    New Garden in Houston, TX

    I suggest only planting things that can withstand 7 months of no rain and 100 degree temperatures as well as tolerate 40+ inches of rain in 3 days all in one year.  :-)

    I hate brisket

    I've never had any luck cooking just the flats.  They come out dry every time.  Full packers from Wally World or Sam's is the ticket for me.  I trim the thick slab of fat off and smoke it to 165 foil and then put in a cooler at 195 for a couple of hours.  Some are better than others but the...

    Help...MES40 Puffing Flames!

    Mine does the same thing.  I just got it for Christmas and have only used it 3 or 4 times. My theory is that the wood is at combustion temperature and just lacks enough oxygen to get a flame going.  I think if it gets enough O2 through either the chip loader getting opened or a draft helping...

    Guess what's under the tree...

    I have one of the small cajun electric smokers that I have been using for the past year.  I have delighted my wife and kids with my creations during that time.  I asked Santa for a 42" MES for Christmas and was excited to come home from work today with this package under the tree.  I believe!!!!.
