    My first fatty

    Well, the New Year has begun...  I also have developed a new love of, well, fatties!! This being my first, I was a little skeptical, but turned out good.  The wife doesn't like it too much because it is too fattening.  I, on the other hand, think it is GREAT!!! Scrambled some eggs with some...

    My CHRISTmas dinner

    Well, the in laws said they didn't want to cook for the holiday, so they bought a pork loin for me to smoke!  I coated with yellow mustard, rubbed some new seasonings my MIL got for me and let it set overnight.  Got the MES to 225*, apple/maple smoke going and let 'er rip!  Was VERY well...

    Smoked apples

    First smoke with new Birthday present

    I got a new 30" MES yesterday for my birthday (only had to wait in line at BPS for an hour) and figured I needed to try it out.  Got a Boston Butt, some baby back ribs and country style ribs the other day so I figured I might as well. The ribs were coated with mustard and Head Country and the...

    New Smoker for Birthday!

    I know it isn't a big deal, but I got a new MES 30" today at BPS for $179.  It wasn't that bad at the store, but I don't like crowds anyway.  But anyway, I wish I could have afforded the 40", but this will do for now.  Besides, can you really have too many smokers??? I already have it seasoned...

    Two turkeys for Thanksgiving

    After trying different things, I did my turkeys two different ways.  1 I brined in CranApple juice and salt overnight.  The other I injected with Lawrys Herb and Garlic.  I rubbed olive oil on both and used a rub.  Smoked for 5 hours at 250* then put in oven for little more than 1 hour.  Was a...

    First whole chicken

    I was just wondering if I did this right.  I injected the bird, rubbed with salted butter and put on my smoker at about 250* for the last 4 1/2 hours.  I used hickory (all I had) and need it to be done soon.  I heated my oven to 275 and just put it in there.  I will check it and see how it comes...

    First smoke

    Well, I decided to smoke my quail that was given to me by a friend. Just learning, so I think it went alright I marinated in Italian dressing, put some Duck Commader rub on them, wrapped in bacon and smoked over pecan/hickory for about 2.5 hours. Turned out pretty good. I need to work on...

    Newbie in Oklahoma

    Hello all.. I found this by google and think it is pretty cool. I am very much a "newbie" when it comes to smoking. I love to grill, but have never smoked anything. Growing up, my stepdad did all the time, but really didn't take the time to learn from him. (lots missed there, in a lot of...
