Well, National Capitol Region as they call it up here. I am actually in Northern VA. I have been smoking on my weber grill for years, and finally got a dedicated smoker. The Masterbuilt 30. Looking forward to ribs, brisket, tri-tip, along with smoked Bass and making my own bacon and jerky.

Hi again, it's been a great two weeks with the smoker. First thing I tried was beef jerky. Came out good, just got a little impatient and did not let it marinate long enough. Next I did ribs. Bought them at Costco in the 3 pack. Had to cut each rack in half to fit in my MES 30. Dry rubbed them and smoked them with apple wood for about 4 hours as it was kind of cold that day. Pulled them out and put some sauce on them because the kids like sticky ribs. Smoked another 45 minutes, Perfect! Tomorrow is my New Year's Eve Party, so tonight around midnight I am smoking a brisket and pork shoulders. Figure 250 degrees with a nice blend of hickory and apple. When I get up in the morning I will continue to apply some mop sauce to the pork, pull the meats and cooler them once they get to temp. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, yesterday I cold smoked gouda, cheddar, and mozzarella for the party. Came out pretty good, but in the future I will do the cheeses about 2 weeks ahead and wrap them tight and refrigerate.
