    I have to say that a pressure cooker really tenderizes the meat and the smoke is definitely adds a finishing touch to it. Hope all had a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

    Well the verdict is in, my brisket came excellent! Pressure cooked in an old style pressure cooker for 1 hour, then let it cool on it's own. Smoked with Jack Daniel whisky chips, honoring St. Patrick for 2 hours at 135° with smoke supplied via MES slow smoker attachment and finished off on...

    Is this possible?

    I'm starting to think if I pressure cook last that will infuse the smoke into the brisket. I may try that on another brisket. I really only want to smoke the meat for maybe an hour or two after the cooker and maybe finish it off on the grill for a few minutes to sear harden a bark to the...

    I just got a slow smoker attachment for my 40" MES. I'm coooking a corned beef brisket in a pressure cooker today. Can I put it in the smoker say at about 135° and run the slow smoker for a couple of hours to add a smoke flavor to it?

    Can't Hit Internal Temp

    I'm hearing much what you have said here but as far as water, I started out with a cup and a half in my water pan and never added any more. When my smoke was finished I noticed no water in the pan, completely dry. So as far as the moisture part I don't think that was part of my problem. I did...

    Can't Hit Internal Temp

    I only opened the door one time to check with a 2nd therometer to make sure I was getting an accurate reading with the themp probe I was using. As far as adding wood chips I used the wood chip shut on the side of my MES.

    I started at around 40° in the morning then later that night and into the next morning at around 5 am it dropped to around 30°.

    Can't Hit Internal Temp

    I'm not familiar with sous vide. When I finish my smoke I do cold bath for 5 minutes and let the kielbasa hang at room temp to bloom for an hour before going into the fridge. What is the internal temp you take yours to?

    Maybe it's me but how long should it take to smoke 15 pounds of kielbasa in a 40" MES? 19 hours seemed long to me.

    I used 2 seperate therometers and got the same exact reading.

    Can't Hit Internal Temp

    I also had the kielbasa hang in the smoker for one hour at 100° prior to adding water, wood chips and raising the temp to 160°. I thnk with all things considered that I did the initial internal temp did not keep me from hitting the internal temp of 152°. I finally raised the temp to 200° to...

    Ywo separate therometers the same reading. The kielbasa was out of the fridge for 2 hours in room temp prir to going in smoker. I'm now 18 hours in the smoker at 144° internal with smoker set at 190°.

    Can't Hit Internal Temp

    I'm doing my first Venison Kielbasa smoke in my new 40" MES. I started out at 160° for 12 hours and only hit 125° internal temp. I really thought I'd be at 140° by that time or a little higher. I'm not at 180° and the internal temp is only at 131°. Before anyone asks, I have used another temp...

    Legs or no Legs?

    Considering heat rises the concrete may only steal heat from the smoker was my thinking. I run a woodstove and under the stove is cool as a cucumber.

    I agree with you on the MB covers. They're crap. I got this one off Amazon and it is heavy duty and works great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BFCJZTBT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

    Actually a warm wet paper towel when the smoker is finished will clean the glass with the greatest of ease. Top Secret info, now I'll have to kill you :emoji_laughing:
