    Veggie night with smoked cabbage

    I have cooked it just the way it is here, and we love it. How did you do the steaks? Would like to try that.

    Arroz Mexicana, This is the Classic Mexican Rice

    I make something very similar to this - but if I am feeling adventurous, I start by putting the rice in the smoker for a couple of hours on a grill mat. You can't believe the taste.

    New Char-Broil Kamander

    Thanks guys - I appreciate it. At the price I couldn't pass it up, and from what I read it works well. It's not a BGE, but works well. We shall see - LOL.

    New Char-Broil Kamander

    I have a Bandera replica, a MES30, and a MES40 with BT - and after this weekend I am the proud owner of a Char-Broil Kamander. I went to Aldi in Stillwater, OK - and they had evidently found one in the back. For $79 I couldn't not buy it! Even my wife agreed. So - after I put it together...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Oklahoma - not a place known for not having lack of oxygen in he air.  If I was in Colorado - I could see it.  This is driving me nuts.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I never used it in my old one - I didn't buy it until I got the new one.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    On a separate note - has anybody hacked the bluetooth on this - or modified it?  Why they didn't use WiFi I don't know, much better range.  Bluetooth is 30' with class 2 - and that sucks.  A wall cuts that to about 10'.  It is the one failure I see on this smoker.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    My AMNPS just doesn't seem to stay lit.  I have had my Bluetooth since last Christmas, and have reverted to chips.  I have it on the bottom left side (below the racks) - no water ever, I have even taken the chip loader out.  Drives me crazy.  I like to use my bottom rack for things I want...

    First Turkey-Pics included

    I have been lurking here for years, finally joined a few years ago - and don't post often.  I subscribe to the newletter, and read it everytime.  Then I see "The" Jeff replying to my post.  Funny thing is I see Pretty Water.  Now if you aren't from Creek County you have no idea where that is -...

    First Turkey-Pics included

    Did my first turkey today in the MES.  I have been smoking meats for years, and I must say I love that thing for poultry or things that really don't need as much smoke. Anyway - I let the wife make the brine, and OMG I hope she can remember what all she put in it.  I know one thing was pickling...
