    Ox tail stew

    I enjoyed some last yr. It was like the best Sunday roast beef ever! I am stocking some up now to try my hand at cooking. I really enjoyed it when I bought it out.

    2nd Annual Kendallville IN BBQ Comp. Bixler Lake Campground

    Help a newbie understand.  Do you pull off the skin,  scrape off the fat,  then put the skin back on?  How does it stay?

    Thin brisket

    Bought a 10 lb brisket, and separated the point and flat to better fit in pans, but ended up not using the pans. Does anyone else separate them, and what is the disadvantage of doing it that way. Also, my brisket seemed thinner than I would like, so I guess it'll be done quicker.

    charbroil 30" 505 not smoking

    I think I would try it again,  but with NO water this time,  and see if that makes a difference.  I use a different,  offset style,  and use no water and have no problems.  Going to try my new MES 40 soon,  and it will be without water.  Let us know what you find out.

    Wood dust

    About to order an amps for a MES 40 that I'll pick up this weekend, and was wondering what the "dust" was for? When would you use that instead of the pellets?

    your welcome.  Let us know how you like it.  Has anyone heard if the new generation has upgraded the electric components that have plagued earlier versions?  Almost ready to pull the trigger on the unit you just got, Surfer Joe,  but after reading some complaints of some earlier versions,  I...

    MES 40 SS or painted?

    No thoughts on painted or Stainless  Steel?  My wife says save money and get the painted,  as long as the insides are SS.  Also,  noticed some   units have 4 shelves, and some 6.  ?

    MES 40 SS or painted?

    Looking for the 2.5 Gen 40",  but only one I have locally is the painted cabinet one from Sam's for $329.  Has a Stainless Steel door and legs/wheels,  but would like a full SS box.  Is it worth it?  Could probably get one somewhere else for another $100 without stand/wheels.  What do you think?

    MES window-- useless?

    Looking at the MES 40".  I know some have the window to see the meat.  Wouldn't it just soot up after a few uses?  I would like an all stainless one,  but not sure about the window.  Any thoughts?

    Taking too long?

    Here's yesterday's pics. Just on, with outside temp of 23* Boston Butt and ribs, after smoke and foiling The Butt all pulled. The meat was tender, but my rub was a little salty for my taste.

    Taking too long?

    mballi--I'll definately get the temp up quicker next time, or at the very least I'll not take it out of the frig too early. I just pulled the butt off at 206* and foiled it. Will pull in about an hr or so.
