    Charcoal in an MES?

    I had a thought today about how to get consistent smoke, and also noticed people seem to get much better smoke ring with charcoal as fuel.  I have since found the retro kit for my MES since i have the tiny chip tray, and am working on getting that, but what about putting a piece or two of...

    Rib cooking time question

    Im going to smoke a few racks this weekend and was wondering...It appears everyone agrees ribs cook to time and not to temp, is this true? or is there a temp we should also shoot for.  The other question is...after the 3-2-1 method is done is it ok to keep them in the smoker at a lower temp? ...
