    How long can I keep pork in cooler?

    I pulled 2 butts off the smoker at 6:30 am, wrapped them in foil and a towel and then placed them in a cooler. We're not eating them until 3:00 pm this afternoon. My question is, how long can I leave the butts in the cooler before I should pull them out and shred? Could I wait all the way up...

    Turkey Panic!

    Put on a 20lb bird at 7am this morning and expected a 9 - 10 hour smoke. Been operating the temp between 300 and 325 to be sure to hit 140 mark in 4 hours. In just 2.5 hours the breast has an IT of 145. Do turkeys stall like other meats? If not this bird will be done 5 hours early! I'm going...

    Thanksgiving Prep Questions

    I have a few questions regarding my turkey preparation tomorrow. 1. Do you think an 18 pound bird cooked at 300 – 325 degrees will hit 140 degree internal temp within 4 hours? 2. I've read several different opinions regarding how long it takes to cook a turkey based on the weight. I’ve read...

    Mustard or EVOO With Rub

    Have read a lot of posts on this topic and didn't find the answer to my question. My question is what you do after you apply the EVOO or mustard. Do you just sprinkle on the rub and leave the meat as is or do you spread the evoo/mustard around with the rub. Hopefully this question makes sense.

    Drying Pellets in a Microwave

    Looking forward to trying out my new Amazin smoker tomorrow and was wondering how long some of you microwave your pellets to dry them out? I did a test run outside of the smoker earlier this evening and I was having difficulty keeping it lit. Is there an amount of time per row of pellets?

    Frustrating First Brisket with new MES 40

    Decided to go with a brisket for my first smoke on my new MES 40.  Unfortunately it's been a frustrating experience.  I got out of bed at 5:15 to start cooking up the 5.5 lb flat brisket.  What I have read about the MES and its inability to create smoke at low temperatures is very true.  Outside...

    Pulled Beef

    Going to be cooking on my brand new MES 40 this weekend and was thinking about doing pulled beef.  Curious as to what cut of beef to use and what type of rubs or marindes.  How about cook times?  Fired up about using the new smoker!!!

    MES 40 - Plug Into Wall

    After a long wait I'm finally getting my MES 40. I've read at least in one post that you need to plug the unit directly into the wall outlet rather than using an extension cord. The post stated that the unit wouldn't heat properly. I'm not an electrician but that doesn't sound right to me...

    Storing Probes

    Knowing that the Maverick probes are pretty fragile, I'm curious how some of you store your probes when not in use.

    BB Ribs - apple cider soak

    Cooking up some baby backs tomorrow and I have them spending the night in an apple cider soak/marinade. My question is related to draining the marinade prior to applying the rub. I'm concerned there will be onions and thyme sticking to the ribs once I drain off the liquid. Should I lightly rinse...

    Newbie - First Butt

    I have had a vertical smoker for a number of years but have pretty much stuck to turkeys and ribs. I just rubbed a 5.5 lb butt down and set it in the fridge for the night. I have to admit that I'm feeling a little intimidated reading the Pork threads. Would love any of you pit masters to give...
