    Smoked whole chickeb

    Thinking about trying a bird in my MES. Should I smoke for a while and finish in an oven since the MES has it's limits as to how hot it can get?

    WOOD FOR AN OFFSET?

    I am leaning towards an offset smoker. Where do you get the wood for these without have to buy a chord of oak?

    Morton's of Omaha Brisket

    Any of you ever smoked one of these little things? How did you cook it and what were your results?

    Beef chuck short Ribs, Singles or rack?

    Turned out quite well, still have to work on my seasoning. Too salty.

    Beef chuck short Ribs, Singles or rack?

    Is there any advantage/disadvantage to slicing these into individual ribs before smoking?

    Hanging meat?

    Well the tying it up worked fine! 14 hours later!

    Fat up or fat down

    Never pulled brisket before but sound like a good way to go since there are only three of us here. Which end do you think pulls the best?

    Fat up or fat down

    When smoking a brisket in the MES do you put the fat side towards the heat source or away from it?

    Hanging meat?

    I intend to wrap around 165. Do you think I should remove the string prior to wrapping?

    Hanging meat?

    Well a little butcher's twine and some macrame knots and my brisket shrunk enough to easily fit on the grate.

    Hanging meat?

    I can make it fit assuming it will shrink as it cooks. It is about 2 inches oversize. See grate on top of brisket in pan.

    Hanging meat?

    Yes, I could separate it but that kind of defeats the whole idea of smoking a brisket IMHO. I have smoked flats before and they were quite good. Never smoked a point.

    Hanging meat?

    My better half bought us a Prime Brisket from Costco and I'm afraid it might be to large for my MES 30. Have any of you ever tried hanging a brisket vertically in a smoker before or is that a dumb idea?

    Final mod; to my MES. I think?

    I have two 1/8" holes drilled in the middle of the sides. I slide the controller probe in one side and my Inkbird probe in the other side and have it set as a 310 high temp alarm. That way if my Amazing pellet tray ignites it will set off the alarm also.

    Final mod; to my MES. I think?

    That is what I did but got tired of it struggling to reach 250 so I did away with all of the original parts ans added this new element.
