    Boston Butt on new MES 40 Q-View

    Thanks all for the tips, can definitely stand to tweak my methods a bit. I ended up picking up another three butts on sale, so will have plenty of practice. Next time I believe I'll keep more fat on, and see how that goes. The original plan was to go to 200, but after being four hours late the...

    Boston Butt on new MES 40 Q-View

    13 hours later and it hit 188, so I pulled it and figured the carryover would be enough for 190. We were supposed to eat four hours ago (woops). I messed up and put my temp probe in way too early, a fountain of juice came out. It was a bit dry but everyone said flavor was spot on. I kept the...

    Boston Butt on new MES 40 Q-View

    Haven't had a chance to post, but finally pulled the trigger on the 40" bluetooth MES at Sams club last weekend. Had some people over, smoked some Johnsonville brats, baked beans, and some boneless skinless chicken breasts. No pics due to the amount of suds flowing and all the company, but the...

    Found a MES on clearance

    Thanks for the responses guys, very helpful information. I ended up not pulling the trigger on it, started looking at the 40" electric model, but it's nearly double the price, so I'll probably stick with a 30 for now, that way I can still have room left in the budget for some qmatz, amnps, and...

    Smoked Tialpia on Little Chief

    I rested them for a few days in the fridge, they did soften up quite a bit. Took some to work and they didn't last long. Used the rest for dip, flavor was great, consistency was a bit off, still great with crackers and cheese.

    Smoked Tialpia on Little Chief

    Pulled the fillets after five hours. It got dark on me and the flashlight ran out of batteries, they ended up cooking for about an hour too long. Still pretty tasty, not quite like jerky. Rib sections got way overdone, almost crunchy, so I'll trim them off for dog treats. Had a few hot off the...

    Smoked Tialpia on Little Chief

    Going on 3hrs now and getting close to done, The tilapia I purchased were frozen, will definitely cook thoroughly. I'm not a fan of using any type of fish I don't catch myself, but my fishing buddies have either moved off or been way to busy to go. Trout season's almost over here now, and I've...

    Smoked Tialpia on Little Chief

    My chief has smoked loads of jerky and whole trout. First time trying fillets, really looking forward to some fish dip. Sprayed racks with pam, arranged fillets with rib section farthest from the outside to hopefully balance cooking out a bit. Took two hours to get a pellicle, slightly tacky...
