    MES with Broiler

    I just purchased the MES with bluetooth and broiler. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Does anyone have experience with this smoker? Seems like a it would work for chicken leg quarters, ribs and a few other things I finish on the grill.

    Jeff's corn

    I just read Jeff's newsletter about corn, potatoes, and cabbage.  Love the idea about the rub/butter combo.  Jeff, when you apply the butter every 30 minutes, do you pull the husks down or do you put the butter right on the husks.  Sorry I'm confused.  I've smoked corn and put the butter on...

    Brisket fat up or down?

    I'll be smoking a 10 lb brisket for a family gathering next Tuesday on my MES.  Should I smoke fat side up or down?  Should I score the fat before the rub?

    Jeff's Pulled Pork Mistake

    I'm smoking a pork butt this weekend, and I'm considering following "Jeff's Pulled Pork Mistake" method linked here: http://www.smoking-meat.com/nov-2005...d-recipes.html I was very pleased with my last one. But since I've now bought Jeff's rub and sauce recipes, I thought I'd give this...

    Southwest Chuckie w/o Qview

    I have to say there is no Qview with my Southwest Chuckie, but this is how it went: Injected the night before the smoke with Jalepeno Butter injection. Wrapped in Saran Wrap, then into a storage bag and into the frig. Rubbed with 1 packet taco seasoning, plus extra cumin, and let it sit...

    Brisket Disaster

    Yesterday's brisket was a disaster. Smoked it at 235-240. Plateaued around 160, so I patiently waited. It finally began rising again, and at 175 I foiled it with a little beef broth and some of the drippings. It looked a little tough, but I thought the juices would help. I pulled it, hoping...

    First brisket

    I'm smoking my first brisket on the MES. Lots of questions: At what temp do I smoke? We want it for slicing, so at what temp do I pull it? Should I foil it and finish it in the oven? I've just read so many ideas, but I can't quite put them together. Thanks

    Stuffed Pork 2-Ways

    Here's my brave attempt at stuffed pork loin 2-ways. The first was with pesto, Italian seasonings, Italian cheeses, baby spinach, and feta. The second was Southwest: salsa verde, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, Mexican cheeses, chopped onion. I think they both turned out pretty good, for my first...

    First butt on MES

    This was absolutely the best pulled pork I've ever done. I think the hubs almost cried. Injected with Cajun Butter and marinated overnight. Rubbed and let come to room temp while smoker was heated to 275. Put pork in smoker and lowered temp to 235. Maintained between 235 and 245. Smoked with...

    Cover thermometer wires?

    I just bought a Maverick ET-73 thermometer and already had a different Redi-Check thermometer. Should I cover the wires leading to the probe? I saw one Qview which appeared to have foil covering the wires and another with shrink tubing. Is this necessary or recommended?

    First smoke with MES

    Did my first smoke on the MES. I pulled them at internal temp. of 165, put them in an aluminum covered roasting pan, tented it with foil, and cooked for 40 minutes at 170. Then I removed the tent, brushed on a bit of sauce, and broiled for 20 minutes. They came out juicy and tender, but like...
