    Double Header - Butt and Brisket

    Nothing like a little R&R with B&B (butt & brisket)! Have family in town so I ran a 5lb butt with 4lb brisket (Sorry for a little beef content in the Pork forum, but the butt was 56% of my TMC [total meat content] so therefore this qualifies as a majority Pork related post! haha). Thanks to...

    Masterbuilt CSK - Wood chips sticking in top of tube

    So I've seen a few people post that the wood chips can stick in the top of the tube of the CSK. I too am having this issue and have just been taking a skewer and kind of poking the chips down off the tube. I have to do this every 1.5-2 hours or so or else smoke gets extremely light. I haven't...

    First Brisket - Semi Fail.....

    Started with an 8 LBer. Cut in half since I was only cooking for 3 of us (plus leftovers). Scored fat. Coffee rub. Put in fridge for about 8 hours. Took out 1 hour before smoking. Dry Rub - (basically my pork rub with coffee, cocoa, and a little more salt since I didn't brine the beef). 2 Tbsp...

It's about a 2.5" thick flat. Reading through older posts, this seems like a realllllly long time. I had a 3lb butt take 10...

    My first Butt - And it didn't stink!!

    So I went with a 4lb butt for my third smoking session. Only feeding 3 of us for the week so didn't need anything bigger really. I did a little research and planned as follows: cider vinegar/juice brine, rub (pieced together a recipe) at set overnight, start at 225F and planned pull at 195F IT...

    Noob in FL

    Hey all! I'm down in south Florida. I used my last fishing trip (caught some King Mackerel) as an excuse to go buy a smoker. Lowe's had the MES30 on clearance so picked that up for $200. I also added the "Cold" Smoking Unit attachment. So far I have smoked some fish and a rack of ribs. Trying my...

    First time Smoking - Kingfish and the resulting dip...

    I was out deep sea fishing and we hauled in a few smoker King Mackerel. Normally I either release the kings or give them away since I never found a good way to prepare them outside of smoking. I decided I'll keep one and it would give me an excuse to go buy a smoker. So I went and picked up a...
