    Big Brisky - Freezing Uncooked

    Hey Guys - just picked up my packer from the butcher for my Christmas smoke.  I wanted something small because we're gonna have a TON of sides available, but I ended up with a 14+ pounder.  Now on top of that, the sucker is too wide to fit in my MES30, and the cryo somehow sprung a nick at the...

    First Ever Smoke - Brisket in an MES30

    Success! Brisket came out great - I spent so much time focusing on the cook that the only thing I remembered about the carving was to cut across the grain.  Well, I did that, but my knife was either not-so-good or the Brisket was just that tender.  Tasting confirm it was a combination of both...

    First Ever Smoke - Brisket in an MES30

    Meant to say it earlier - thanks for the advice on the cut, Al - demystified everything a bit for me. Well I just pulled it at an IT of 200 after 8.5 hours in the smoker. Most of it was at 225 - 230, but that flare up I had with the smoker maze probably put me at 270-280 for a couple hours...

    First Ever Smoke - Brisket in an MES30

    Alarm just went off that IT hit 190. A lot sooner than I was planning for. I may be looking at brisket for an early lunch. Since Brisky & I were running way early, i grabbed the instant read and gave Brisky a few pokes. The probe went in pretty easy. The one thing I've learned on the...

    First Ever Smoke - Brisket in an MES30

    Hit the stall within the last hour or so around 169. Temps in the cabinet have stabilized but the Smoker Maze is burned out. Added some chips the old fashioned way a couple times now and left the loader in all the way this last time. Probably my last time adding chips as I'm rounding the...

    First Ever Smoke - Brisket in an MES30

    So 2 hours in, and my probe powered down, so I went down to turn it back on and check on things.  I knew the cabinet thermometer reads about 20 - 25 degrees hotter than truth from the potato test I did yesterday, but instead of reading the 250 I set it at, it read 300 - which had me worried...

    First Ever Smoke - Brisket in an MES30

    Hey Folks -  Just threw my first smoke on my first smoker on - got a brisket just shy of 8 lbs that I bought trimmed as sort of a dry run to see if I would be able to pull this off again at Christmas.  I've been reading a lot of the information on here, and I feel about as prepared as I'll ever...

    First Time Smoker in Central NC

    Hey Folks!  Just seasoned my very first smoker this past weekend and joined to learn the ways of the pros.  I'm running an MES30gen1 just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina on my covered screen porch in the back.  Really hoping the first few runs go well so I don't end up discouraged.  I'm gonna...
