    Pork butt cooking too fast? Tried to follow Bears step by step

    I was just going to turn the smoker down to 100 and let it hang out in there actually, just keep it wrapped up and call that good, or is that a bad plan?

    Pork butt cooking too fast? Tried to follow Bears step by step

    Currently the butt is at 198 and smoker at 220. Guess i'll take it out of the smoker when it hits over 200 and let it sit for like a half hour then pull it apart?

    Pork butt cooking too fast? Tried to follow Bears step by step

    I'm using a Maverick redi check smoker thermometer with the smoker and food temp probes. I moved the probe into different spots 4 times because I thought maybe it was hitting the bone or something and still got the same reading.

    First smoke ever - Boston Butt

    I started the exact same time as you and same temp. 11:30 my temp was almost to 180, I think yours looks like it's doing better then mine for some reason. I foiled mine already and dropped the temp. There's barely a bark on mine, it's just falling apart

    Pork butt cooking too fast? Tried to follow Bears step by step

    Well I started my pork butt this morning at 7:30 on my MES 30" 11:30 I put my probe in and it reads 179. I think this is a 7.5lb butt. Is that too fast? Had smoker set at 220 the entire time. I pulled it out and foiled it in the dripping pan I had under it and dropped the temp to 210. Did I do...

    Hello from Ohio. Smoking in the cold today!

    I ordered mine off amazon. How do you know which GEN smoker you have? I thought mine would come with an internal built in meat probe, but sadly it didn't

    First smoke in MES Ribs 3-3-1 Q-VIEW Pics inside

    That's what I was going for so great! I did the 3-2-1 when I had that propane smoker and they turned out pretty tough. Very good smoke but they were just not how I wanted them. We'll see shortly!

    First smoke in MES Ribs 3-3-1 Q-VIEW Pics inside

    Well I found out how well this smoker is insulated today, as you can see there's still a bunch of snow on the ground here in northwestern Ohio. Doing a slab of ribs and some injected wings. I'm going to try 3-3-1 for these, this picture is at the 3 hour mark when I foiled them with a half a can...

    Hello from Ohio. Smoking in the cold today!

    I'm very surprised by how well insulated this smoker is, got up to temp and barely budges off of it. I imagine it's close to zero with the wind chill. Doesn't eat wood chips nearly as fast as that old one I had. I think I made a good choice this time by going electric and doing my homework! Just...

    Hello from Ohio. Smoking in the cold today!

    Hi guys, I bought a junk propane smoker last year and after using it decided it wasn't for me. Did some research and got a 30" MES that I seasoned yesterday. It's about 8 degrees and stupid windy right now. My smoker is on the patio warming up. I have a rack of ribs I put mustard on, then my dry...
