    Smoking onions

    Piney and Oldschool: great suggestions. Never heard is the baking soda trick but will have to try it. jeff's newsletter today had a great example of what I'm trying to accomplish. I think if I do a combination of these techniques, I'll get what I'm liking for. Nobound: man you're making me...

    Smoking onions

    Nobound, I've seen recipes where you put an onion in a foil pouch and grill it with butter, but I thought I need to take it a step further. Just can't figure out how to expose it to the smoke and keeep the butter on it. The Chuckie cook sounds very good. Thanks.

    Size of exhaust in lid

    I I've seen a lot of talk aboutt the air inlet ports, size, construction, etc., but not a lot about the exhaust. I'm helping a friend build a UDS and so far, we've used a 55 GAL drum and have 4 air inlet pipes, 24 in high. 2 are 1" and the other two are 3/4" dia pipe. Is a 2" dia hole big...

    Beef Short Ribs (hopefully with Q-View)

    Thanks, guys. You're right, Smokin', got to make her happy. Actually, she is my best critic. Mike, they tasted good too (as you can see from the last pic). We only went through about half of it. Guess what's for supper tonight!

    Beef Short Ribs (hopefully with Q-View)

    One of the biggest challenges I have had in grillin' and smokin' has been doing short ribs right.  I found some at the local Food Lion store recently so I bought 4 lbs to give it another shot.   I ran across a recipe for short ribs in one the on-line recipe sites that sounded pretty good and...

    Cajun Injector XL electric smoke

    Well, after several attempts while cooking, I finally ran a dry run with the AMNPS yesterday. I took the exhaust baffle out of the side of the MES 30, replaced it with a 3" elbow topped by a 3"x24" pipe. Pulled the chip loader out as well as the chip tray, cranked up the cooker to 265, loaded...

    Cajun Injector XL electric smoke

    OK, guys. You talked me into it. I settled for a MES30, Bass Pro has them on sale for $199 (no window). Seasoned it today for a cooking tomorrow. Thanks everyone for their comments. They were very helpful.

    Cajun Injector XL electric smoke

    Dave, didn't make sense to me either but singled puff the reviews I read said you can't buy a replacement and have to can these whole unit if it goes out. That was on the smaller units, could not find anything on the XL.

    Cajun Injector XL electric smoke

    BD, thanks for the insight. I know other have been happy with theirs too, but these newer models of the MES seem to have their own problems, especially when you use the AMPS Wirth the pellets. I hate to pay that much for any cooker then have to modify it before I use it.
