    Kamado Joe Classic for $749 - too good to pass up??

    i have been debating on whether or not to pick up a Kamado Joe classic for the new, and what seems to be a fantastic deal at $749. I’ve been smoking for about five years now, and have began with an MES 30, that is mostly used just for large parties as an overflow smoker. I graduated to a WSM...

    Smoked Chicken Legs

    Seasoned up a few lbs of chicken legs with some Montreal chicken seasoning, and threw them on the smoker. Finished them off with some Trader Joe's Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce. I did them on my WSM without the water bowl. Lit about a 2/3 full chimney of charcoal an put a few chunks of apple on...

    Got a 7lb pork butt on the smoker bright and early this morning. Got things going around 5 AM. Planning on doing a tri tip later on today to go along with it. And also some bacon wrapped jalapeños for an appetizer.

    Why can't I find a tri-tip?

    I live in southwestern PA, about a half hour north east of Pittsburgh. I have looked for a tri-tip at a few of the local grocery stores, and Sam's. When I ask for a tri-tip, the butchers look at me like I'm speaking another language. Does this cut of meat go by another name?

    Smoked Wings on my brand new WSM!!

    Well, my WSM showed up late last Friday, which unfortunately kept me from firing it up until Saturday. But let me tell you, it was worth the wait!! I spent last year learning how to smoke on an MES, unfortunately, it ended up being more like an outdoor oven than a smoker. This year, I was...

    First time smoking over fire...can you help me decide?

    So here's my situation. I currently have a second generation MES 30, and have prepared some tasty BBQ on it. However, I think that it's operates more like an outdoor oven than an actual smoker. I have tried the cold smoker attachment (which Masterbuilt provided at no cost since I was having...

    Chicken wings on MES 30

    Today I smoked 21 chicken wings on my MES 30. I used a mix of apple and hickory chips. Two of the five who ate them told me they were the best wings that they ever had. I used a BW3 rub (Desert Heat) on a third of them. And some rub my dad had on the rest. I brushed around half of them with...
