    MES40 heat issues

    My issue is that I have had two different control panels that read 45-60 degrees higher than the meat probe and my accutherm show.

    Brisket

    I bought a couple of whole packers a while back when they were $1.67lb and ground them up. They make great burgers and meatloaf. I will do it again if I catch them for the right price. Smoke it up William

    Not Enough Smoke Flavor in Brisket Cooked on MES

    As Dave stated, open the vent wide open. With the vent closed, you are not getting the air that is needed for the chips to smoke properly. Smoke it up William

    Brisket finishing early......

    Keep it on until it is probe tender in multiple places. Then pull it, wrap it up real good and put it in the ice chest. I have let them rest four hours plus more than once. Smoke it up William

    Mini WSM bad burn time

    What kind of charcoal are you using? I use KBB. How is the weather there? In cold weather, it has to burn faster to keep the temp up. I built mine using a jumbo Joe but on a really cold day (that defined as in the lower 30s here) I will only get about 5 hrs out of it unless I wrap it with a...

    Stuffing boudin

    Absolutely correct on this point. The first time I made boudin I tried to use the stuffing attachment on the grinder. It pretty much turn it I to paste. It was probably something I did wrong but it was a great excuse to order a 5# vertical stuffer the next day. Smoke it up William

    Stuffing boudin

    Chances are you are over boiling the meat. It could also be that you are using too small of a grinding plate.

    The best ribs I will ever smoke....EVER!!

    So I pulled these out of the freezer for tomorrow and even though I have never done beef ribs, I can promise you I will never enjoy a rack of ribs more than I will these. Two racks of beef backribs. And exactly how in the heck, you ask, can I predict that my first attempt at these will be the...
