    4 weeks for a controller card for MES

    Thanks for the advice guys. Actually I like this smoker aside from the controller issue. My objective was to get an insulated box with a window. A remote controlled thermostat was a plus. I would have returned it to Lowes if they had another one. Which gets down to why I've been trying to make...

    4 weeks for a controller card for MES

    Just a follow up on further testing while waiting for a new controller card from China. The internal temp probe on the my Gen 2 Masterbuilt reads about 40° high relative to a Maverick 733 or a Thermoworks probe.  According to Masterbuilt the temperature probe and the smoker temperature are on...

    Dry Brining Pork

    Memorial Day Adventures with Qviews So, to test this theory that a dry brine would shorten the stall time, we coated a small 4 lb. bone-in pork butt with kosher salt for an hour which created a nice little puddle of moisture from the top half inch of the pork that would be unavailable for the...

    Dry Brining Pork

    That's great. But the objective here is to see if we can shorten the stall time and get the same texture and flavor.

    Dry Brining Pork

    Interesting comments. First off, you don't get bark without removing moisture. Second The stall is caused by evaporative cooling... which means you're drying out the meat. The more moisture you add the longer the stall. To the degree I can remove moisture from the outer layer of the meat I...

    Dry Brining Pork

     In my limited experience any pork butt that's been sitting for an hour, after being covered in a good salt based rub, will leave a puddle in the tray it's sitting in. Of course the longer it sits the more moisture will collect. Since the stall is caused by evaporative cooling, If I wipe up the...

    4 weeks for a controller card for MES

    I bought a MES 20070312 3 weeks ago so I could have it for Memorial Day. On my first smoke test I wasted a pork butt because the temp wouldn't get high enough to cook it. Tech support says it has a bad controller card and they'll send a new one. So after waiting for over a week I called to find...
