    Can I smoke a whole brisket placed at an angle in my Masterbuilt 30 electric smoker?

    I had to cut a 10 lb'er into 2 pieces and put one on the top and one on the middle rack.

    MES 30 + A-Maze-N-Smoker

    I have the MES30 analog model and I put my AMNS on top of the water dish in a small aluminum pan.

    First MES30 Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers [QView]

    Finished after about 2 hours in the smoker.  Temperature was above 225 the whole time, finished them at 250 for the last 30 mins. Very tastey, not as spicy I thought they would be (which is good for the womens). Easy breezy, no clean up due to pan.  MES30 For The Win!

    First MES30 Brisket [QView]

    Thinking of cooking the point tomorrow by itself.  Any thoughts on this?

    First MES30 Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers [QView]

    Taking a little longer than I thought.  I'm going to bump the temp to 250 and let them cook another 20-30 mins.

    MES 30 leaking down the legs

    I have the analog model, so the drain is right in the centre.  I have yet to have anything even go into my drip pan since nothing ever makes it to the bottom (i use an aluminum roasting pan from the grocery store to catch the drippings - it only costs $0.75). I still get a drip from the door -...

    First MES30 Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers [QView]

    Somehow ran into a few dozen jalapeno peppers and decided to stuff them with cream cheese/cheddar/spices and then wrap them in bacon and smoke. Put them on with mesquite at 225 - will check on them in 1 hour. YUM!  The MES30 rocks.

    Quote: I bought it at my local butcher shop in downtown Toronto.

    Ok Bradley or Masterbuilt.

    I have the MES30 analog model (the one with the electric frying pan control that plugs into the side of the unit). It rocks!  Best $150 I ever spent.  Ribs, butt, turkey, salmon and brisket all turned out perfect on the first try. Go for it.  You can always upgrade to the bigger model if you...

    First MES30 Brisket [QView]

    Pretty darn good!  Most, tender, great mesquite flavor.  Not bad for a my first brisket! This is going to be awesome on some rye bread!  Smoking is so darn fun! The only thing is that it is really peppery and saly - I think I am using too much salt in my rubs (the salmon was salty as well) or...

    Took them out and foiled them at 165 deg.  Cooked them to 195 and then pulled them to rest. Total cooking from 8:30 to 15:30 - 7 hours. I'm going to rest them 90 minutes before cutting. Stay tuned for photos of the end result.

    Here they are just put on the smoker (8:40 AM my time). It's been 4 hours at 225 deg and they are hovering around 155.  I'm not 100% sold on foiling then, we'll see what they are like at 165.

    When I smoke these pieces should I put liquid in the water pan?  I'm worried I trimmed off too much fat and detached the point which will make this dry.

    Thanks for the clairification on the name! :0 Not sure I have room in the smoker for this - I only have 3 racks and one is out of commission as I use it to catch the drippings - so I will probably just freeze it and use it later to make these burnt ends.  They look tasty!
