    My best Brisket ever!

    So I changed a few things, normally I run my Brisket up to 200 degrees.  This one I held at 185, but I smoked it for 8 hours in my MES, keep it in there for another 8 hours, and then pulled it from the MES.  I transferred it to a foil pan, and place foil over the top.  I placed it in my oven and...

    What do I buy for my MES?

    Only way I can see doing this is with a PID and custom code.  Is there one on the open market that is plug and play, not that I know of.  But there are several on this board that have done PID controls on the MES. MES Mod Thread...

    Flour ?

    What about smoking flour for a Roux?  Most of the good gumbos have a great smoky flavor.  So I am thinking of smoking everything then combining it in a traditional manner.  So I would smoke my chicken, my shrimp, my sausage and flour.  And then add it all back in once I have it all prepped.

    Question for MES Users!!

    I clean the racks, cover the tray and pan in foil.  Also for something big and just looks bad, I will wipe it down while the smoker is semi hot, 120-140 degrees, fat still moves at that point.  I just use a damp cloth and fast hands.  Other than that I look at it as a work in  progress, its like...

    Jambalaya over an open fire with q view

    I agree with eman, prep first then cook, better yet get a prep person and a dishwasher, that way you only have to do the cooking.  Nice looking Jambalaya, I need to try that, and quite hoping for some of my Cajun friends to cook it up.  Seems they eat more of my Q, than I eat of their wonders...

    First Fatty (First Real Smoke actually) with side dish... Q-View

    Wow nice way to jump in and get your feet wet.  No solution for the addiction except to smoke more.  LOL, driving in this morning, I noticed my hands still smell of the pork butt and bark that I pulled last night.  After a weekend full of smoking I think my hands now are smoked also.  But how a...
