    Pit Boss at Menards

    Amazen Company

    Anyone know the best way to get in touch with the folks at the company?  I have placed a phone call (Sunday) and sent an email (this morning) and haven't heard anything back. For anyone who has contacted them in the past, how long should I expect for return contact? Thanks

    Chewy Brisket Point (Q-view coming soon)

    Thank you everyone.   I wrote the wrong time...3.5 hr was for my chicken, not the brisket. And, I forgot to take pictures before eating it. I shall redeem myself next time.

    Chewy Brisket Point (Q-view coming soon)

    Hey everyone,  I smoked my first brisket point at 250 for about 3.5 hr until IT was 190, but it is real chewy.  Any thoughts on why and what to do to save it?

    Dry Wild Turkey Breast

    Hey Everyone,  Not sure what went wrong....I smoked a wild turkey breast.  The night before, I injected and rubbed the meat.  I ran the MB40XL at about 240 degrees.  About 4 hr in the meat temp read 140 degrees but it looked DONE!  I took it out and it was bone dry. I was going to pull at 165...

    My UDS (trashcan)

    All the zinc was burnt off before cooking. Thanks for the concern.

    My First Smoke

    Since I stopped taking my vitamins I reckon the zinc helps.  Just kidding all, I burnt off all the zinc before smoking.

    My First Fatty

    Thanks all. All of the meat is turkey with noodles, gruyere, and cheddar in the middle. Learned some things along the way. It turns out when ground turkey gets warm it falls apart. Gotta move quickly!

    My First Smoke

    Thanks! I brined it for about 12 hr and then rubbed it with Simon & Garfunkel seasoning (Googled the recipe) and then inserted some Blue Moon beer. Smoked it for about 4 hr with apple wood.
