I bought the mes30 a couple months ago, and well.....created a monster!
Been smoking everything I can get my hands on. Super fun!
Anyway, I smoked an antelope front shoulder on Xmas day, holy crap! Them suckers take smoke VERY nicely!
It was devoured before any pics could be taken!

My family is coming up to the house for New Year's Eve dinner... I'm gonna throw 10 Cornish game hens in the smoker. I thought about a simple dry rub with mesquite? Any thoughts?

Whats up my fellow smoking buddy?
I smoked 6 Cornish game hens for Christmas dinner. I brined them in Apple juice with rosemary, thyme and garlic powder for 24hrs and then smoked them with no rub and used apple chips for 5hrs of smoking and total cooking time was 8hrs, I basted them with butter.

Nice Jason!
Long time no talk. The birds look great! Maybe I'll try an apple brine? It did cross my mind

[Maverick]

Hmm.... Smoked tooth paste. Now there's an idea!

I got a new smoker for Christmas from the Mrs.  The fact I had two old ones meant nothing I guess    I guess maybe I should take the hint and try my hand at some smoking.   Time to search for some handy hints on here.

I just received a Traegger for Xmas...looking for any insight on great game recipes.

For the first six hrs the smoker temp was around 180-185 and the the last two hrs I bumped it up to 225. Pulled the birds out to rest when they hit 170.
