    How long can you keep a brisket hot

    i am smoking my first brisket. The recipe said to cook it around 18-20 hours. I put it in at 7:00 pm last night. It is up to 150 degrees at 8:00 AM so it is going to done way before our meal at 6 tonight. I plan on resting it in a cooler but then what? Do I turn the smoker down to 140 and put it...

    First time Thanksgiving Turkey

    Another Iowan

    Hello all, I just found this forum a few days ago and have been reading a lot. Years ago I had a charcoal smoker but was not very good at it. I decided to give it a try again. My son bought me a MES 130B for Fathers day. I asked for a MES 30 but he decided I needed a digital one. I see a lot of...
