    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I have had a 40" MES for a couple of years, with window, and electronic.  It is sweet. Never had another, so no real comparison--I used to put smoke pouches in my BBQ and try to keep the heat low.  Mixed results, to say the least.  We get a good dose of winter up here in Saskatchewan...

    opinions anyone on new smoker

    Masterbuilt has told me they will send a replacement--but they are on backorder.  I seem to have read this is a problem for others waiting for things from them. In any case, customer service assures me that an assembly has been ordered for me and will be shipped in early November. I am greatful...

    Sirloin Tip Roast

    A big thank you to the experienced smokers who gave their advice on my original post a few weeks ago. Finally had a chance to attempt the sirloin challenge. I made a rub with brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, chili powder, ground ginger and sea salt. Once thoroughly coated, I...

    Sirloin Tip Roast

    I have 2 sirloin tip roasts, both nearly the size of a basketball.  I would like to rub & smoke one of them.  Any suggestions for time, and finished temperature would be much appreciated.  I use a 2-burner natural gas bbq--heat one side, meat the other, and smoke pouches over the heat.  Sirloin...
