Was so excited to perform my first smoke in my new 30" MES.
Performed all the brine steps.
Pan with a touch of water and ginger ale mix.
Hickory and Apple wood chips.
Set at 250 and... go
First hour was fine - she climbed and I got my first wiff of goodness.
Instructions said it would take 1.5 - 3 hours. I've been sitting at around 150 for the last hour or so - going on about 4 hrs.
I just cranked it up to 275 just to try and get it there.
Oh - I'm using the MES themoteter AND a digital just to be sure.
I read chicken doesn't stall but this.... is... frustrating.
Advice?
