    MES 40'---What's a good price on a used model?

    I'm looking at a used SS 40' MES. Anyone have an opinion on what a good fair price might be? A friend of mine is selling his. It's in decent shape from what I've seen. Any opinions? Thanks J-

    Linden tree wood...

    Can this be used for smoking? I didn't see anything posted here about it. I read up on it and it said that the wood is light but strong and the fruit from the linden tree can bee used in as tea. Anyone have comments? Thanks! J-

    Started my UDS project w/build-view

    I got started on my UDS project this week. I bought 2 barrels so this first one is a trial run. I'm pretty much just shooting from the hip using ideas from things I've seen here and elsewhere. Thanks a lot to those who have posted their builds for the great info. Here we go: Here are a...

    Got my barrels!!!

    Yay! My barrels are here...wound up being $5 a piece and $10 for delivery. Not bad IMO. I can't wait to burn them out and start my project! I do have a question that I haven't really seen addressed in my searches. What kind of paint can I use on the outside? I'm assuming it has to be a...

    Another UDS question

    If it's a food grade barrel is there still a need to do a 'burn out'? Do I need to burn the outside paint off? Thanks for your help. I'm looking forward to this build! J-

    How much would you pay for a steel drum?

    I want to build a drum smoker. They look really cool and I think it would be a lot of fun. Here's my dilemma: There is a guy about 30 mins. away who is selling used barrels for $5. Yeah, really good deal IMO. The problem is I don't have a way to haul it and the one person I know with a...

    Trying my hand at Salmon...Q-view to come...

    Gonna give salmon a try for dinner. Brined it for about 4 hours, made some of Dutch's sauce (had to modify it as I didn't have some of the ingredients), and have had it smoking for the last hour/hour and a half at about 190. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll turn out. Good smoke to...

    Throwin' on a smoke

    Got up and decided to smoke today, but was totally unprepared. I'm doing it on my Masterbuilt 7-in-1. I've never smoked on this thing before. I'll be interested to see how I feel about it vs. my Char-Griller. I'll write a review when all is said and done. Here's what I got going on: Ribs...

    Bradley Smoking Wood Discs/Pucks

    So someone was wondering in another post if a person could make the wood pucks used for Bradley smokers at home and it got me to thinking. I don't have a Bradley smoker and I've never been witness to the pucks they use, but here is my idea for making your own. I've never tried, but I might...

    Omaha Smokers...Large Green Egg Smoker

    Saw this and thought I'd pass it along. Don't know how good they are, but I've heard nice things about 'em. http://omaha.craigslist.org/for/816610054.html J-

    Converting Charcoal ECB to Propane?

    So I was thinking... I have a Masterbuilt 7 in 1 smoker/charcoal/propane/fryer set up that someone gave to me. I was looking to buy a turkey fryer pot for it, but found that most of them were $40-$50 on-line. I was in Wally-World the other day and found a complete King Kooker Turkey fryer set...

    Smoking Patch?

    Is there a patch to help settle the urge for meat smoking? I've seen them for cigarette smoking, but I'm looking for one for meat smoking. I've got about a weeks worth of leftovers and I'm already trying to plan my next smoke. In addition there is a homemade double barrel smoker on craigslist...

    1st Butts w/Q-view

    So I rolled outta bed at 4-ish to get my butts started. I decided to rub and store last night. I think I'm getting the whole charcoal thing down now...the chimney helped a crap ton. Temps were stabilized at about 242F and I got them on just before 5. I'm using RO lump on a Minion method with...

    Silly question?

    Does the starting temp of the meat affect the plateau? I mean, if I throw a butt on the smoker right out of the fridge will it have a longer plateau than say a butt that's been sitting at room temp for a few hours (obviously it will take longer to cook...)? I'm sure this is a silly question...

    Rubbing my butt...

    Most of what I've read about rubbing a butt has said to do so 24hrs. before you smoke it. Is there any harm in letting it sit with the rub on longer? I'm doing a cook on Saturday. I plan on having the butts on the smoker around 5 am-ish. I want to prep them a head of time, but I will be at...

    Smoking time considerations

    Next weekend I'm having some colleagues over for a back to school gathering. I'm planning on smoking a couple of chickens and a couple of butts (of which will be my first attempt) and also having some burgers and dogs available as well. Up until now the most I've ever had in my smoker at one...

    Turkey smoke not going well...

    So I'm finally getting the chance to smoke again and it's not going well. I have not quite mastered the art of getting the charcoal ready to get my grill up to temp. I have been struggling to keep the temps high enough to cook this bird. I am using royal oak natural wood charcoal and seems to...

    Pork Spare Ribs

    Found some for $1.86/lb. today. Not bad for what I've been seeing around here. Only thing is; I don't know how to pick out 'good' ribs. Hopefully what I did buy will be good. It was $13 worth so I hope I don't F-things up! J-
