    Smoked Tri-Tip

    I don't post very often, usually so busy getting everything prepared. Decided to make a conscious effort to take pics. Tried Jeff's Coffee Brine recipe, and I have to say I'll be doing it again in the future. Here is the Tri-Tip after marinating 3hrs. Also smoked some Russet & Sweet potatoes...

    Reheating pork butt

    After pulling my pork butts, I vacu-seal them into meal portions. Then when I want to reheat, I toss the package into a pot of boiling water. I take em out after 10-15 mins. I'm not a big fan of microwaves.

    First smoke EVER next week. Suggestions?

    My Dad recently bought and Horizon, I got to play around with it. I liked it a lot but you are constantly monitoring your temps and adjusting the damper.

    Char broil electric not smoking, HELP!

    I know with my MES there wasn't a whole lot of fine tuning. Everything I smoked was in the 225 degree range, sometimes that was with the rheostat set at half-way to all the way max out. You should be getting smoke even at 165 degrees. What are you using for chips? Are you presoaking them?

    Char broil electric not smoking, HELP!

    I have the MES 30 which looks real similar to what yours looks like. I never had issues with not getting it to smoke. Is there a drain hole at the bottom of your smoker? Hate for you to start drilling holes into it if you don't have to. What does the temp gauge read, when you have been trying to...

    First attempt at making Fatties

    I started with mixing some venison sausage with some wild hog sausage. One fattie got bell pepper, onion, jalepeno, and pepper jack cheese. The second fattie received poblano peppers, chorizo, and pepper jack and cheddar cheese. Smoked at 225 until I reached 165 IT. I really liked how the...

    First time smoking Babyback ribs

    Well I followed the 2-2-1 method, holding temp at 225 degrees. The result was a little dry, but still tasty. The bones came right off the meat. I did not put BBQ sauce on them in the last hour, cause I wanted to get the full flavor of the rub. Going forward I think I will try a modification on...

    First time smoking Babyback ribs

    I have a bottom of the line Masterbuilt 30. I am using Jeffs dry rub recipe on two racks of ribs. I had to cut the racks in two to fit them in the smoker. I am planning on doing the 2-2-1 method. The question I have is this, because of me cutting the rack in half will this affect the 2-2-1...

    Been lurking for a while here, looking for ideas on a good smoker to purchase. I decided on a Masterbuilt 30" electric smoker. I am totally new to the whole idea of smoking, so I will be asking a lot of questions. I like to hunt and fish, and am also interested in making my own sausages.
