    Smoke-Grilled Muffin Cup Chicken Thighs

    Not Myron Mixon style, except for the use of a muffin pan. First time I've done thighs - ever. Turned out very tasty - kids and family promptly scarfed them down. Next time I pick these up, I'll pick up more and do extra for the freezer. Did not brine these boneless / skinless thighs, really...

    Another Brisket On The MES, Trying Higher Heat. Oh, And QView Too

    I'm also very interested. I've done many, many briskets using a variety of wood and charcoal fueled smokers, but when I did my first brisket on my new 40" MES, I ruined it - I mean it was unedible, had to be thrown away. I was heartbroken to say the least. Again, I've done many briskets, and...

    Chicken Thighs with Qview Tonights dinner

    I've not bought thighs at Sam's. Did they come boneless already or did you cook 'em bone in? Gotta' say though, the chicken thighs look beautiful, I mean just great. Really like the idea of smokin' 'em up nice, then finishing them on the hot grill for some crisp. I might do that on my batch of...

    Cupcake tin chicken thighs-qview

    Same story here. After seeing Myron do it, then him brow-beat the other Texas boy about "stealin" his cooking method, I been hankering to do it myself. Picked up some boneless chicken thighs at the HEB last night. So now I'm lookin around for some guidance. Sweet Chops, I must say, these thighs...

    Instant read thermometer

    Also bought a couple of analog thermometers I saw at Sam's Club last weekend. I think I paid about $5 for a pack of two of these thermometers with pen style cover and sleeve clip. Can't ever seem to have too many thermometers to check my meat!!. I haven't checked them for accuracy yet. They're...

    Instant read thermometer

    This is the red Taylor digital thermometer, model 806E, aka the "Weekend Warrior" as noted on the handle. I paid about $14 for it at Lowes this past Saturday. I have only used it to check actual meat temp once (yesterday), and it seemed to work pretty good. It is NOT instantaneous - it appears...

    My first Fatties (two of them) W/Q-View

    NWBHOss, great looking waffle filled fatty. I want to do one, so far, I've only done "solid" all meat fattys. That one you did looks good. I see you smoked until you got to 165* - where did you measure the 165* at - in the middle of the waffles? Please advise sir. Thanks for the help...

    New Masterbuilt-MES Sam's Club W/QVIEW

    BTW Oneshot, very cool looking Traeger in your signature. I've always looked enviously on those auto pellet feed smokers. Treytexag

    New Masterbuilt-MES Sam's Club W/QVIEW

    In my area, prices between the two are very competitive. I like them both, they're simply different. For example, I just bought the MES 40 at Sams Club - didn't have it at Costco. However, I buy some of the freshest, best tasting Salmon available round here at Costco. Costco is totally...

    New Masterbuilt-MES Sam's Club W/QVIEW

    I did that once. Almost impossible. I ended up calling the factories and inquiring about duplicate models with different names. In the end, no satisfaction on the matresses!!

    New Masterbuilt-MES Sam's Club W/QVIEW

    Eman, thanks for the tip, I had no idea Sam's Club would do a one day freebie membership. I might of done that had I known. Truth be told, even though we shop alot at Costco because it's close by, I thought the Masterbuilt was a great excuse for the wife, so we could join Sam's Club too...

    New Masterbuilt-MES Sam's Club W/QVIEW

    I'm not a retail man, nor a marketer. But my thought was exactly what aeroforce suggested. Different model numbers alleviates other retailers from having to deal with the "price match" issue. Treytexag

    Any New 40" MES reviews?

    I just bought the Sam's Club MES 40 today. I returned an unused 20070508 model received as a Christmas gift to Gander Mountain today as well. The 20070508 model was not the upgraded 40 with the new 1,200 watt element, "service" panel in back, and smaller chip tray. The model number of the Sam's...

    New Masterbuilt-MES Sam's Club W/QVIEW

    I received a 40" MES for Christmas, my wife bought it for $399 at Gander Mountain. It was the 20070508 model. After hearing here about the new model, I opened it up, confirmed it was the 800 watt, non-replacable element version - but that's as far as I got since we're in the middle of what is a...
