recipe offered by Couger78 in this thread: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/138397/beef-jerky-ten-pounds-two-types-with-pics That came out great, and we all had a hankerin' for another batch...

    First serious attempt at cheese - MES 40 with AMNPS

    I've been itching to do a batch of smoked cheese for some time, and yesterday I was in Sam's club, and since some shredded sharp cheddar was on my list (so we could make some cheese bread in the old bread maker) I found myself looking at the cheese there. When I saw the large blocks of various...

    Gonna try some jerky!

    I've been thinking about trying to make some jerky for a while, so I came here to read up.  Based on that, I ordered some Cure #1 last week and that came in quickly. I was inspired by Kevin (Couger78)'s thread and recipes here...

    What should I do with this thing? Updated with Q-View.

    OK.  I was at Sam's, looking for some baby back ribs yesterday, but I didn't find any.  Not to go away empty-handed, I saw this, and couldn't resist. Now I'm wondering what the best way to smoke this pork loin might be. I've thought about unrolling it and stuffing it.  Or maybe putting on a...

    First picnic butt! Heavy on the Q View.

    Hi folks. I smoked my first picnic butt yesterday.  I'm pleased with how it came out. I did it very simply and to my wife and I's taste based on what we've kind of observed with the (small amount) of smoking I've done so far. I didn't brine it.  I just got it from the store, rinsed it off...

    Howdy from Wyoming.

    I'm fairly new to smoking. I got an inexpensive Brinkmann basic unit a few years ago and have had a lot of fun with it. Pardon the cell phone photo, and note the cheesy wind deflector - necessary if you live around here! The main problem with this unit is that it's obviously designed for...
