    Dry Pulled Pork

    Maverick for temp so it’s accurate. Thanks for kind words. No trimming as it was already mean but usually I pan it and have a ton of drippings to use. Don’t want to use finishing sauce as some want bbq and others want vinegar but broth and butter is great idea. I’ll get a less lean cut next...

    Dry Pulled Pork

    I smoked a pork shoulder today (forgot weight) @ 225F +/- 10F for 13.5 hours until 201F. I didn't wrap it which is unfortunate because all of the drippings dried up in the pan below the grate. The bark was a bit tough but good flavor. The meat pulled fine but was a bit tough. Taste is good but...

    Baby Back Ribs - Fatty

    I THINK 18XF. I typically do by time and bend test. My concern is always that it will dry out. It WAS dry but that could be just the fat not fully rendered.

    Baby Back Ribs - Fatty

    Rub was done over night. I suppose I didn't cook long enough to get the fat to render and give more tenderness. they are getting better though but losing credibility with wife...

    Dual probe Maverick. The MES temp is never close.

    Baby Back Ribs - Fatty

    The fat didn't render off with them tented and they were semi-dry. I'd imagine they would be very tough if they would finish off on the grate...

    Baby Back Ribs - Fatty

    225F-245F. This seems to be inline with most of the other threads I've read. I use a pellet smoker -> https://www.amazenproducts.com/product_p/amnps5x8.htm

    Baby Back Ribs - Fatty

    I smoked Costco Baby Back Ribs (trimmed) for 2.5 hours in the MES and 2.5 hours in a foiled tin. I then reheated them on the grill along with some split chicken breast and leg quarters that were smoked about the same time. The ribs were semi-tender with some pull on the bone but didn't have much...

    Maintaining Temperature Impossible

    I've read countless threads and just when I think I know what I am doing, I encounter another issue. I feel like I am moving backwards instead of forwards and starting to lose support from the wife on the home front.  MES 30" with Maverick 732 and another no-name probe Both Maverick probes and...

    MES (30") Door Trim Crack

    I have a crack in the door trim of my Masterbuilt 20070910 30-inch(30"). I purchased it from Amazon 11/2014 and it typically sits covered on my patio so I am guessing this is weather related. It seems to be holding temperature so I am not sure if this is something to be concerned about or if it...
