OK friends here is what I am doing. My friend is having a cook for a few people at work. He had already halled his stick burner to work. He then realized that would not give him time to cook a butt. Instead of changing the menu or going to get his trailer I said I would get it going for him. So yesterday I got the MES 40 up to temp. Put some pellets in the microwave to dry. I then rubbed my butt's

. (hey it is my meat while it is here. I can rub it if I want to).

At 11:00 am it went into the MES at 240° I got the AMNPS going real good and put it into the MES. At 5:00 pm I tuned the MES down to 220° to slow it down. The it was 147° and he wasn't going to pick it up untill 5:45 am. Knowing this was going to be a long all night smoke I grabbed a few

 TASTE JUST AS GOOD WITH ELECTRIC AS IT WOULD WITH STICKS! I then went to get some sleep before he got here at 5:45 am. Since it didn't matter if it was done when he got here I left the temp at 220°. When he got here to pick it up the IT was 169°
