    Pulled pork dumplings?

    Has anyone smoked a pork shoulder or pork butt and made dumplings with it? I didn't realize a package I bought was a double pack so I will have tons and tons of pulled pork to experiment with.

    I'm thinking about picking up a Broil King Baron 500 Pellet Grill. Should a grab the Asurion 4 year warranty too?

    As the title states. I do have back issues so having someone come out to fix any issues for me would be a huge plus. I'm just not sure how easy Asurion is to deal with. As far as the grilol itself goes, I found a good deal on it, it has most of the features I want (just not the direct grill...

    Does anyone have the Char Griller 3001?

    I'm thinking about getting this grill with the side fire box.  I'm thinking about using the side fire box for smoke flavor only, relying on gas to control temps (cooking offset).  My other option would be to get the four burner gas grill (4001, I think), but would not have the space for a side...

    So I ended up with a Browning Smoke Vault

    I went to Gander Mountain today to pick up a Smoke Hollow smoker (after trying to return a dented up GOSM I got for Christmas to Walmart), but after seeing it I was a little worried that even the larger size would be a little too small for large racks of ribs and packer cut briskets. Then I saw...

    Has anyone converted an MES to propane?

    I'm thinking about doing this since I want to try propane (I'm tired of being tethered to an outlet and since the element on it no longer works...). Since the unit is so well insulated, I'm worried about not being able to keep the temps low and the plastic around the dooor which has already...

    Smoker Cover for GOSM Big Block?

    The GOSM Big Block dimensions 36"H x 24"W x 16"D (I'm not sure if that includes the legs or not -- if anyone knows, please speak up). So far, I've only seen three covers that will work, but none are ideal. The Smoke Vault cover doesn't have any of the features most higher quality covers have...

    Does anybody have both a Smoke Hollow LP and a GOSM?

    I've narrowed it down to one of these two units (Smoke Hollow 38 inch and the GOSM 43 inch) due to price and consumer happiness. I know about the heat issues with the Smoke Hollow, but a quick call to customer service seems to be all that's needed to correct the issue. The GOSM is bigger than...

    Smoke Hollow Smokers -- grease?

    I'm looking at the Smoke Hollow smoker, and one of the complaints I found was grease dripping out the front door. Although this is fairly common depending on how well your smoker is leveled, I took a closer look. Do these smokers have a grease tray or a drip bucket? I looked at the...

    Highest quality "cheap" smoker?

    My Masterbuilt Electric Smokehouse broke last week so I'm looking in to getting a new smoker. Before picking up the Masterbuilt, I had bought one of the original Camp Chef Smoke Vaults, but retunred it due to quality issues (the body was twisted, the feet weren't level with the ground, the door...

    Old school MES 40 VS 60 pounds of meat

    So I smoked about 60 pounds of meat overnight (2 packers, 1 flat, and two picnics). Although it eventually came within a few degrees, the MES 40 (old style) never reached the set temp and was much lower until this morning (after 10 hours). Now I sit here watching the temps drop lower and lower...

    ATTN MES Owners

    Don't forget to clean the temp sensor!! Hope I didn't figure this out to late.... In any case, I decided to attempt two briskets tonight (first packer cuts I've ever done). The MES warmed up fine, but the burner was working over time when I dropped 25 pounds of brisket into it, and never...

    Any Tips to Maximize Penetration?

    I cooked my first shoulder last weekend, but I think it could have been a little smokier (it was ok the next day, but the smoke flavor was weak right after pulling). I've noticed this on many things I've cooked. Are there any seceret methods to maximaize the amount of smoke...

    Honestly -- Electric VS Pellets

    For those that have much more experience with Q than I, is there a difference in taste between smoking in a MES and smoking in a pellet cooker (or a traditional stick burner or charcoal smoker for that matter)? I'm looking to either get an infrared grill for searing briskets (among other...

    Hello from PA

    I've been lurking (and occasionally posting) here for a while now and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm just getting in to BBQ and smoking, and bought the MES from Sams Club to get started. Thanks to the wealth of information on this forum, my results are generally OK and quickly improving...
