First brisket on tonight w/Q-view
I bought a 8.5 lb flat at Sam's today and it's in the smoker now. It went in about 11:30. I went to get it yesterday, but they were sold out. The butcher told me the truck was coming in last night and they would have some in today. So, no rub/wrap/rest overnight in the fridge. I found a new... -
Pork butts again- with Q-view
Since they turned out so well last week, I'm smoking 2 more pork butts this weekend for pulled pork. I had some of SFQ's finishing sauce left from last weekend, so I didn't want to let it go to waste... No prep shots, but Thursday they were rubbed in yellow mustard and grill mates pork rub... -
Pork butts in progress with Q-View
Put them on at 11pm last night in my MES at 225. First time using my new AMNS with hickory. Everything was fine and smoking when I went to bed about 1am. Woke up at 6 and inserted my probes, and had 155 and 156, but my AMNS had quit on me. Todd warned me to do a test run, but I didn't have time... -
Anyone not foil pork butts?
I got my AMNS from Todd today and have it in the smoker now getting seasoned. I'm going to smoke 2 butts for pulled pork for a get together on Saturday. They are about 7-8 pounds. My plan is to put them on about midnight with the AMNS. Depending on where they are when I get up will determine if... -

Practice turkey, a lot of things going on
I have smoked turkey breasts, but never a whole turkey. We picked up several for .49 per pound, and I'm practicing on one this weekend. I brined for 26 hours using Tip's brine, rinsed well, and patted dry. I tried to used his marinade and inject after brining, but it was a mess. I started a... -
Tip's Marinade, Practice Turkey
I have a "practice" turkey that I'm going to smoke this weekend. I soaked it in Tip's brine for 26 hours, rinsed, and patted dry. This brine is delicious. I have smoked several turkeys, but never injected one, so I thought I would give this one a try and see if I liked it. I melted 2 TBS of... -

Smoking just a turkey breast, questions
I'll be smoking 2 breasts only for Thanksgiving, and have a couple of questions. Should I brine them like I would a whole turkey? If so, since it's just the breast, should I reduce the brine time? I know to cook by temp, not time, but I need a "guesstimate" on time as I don't want them to be... -

MES control panel problems
My MES control panel is acting weird. It will beep about 5 times, and looks like "FAAF" on the screen. When I push the temp button, it just beeps. I looked in the manual, and it says if there is an error with the control panel to unplug it for 10 seconds and plug it back in to reset the panel...- voldaddy

2 dumb questions for ribs...
Okay, I know there's no such thing as a dumb question, just dumb people with questions. Here's my 2 for the day: 1.) When smoking ribs, do you put the meat side up or down? I usually put them in the MES meat-side up, bones facing down. It seems like meat-side down would get more smoke on the... -

Well, I posted in another thread that I bought some baby backs today for $1.99/lb, and was anxious to smoke some, so no overnight seasoning. I put salt and pepper on them, smoked doing 2-2-1, and put bbq sauce on for the last hour. Well, they were good, but were nowhere near fall off the bone... -
Rushed smoke-baby backs
I went to the Food Lion this morning and they had baby backs on for $1.99/lb, so I bought all they had, around 13 packs. I know from vast reading here the preferred way is to rub them the night before, wrap in saran wrap, and fridge them overnight. I couldn't stand the thought of not being able... -

Wow. This is my 2nd smoke, with the frst being 2 fatties. I bought a 4 lb flat last week. I started soaking it Saturday morning around 8 AM, with plans on smoking it around noon.
