    newbie here from alabama with few question about the masterbuilt 40" smoker

    I have the MES 40 with the window and I love it. I clean the window with a razor blade, takes about a minute to do. The window breaking never crossed my mind. It seems pretty solid. You would have to hit it pretty hard to break it. I've never had a problem with it not smoking.

    ham glaze / rub question, off topic ribs w/ qview.

    This is the glaze I use on my hams and it is awesome. 2 cups brown sugar, 2 cups honey, and a stick of butter. Heat those together and glaze the ham about every 30-45 minutes.

    51.5 pounds of pork belly

    Thanks for the help. I'm gonna cure it all today and tomorrow and then smoke it when the time comes. I would happily send you some if I could. I can get this pork belly for $1.69/pound anytime, the problem is I have to buy it by the case. I need to find someone to split it with.

    51.5 pounds of pork belly

    I usually fry up a pound every weekend for breakfast. But I have a feeling that we'll be eating more bacon than usual.

    51.5 pounds of pork belly

    Picked up 51.5 pounds of pork belly today for $1.69/pound. It's a lot of meat but I couldn't pass it up. It was all or nothing. Is it better to freeze it raw and pull what I need or cure, smoke, freeze and pull what I need.
