    How many rack of ribs?

    After I cut them in half I was able to get all 5 racks to fit. They were a hit and the family was full and happy. Thanks for the advice all.

    How many rack of ribs?

    Do they have about the same cooking time if stacked like that, or should I plan for a bit longer?

    How many rack of ribs?

    On my other smoker (cheap gas model) I would cut the racks in half and lay them flat.  I could easily get 4 racks (one rack per grate), but I think I could have fit more.  I was just curious as to how many could fit, and not have a big impact on the final product.   The reason I ask is:  I have...

    How many rack of ribs?

    I have a question for all you MES 30 users.  I just bought a new MES 30 (the stainless steel model with window).  I'm curious as to how many racks of baby back ribs can be smoked at one time?  What say you?!

    Master Forge gas smoker questions

    I was lucky enough to stumble across this forum before I ruined a beautiful piece of meat due to cooking at too high of a temp.  I use two after market thermometers inside my chamber.  One is an analog oven thermometer and the other is is attached to my duel probe Maverick.  When the chamber is...

    Master Forge gas smoker questions

    Oh yeah much better, and the result was better this time.  Last time, I used the water pan the entire smoke and the pork was good, but a little dry.  This time I only had water in the pan for the first couple of hours.  Like other have mentioned, I guess the bark seals in the tender, juicy goodness.

    Master Forge gas smoker questions

    Well between the wife giving me the evil eye because she was hungry, and the thunderstorm that started, I pulled the pork shoulder off the smoker after 11 1/2 hours.  The IT was 190.  I let it rest in a cooler for an hour.  It pulled pretty easy, with some just falling apart, and some requiring...

    Hey fellow Spartan fan.  I grew up in Lansing!  I drive my wife nuts with all the green and white I have around the house.  I even named my company after the Spartans

    4.18 lbs of boneless pork shoulder.  I've been keeping the door closed :)  I've got a foil pan to catch drippings and I've a sand pan in there.  158 IT @ 5 hours.  Time wise this smoke seems to be progressing nicely.

    Master Forge gas smoker questions

    Hey guys, thanks for the replies: IT going in has been in the 40's.  A little reading has me thinking, closer to room temp would be better before going on the smoker.  Until today I kept water in the pan for the whole smoke because I thought the meat would dry out without it.  But I ran across...

    Master Forge gas smoker questions

    Thanks for the reply Dutch! While i've done 2 small briskets and 1 pork shoulder.  Each one of those smokes took 4 hours per pound.  Something about that just doesn't seem right based on what I've read since I've been lurking on these forums.  I'm just trying to figure our if 4 hours per pound...

    Master Forge gas smoker questions

    I have a Master Forge Double Door propane smoker.  It’s the $150 one from Lowes.  It’s my first smoker and I didn’t want to drop a lot of cash on something if I wasn’t going to use it:  I’ve used it almost every weekend since I bought it!  I have a couple of questions I’d like to get some input...

    Howdy all!  My name is Dave.  I live in north central, AR.  I started smoking meat a few months ago, when I was finally able to talk the wife into letting me buy a smoker.  I ended up with a Master Forge double door propane smoker.  Thanks to this site I’ve had some great success smoking stuff...
