    Had to try this! FROZEN RIBS???

    Wow is that great news for me! I have had several different MES smokers and a Traeger. Never could get the smoke ring on anything no matter the combination I tried. I still enjoyed most of my "mistakes".

    #chokepostoaksmoke

    My boss sent me on business trip to Kansas City, told me to go to Jack Stack and get the crown prime ribs. That was 10 years ago and got me into smoking. I smoke these whenever I can ever since. Yours look amazing!

    Rub Storage

    I usually just smoke for 2 of us and like it fresh so not filling up the smoker! If I filled the smoker everytime I would be stuck on 1 side of the door or the other.

    Rub Storage

    I also have a lid with holes drilled in it like a shaker top. I store it on top the same jar with a screw on ring. Lots of jar lids will fit the same size canning jars and you can drill them and just screw them on over your sealed jar.

    Rub Storage

    For me weekends are my smoking days. I usually mix up a batch of rub (Jeff's) that will last a few weeks. I know most of us have a vacuum sealer, so do yourself a favor and get the canning jar accessory. I mix my rub and put it in a canning jar then vacuum seal it. It stays fresh and if it does...

    MasterBuilt Gravity 560!

    I doubt I will be moving away from my pellet pooper anytime soon. I have a need for a new grill and this 560 looks like it will be what I'm looking for. Smoking and grilling are a bonus for me. Due to the crazy period in my life I actually have 3 places I like to have a smoker and grill at. #3...

    MasterBuilt Gravity 560!

    As an owner of several Masterbuilt electric smokers I have had very few issues after heavy use. I purchased a pellet pooper about 18 months ago and never been real satisfied with it. I was contemplating buying the Weber FireSmoke until I saw the price and many complaints about quality and mixed...

    Smoking Corn Chips, Cheetos, Pork Rines ect,

    I have used many combinations of chips, pretzels, fried cheetos, doritos and just about every snack type thing I can find. When I get them all combined how I want I throw in some of Jeff's rub mix for a smokey bbq flavor. Always a hit at parties so make a bunch.

    Poor mans brisket

    Looks fantastic. Chuck roast here is often less expensive than brisket. Not sure what drove the price of brisket so high other than competition to get it as tender as a good cut of meat.

    Retiring MES40 - Offset vs Traeger Pellet Smoker? (Or WSM??)

    I switched from a MES40 & MES30 about 7 months ago. I went with a Traeger. While somethings are better on the Traeger, I still like my MES smokers. I have not been able to get my wings the way I like them yet. The Traeger seems to go through a lot of pellets since that is it's source of heat...

    BBR attempt #4

    I did not wrap these. I have read both wrapped and unwrapped from the "experts". Just like when wife and I wanted kids, practice, practice, practice!

    BBR attempt #4

    So I never did Baby Back Ribs prior to getting my pellet pooper (Traeger). My other attempts missed the pictures, so today the wife was the camera operator. Preped them with yellow mustard and then Jeff"s Naked Rib Rub. Fired up the smoker to 225 and smoked for 4.25 hours. Then I put Sweet Baby...

    New smoker

    Welcome to the wonderful world of smoking. If I may be so bold as to suggest you purchase Jeff's Rub Recipes. They are not only simple but taste great. When you get creative they are easily modified. They also support this forum. I am no way associated with him other than the use of this forum...

    Pork Butt Rub Question?

    I have gone as far as vacuum sealing it over night with the rub on it. It turned out great, but not sure if its any better than a rubbing an hour before. Vacuum sealing should open up the cells of the butt a little?

    Gator Legs!

    Now you all know how I felt when visiting Custer State Park. Lot of Buffalo but not a wing to be seen!
