    Bird done early in smoker

    Well strangely I re-probed the turkey and the temp. dropped 10 degrees and stayed constant...so I had s but more time than I what I initially was thinking I had. This isn't the first time this has happened. At any rate I did wrap and rest...for about 1/2 hour. Folks really liked the smoked...

    Looks like my Turkey is gonna be done a couple hours early. Any suggestions on how best to rest it until the gathering is ready to eat?

    Brine for 2 Turkeys

    Thanks for the feedback...that all makes good sense.  My wife is also a "super-taster" and highly critical...tough critic I married...only makes me a better cook. I will be looking for fresh turkey's for sure!

    Brine for 2 Turkeys

    I have a simple question. I'm going to be preparing 2 turkeys this year...one at approx 16 lbs. and one closer to 12 lbs. my question is should I double up on brine recipe or stick with the standard amount? I'll be putting the two birds in one cooler. My fear is if I double the brine...

    First Brisket in the MES

    Couldn't agree more with you on all accounts. Heck, maybe I'll just leave the plywood long in front to catch those inevitable drippings. 128077127995

    First Brisket in the MES

    It took 9 hrs to get IT to 185 F. Really was not planning on it taking that long, but now I know. Wanted to leave it in to get to 195, but due to plans had to take it out at 185. Had a "stall" at 155-160...took forever. Despite it all, it genuinely turned out awesome. The plywood is just...

    First Brisket in the MES

    Okay, made the mailbox mod to my MES today and picked up a nice quality 4.5 lb. brisket. This will be a first on both accounts for the mod and brisket. I'm guessing if I want to have the brisket "eat ready" by noon tomorrow...being that it's only 4.5 lbs. I should start smoking around 6:00...

    First Brisket in the MES

    I typically get all of my meat at a local butchery http://www.butcherymeats.com/#qualityservice ....but at $12.99/lb. for brisket, don't think I'm gonna come swinging out of the gates paying that much for MY FIRST TRY AT SMOKING A BRISKET.  However, I am sold that High Quality Meats are worth...

    First Brisket in the MES

    Have not attempted a butt yet...typically tri tip, ribs, and whole chicken. I've read about tenting the AMNPS with tin foils to prevent extinguishing it from the drippings. Where do you place it in the smoker? Do you use water when smoking brisket or no water?

    First Brisket in the MES

    I have a 30" MES. Have not decided on a packer or flat as of yet. Have zero experience in trimming, so a bit uneasy about how to go about that. Have you had experience with both? Preferences? Thanks for the heads up on the AMNPS!
