Hello,

I live in Taunton, Ma. I just got a MES 30 and I am attempting my first smoke right now. I have a 9.5 pound Boston Butt and a 7 pound Brisket w/ a light coat of mustard and a nice rub that I found on here. The Butt is at 175 after 12 hours and the Brisket is at 153 after 4 hours. I have sprayed the Butt with apple juice twice and tried to keep a even smoke with apple chips. I have the smoker set at 225. I am going to foil and wrap in towels when I remove them to rest. I have read a lot of articles on here and they have helped tremendously. Still hoping that I don't screw up, have my parents and a couple friends coming for dinner.

Thank you. I think both meats are in there stalls. They have both dropped a couple degrees and I am fighting my natural instinct to turn up the heat. I have plenty of time so I will watch and wait.

to SMF!  We are so glad you joined us! 

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a kindle, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

If you didn't read the "Terms of Service" notes.....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per TulsaJeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!
