    8 butts in a 40 inch MES

    I had thought about the chill and reheat method, but Idon't know what we will have to reheat with. I forget to mention I do have a Uds I just completed, but I haven't smoked on it yet. So I guess I could split them up and do 4 on each. So that might be my best option although I will have to use...

    How hot do they get

    Well my dad had a 55 gallon closed head drum that had oil in it. I was looking and looks like if I cut the top off right below the top ring the Weber lid will fit perfect. Then A good burnout is going to take place maybe a pallet or two should get it cleaned up. I also think I will go with some...

    How hot do they get

    I have been thinking about a UDS. I just bought the MES, but the thought of building my own smoker is just plain cool. My dad has a Weber 22.5 that has rusted out, but the lid and grates are good to go. Found a guy that has food grade barrels for 10 bucks. So I think I would be good to go pretty...

    First Brisket when to start

    Going to be smoking my first Brisket a 7lb flat from Sams. I put a good coating of Jeff's rub on last night. Should I start tonight around 1am or so or wait until the morning early and start? Going to try and slice it and serve with twice baked taters and bread.

    First butt on the MES

    Well I pulled them both at 180 and let them rest for about 30 minutes. I know I should have gone to 200, but everybody was starving. It was pretty chewy and I wasn't real crazy about the rub I used. Everybody seemed to enjoy it though, but to me it wasn't up to par. Oh well I guess there is...
