    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    Doing my first one right now. I'm pretty stoked about all of the great information here. I'm doing low and slow. 225. Should take around 12 hours. What is the temperature of the stall?

    Rubs

    I've smoked ribs about 6 or 8 times now. I'm pretty comfortable with the process; time, amount of smoke, meat prep. Now I'm struggling with the rubs. I've been winging/eyeballing it so far.

    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    Lots of great information in this thread. This one capped it for me. I have a 30" MES and on Christmas morning at 6am I put a 12 lb brisket in there. The whole packer was too big so, and I don't know why so please don't judge, I took just the point. I smoked it with apple at 225 until it...

    Ribs came out great. Thanks for the tips. I kept the smoker shut up for the entire process. Meat side up of course. The meat came right off of the bone and was incredibly moist and tender.

    I have a problem.

    The more I smoke, the more I want to smoke. With each batch that comes out of the smoker, I'm already thinking about the when and how's for the next batch. I have a smoking addiction and the only cure I'm interested in is some form of apple wood smoked bacon.

    How much smoke?

    I have a MES. I'm smoking some pork ribs today. How many times do you recommend adding chips in a 6 to 7 hour cook cycle?

    Meat side up or down?

    Going to smoke some ribs tomorrow. Which is better? Smoking the meaty side up or down? Or do you turn it during the smoking process? If so, how frequently?
