Are you going low and slow or going to cook at like 300 from frozen Once it's thawed I'd say start with the mesquite and then switch to apple for the rest of if you are just going to be light it all at the same time 25/75 mix?

Is there a specific reason for the 40"? I have a 30" and haven't had an issue with its size.. the 40" does have a better element to keep up with temps in the cold. The front window doesn't do poo poo after the first.2 smokes.. and it can be had for 177 or sometimes even cheaper like 149..

sorry no pics folks, maybe tomorrow for the leftovers.. I did 3/2/1 ribs for the second time. This time I modified the times a little. 3 @ 225 1.5 @ 225 w/ BBQ sauce and then a little bit of apple juice in the foil. .5 @ 275 Turned out really good.. no real bark, but were def not as dry as when I did 3/2/1 did 4 full racks, had 6 adults over and still have like 1-2 racks left everyone ate a quarter rack of ribs kuz there was lots of other stuff to eat so now I have some lunches for the next few days. Happy Labor day America.

this is possible, aluminum pans aren't the greatest to cook tomatoes / tomato sauce due to the aciditiy, maybe try again with a "non-reactive" pan. I'm assuming it's not an anodized pan, you're just using the toss away aluminum pans which are probably leeching poo poo flavors into tomatoes that are being cooked for multiple hours in them. tater_salad fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Dec 17, 2018 |

MES 30 is a great starting smoker. I haven't used mine in the winter yet this year but it works well in summer. It does have a hard time getting big slabs of meat (racks of ribs or full packer briskets) but you CAN cut meat in half. I had a group of people and ended up doing 3 racks of ribs in mine. I would agree with others that you don't get a fantastic smoke ring, but the food tastes great coming out of it, and it's so easy to use. Just put in meat, add wood and let it run. I generally add extra wood about every hour or so for a few hours since the hopper doesn't work. Plan on getting a decent probe thermometer too so you aren't opening and closing to get temps. I use a wireless one and it make life easy, I can see my meats temp while sitting cozily in the living room.

TheReverend posted:Final question, is this something you have to somewhat babysit? You can prety much let it go, If you want to let it sit you'd probably want to get the amazon pellet thing. They'll give you many hours of smoke. I get to work from home so I just set mine and toss wood in occasionally. I'd recommend trying some pulled pork on a weekend or something to make sure it's all working correctly. Colostomy Bag posted:Some MES have a meat probe and a remote, but the range is poo poo compared to something dedicated to the task. yeah but not the ~$100-$140 30" You're better going with a separate device.. I think some of the remote thermometers have a cloud connection so you can even monitor from work.

Doing a packer brisket in my 30 mes. So somewhere around maybe 10lbs. But I'm going to assume I need to cut it in half to fit. Parchment paper okay for the crutch? How much to should I expect 2 5ishlb chunks to take to smoke. (I'm adding another hour for a rest in a cooler). Can I have it done early and cooler rest for a few hrs? I've done "trimmed" smaller brisket (think they called it a roast) and they have taken longer than 1.5 to cook and last time it was a bit tough / dry but I'm assuming it had too much fat taken off of it.

Infinite Karma posted:Pork butts are usually that size, and don't usually have a fat cap. Are you thinking of pork belly? All the shoulder's I've bought are 7ish lbs and have a fat cap on the top. edit: but it appears that there are some that are also sold trimmed. lookin' on the interewebs there's 2 different camps equally split between trim it or keep it. tater_salad fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Mar 5, 2019 |

To be fair mines usually got a bit more fat on it, they always bone in. I just grabbed a pic from the net since I haven't photographed a naked butt.. all my pics are post smoked or at least covered in rub.

Too much bark? Are you on drugs? Is this a code word for being kidnapped or some poo poo. I mean the words are all English but don't seem to make a sensible sentence. At 225 I expect my pork butt (fat cap bone in) to take about 2hrs per lb with no crutch. I rarely do a big rear end butt day of, although it impacts flavor / bark.. generally I make my shoulder the day before then toss in crock pot for a few hrs before serving. Many times I'm doing butts from 6am to 10pm. If you plan on serving smoked things for dinner. You're planning on getting your rear end up at 5am or earlier. If it's done early you can always shove it in cooler and rest... If it's not done you have hangry guests / significant others.o tater_salad fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Mar 9, 2019 |

^^ and a group of money. I dropped $100 for 12ish lbs of brisket last time I have a big brisket get together. Was tasty as hell and worth every penny... Mes 30 user here. Don't get the Bluetooth one.. get the black box one and spend the money on a good meat thermometer. You really don't need to do anything with the temp most of the time other than set to 225 and feed it chips every 1+2 hrs. tater_salad fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Mar 29, 2019 |

Expect 12 hours minimum for a pork butt. (I plan 15 at 225 without a crutch) They are big and hearty they will hold temp in a cooler for a long time. Better to have it early and in a collet than late and have to get taco Bell.

I love my generic silicone bbq gloves. Also for pork I usually just take the whole tack out and put on a Cookie sheet. Trying to lift a.l fully cooked butt is trouble. ↓↓ I'd argue I was on a keyboard not phone posting but what's the point.

Yeah don't store then pull. Most often I do my butts the day before. Shred & cool on cookie sheet for a little bit then toss it in the fridge for the next day. Next day I fire up the crock pot and simmer it up.
