    First Brisket in MES - Suggestions

    Cooked it to 185 and it turned out pretty dry. It was easy to cut with a plastic fork, but very dry. I thought about throwing it in crock pot with some beef broth but went with it as is.

    First Brisket in MES - Suggestions

    I will split it tomorrow night and rub it up. Put it in around 7pm on Friday night. When it finishes, wrap it and store in a cooler or the oven at warm and hold. Then put the beans and ABTs in for 3 hours to have them done at dinner time.

    Another Iowan here!

    I am in the CR Metro area as well. I picked my 30" MES up last week, made some yummy pulled with it this weekend. If you find a good source for wood in the area let me know.

    First Brisket in MES - Suggestions

    I was planning on Baked Beans and ABTs each taking up a shelf. If I don't split the packer, then tossing 2 chickens or maybe meatloaf on is an good idea.

    First Brisket in MES - Suggestions

    That's what I want to avoid. I want it to hit 200* with plenty of time to spare. Another question: How much wood? I think I overdid it with my 8# Pork Butt with 6oz. It was good, but really heavy smoke flavor.

    First Brisket in MES - Suggestions

    Looking for some suggestions on how to prep a 13# packer brisket for a 30" MES. Should I seperate the point from the flat before smoking? Have a couple friends over for dinner is around 6pm. What's the best plan for having it ready to go? My wife handles the "It's ready when it's ready" but...

    Budwieser BBQ Sauce

    I wasn't very impressed. It was a very sweet sauce with any heat. I keep going back to Famous Dave's for store bought.

    Masterbuilt 30"

    Wally World for me. Couldn't pass up the $188 price. Mine was in perfect condition. I set mine on an outdoor friendly end table. Eventually I would like to build a rolling cart for the smoker and a dorm fridge. So I can have easy storage when not in use and a place to stash my supplies.

    Hello from Iowa

    Good to be here. Got the smoker seasoned this afternoon, and I just tossed in a 8.8# Boston Butt at 225. We will see how it turns out tomorrow.

    Budwieser BBQ Sauce

    I picked up the BBQ sauce tonight. The Budweiser label just kind of caught my eye since it seemed out of place. For $1.75, it's worth a shot.

    Hello from Iowa

    Hello from Iowa. New to smoking, recently picked up a 30" MES for my eating pleasure. With one toddler and another kid on the way, seemed like the best way to go. Got it mostly for personal consumption, but also when we entertain.

    Just go the e-mail. I can pick my 30" up today after work.

    Masterbuilt 30"

    Same for me. I am guessing from the same place judging by the price and delivery range. I might have to run by the local Sam's to check on the $240 price. I wasn't interested in it for $299, but that $60 off might change my mind.
