    Your thoughts on my next electric?

    Hi all, Long time no forum for me. Health’s been a problem, but now we’re ready to get back into it. I’ve had an MES 30 by Masterbuilt for years and have no complaints. It still works fine, but I’m wondering if I might like another style of electric more, like maybe a Bradley or something...

    JEFF'S REVISED OKIE SMOKIE TEXAS STYLE BRISKET & SMOKED MAC & CHEESE

    After a two year absence due to heart failure, I finally was able to get out the MES 30, in order to try Jeff's recipe for Texas style brisket. I liked this recipe, especially, the Texas style rub. Everything went fine, without a hitch. Given the opportunity, I'd follow the same plan for...

    QUESTION REGARDING CHIP LOADER IN MES

    Dont know if it's been asked, but I'm curious as to whether the AMNS pellets would work in the regular chip loader. Maybe with some regular chips? Anyone ever try it? Thanx, Fred:icon_question:

    Nice Laborday Weekend Chicken

    Smoked this ole bird on my MES 30, using the regular chip loader, vs the AMNPS and ended up with very good results. Used hickory chips at 225 - 240 for about 5 hours...also loaded 4 russet potatoes on the top shelf at the same time. If the truth be known, just give me one of them taters and...

    SUNDAY HICKORY SMOKED CSRS

    bone-in CSRs are hard to come by without ordering special in our area. Sometimes they can be found, but are mostly bone and no meat. I happened to be in, of all places, KMART the other day and these we're calling to me. Without a doubt, the nicest pack of these I've ever run across. Here...

    Finally a beautiful summer-like day, so we decided to spend our Easter next to the smoker loaded with a small leg of lamb.:grilling_smilie: Picked this little 3 pounder at our local market. All marinated up for an overnight rest. pulled at 130 IT with a beautiful crust. Well worth the wait...

    A Sunday chicken.

    Had a heck of a gallbladder week, but felt much better today and decided to try Jeff's rub on a big ole bird. Got to admit, I was somewhat disappointed in the rub, in that I was looking for some top secret ingredient like eye of newt or something. Didn't see what was gonna be the "wow" factor...

    FIRST CORNED BEEF SMOKE

    Got an 8lb, already corned brisket to do for St. Pattys' Day.  Although this will be more Roman than Irish by the time it's done, I'm anticipating some nice pastrami at the end of the day.  Anyone have any experience with any certain wood for corned beef?  I know there's a multitude of choices...

    SAVORY BACON

    We put up 15 lbs of bacon yesterday after a two week cure and 2 day airing out in the fridge. We like more of a savory style than sweet bacon and this turned out perfect. I normally use bay leaves and thyme in my cure recipe and decided to add juniper berries for the first time. Man am I glad...

    BIRTHDAY PRIME RIB

    smoked half a rib roast we had left from New Year day. This time, used my new Thermapen that I gave to myself for the occasion. Turned out the best yet for our tastes. Absolutely perfect. Was pleasantly surprised that my Maverick matched up on the money with the new Thermapen. Here's a look...

    THERMOWORKS THERMAPEN

    Just got my new Thermapen today and will be trying it out Sunday on my birthday prime rib. Going for a bit more medium this time and I believe the Thermapen will get me there more accurately. I must say that the unit could be sold at a much lower price, if they would scale back their promo...

    LOW & SLOW NEW YEAR PRIME

    I ordered a 5 rib from BJ's Club and was really ticked to see that they gave me "select", instead of "choice". They also charged $7 a pound. Some wholesale club. I can buy "select" all over town for $7 a pound. Apparently, they now only give "choice" if it's boneless. Oh, well, anyhow, I...

    SOME ADVICE REGARDING A PRIME RIB, PLEASE

    I made a mistake and ordered twice as much prime rib than we need. I've already prepped the whole thing for the smoker with a rub, etc. Think I could cut it in half and freeze the seasoned remainder for awhile, rather than cooking it all right now? Thanx, Fred. :help:

    PITMASTER BLEND FOR TURKEY?

    Anyone ever try the Pitmaster blend of pellets on turkey? I'm thinking of trying it tomorrow and wondering if I'll end up a hero or a zero.:biggrin: Would appreciate any thoughts or experience prior to takin' the leap. Thanks, Fred Just a footnote to this; I've been smoking our Thanksgiving...

    Thought I'd pass this along.

    Waiting for kickoff time a couple Sundays ago, I was channel surfing and ran across the following: they call it an "Oragami Butcherblock Cart. I was looking for some more space and went ahead and ordered it from THE HOME SHOPPING NETWORK. $99 delivered. I was really surprised at how nice the...
