    2-3-1 for beef ribs?

    I am going to do a set of beef back ribs today. I have been fighting with some dry meat issues lately and I think it's because I live in salt lake city where humidity is near non existent, today is humid at 27%, I added water and apple juice to the water pan but am curious if taking away an hour...

    Southern kickin ribs.

    I am about to try out a new recipe, to me at least. We were at sams club yesterday and they had a package of Loin Back Ribs (LBR) there, whole rack was $10 so I figured I would give them a go as that was $5 cheaper than the last baby backs I bought and looked a whole lot meatier.  Plan is a...

    my no foil half fail.

    So I decided to do a no foil picnic roast. The AMNPS worked awesome and got a good 12 hours out of a full load. But I ran into an issue. The meat came out with a great bark but the meat was a dry and a little tough. Bone came out nice and clean and easy and the center meat was not too bad...

I have found a few good looking recipes for western style finishing sauce and will definitely be giving them as shot, but does...

    My first smoke MES40 gen1

    Turned out alright, they were not the best I have had but definitely way better than some of the ones I have paid for at restaurants.  The problem I ran into was they were over done. I did the 2-2-1 method at 225 since they were baby back ribs. I did not insert the meat temp probe since I...

    MES40 low temp question

    So this might be a silly question but I set up my MES40 and like most other people it seems to be about 20 degrees below what the smoker thinks it is, check with a brand new maverick, so my question is do you just adjust the cooking time and leave the temp where a recipe says? or if it is a...

    Well now what?

    I initially ordered a MES30 but the company I ordered if from is on back ordered so I got my money back. That being said I can spend up to about 350 so I am thinking of getting a MES40 off of QVC which appears to be a gen 1 going by the location of the control panel. Or I have thought of getting...

    Soon to be MES30 owner

    I live in the Salt lake city area and I just ordered my first ever smoker, a Masterbuilt electric 30". I believe it is a gen 1 based off of the part number on the site but I am still excited to get started. Any tips on how to upgrade it will be welcomed as will any tips on cooking, rubs and...
