    Smoker upgrade... Kamado?

    I recently purchased a KJ Big Joe and have been very happy with it. I looked at the BGE and it was an easy decision to select the KJ Big Joe. The customer service and warranty seem to top notch.

    Dented MES30. Do I need to be worried?

    I ended up returning the damaged smoker and picked up a new one that wasn't damaged.

    1st Attempt with Baby Back Ribs and I have a few questions

    So I decided to try my luck with baby back ribs yesterday and they turned out ok and a little dry. I rubbed them down with Jeff's rub just before they went into the smoker (MES30). I smoked two racks of ribs cut into thirds (6 pieces total). Once the smoker was at 225, I added the ribs and set...

    Pecan Smoked Chicken Wings - Qview

    I got a newsletter from Jeff with the recipe for Pecan Smoked Chicken Wings and decided I need to try it. The prep work was fairly easy. I mixed together Jeff's rub and mixed it with the chicken. I used about 4lbs of chicken and 3/4 cup of rub and 1/3 cup of olive oil. I probably could have used...

    Question on temp

    I just tested the temps of my MES30 and digital display seemed to closely match my two thermometers in the smoker. I had one probe hanging up high and the other probe near the heat source. The one near the heat source was reading a lot higher compared to the one up high. I moved the one near the...

    Jeff's Rub Question

    Texas style is what I was making. The recipe I bought came with 2 rubs (Texas and naked rib rub) and the BBQ sauce. The recipe for the Pecan Smoked Chicken Wings calls for Jeff's rub. Should I assume that it was referring to the Naked Rib Rub? I compared both recipes and believe that he is...

    Jeff's Rub Question

    I purchased Jeff's rub and sauce last weekend. I received the email from him today for Pecan Smoked Chicken Wings. They looked so good and I want to try the recipe. Should the rub have a red tint once it is mixed? The pics he posted with the rub on the chicken in the email looked to have a red...

    My first Butt.... (Updated: The Butt is Done - Qview)

    The pork butt was very good, I'm not sure it was the best I ever had. It was juicy, but I think a finishing sauce would had added to the flavor. My wife and kids really enjoyed it. I used a local rub that one of our meat stores makes and sells. It was very good. Also, the bottom of the butt had...
