    Smoked Pork Loin with Mahogany Sauce

    I cooked a pork loin today using this recipe. Man, it turned out fantastic. The sauce just set it all off. I suggest this for any level of experience.

    MES 30 Electrical Short

    Two weeks ago as I made a bunch of ABT's, I stepped out to warm up my MES 30. I came back in and grabbed an aluminum pan that I needed to mold to fit the bottom as my drip pan.
