    Deboning knives

    LOOKING FOR OPINIONS

    I started with a stick burner and after a tree fell on it i couldn't afford to replace it so i bought the MES 40. They are different from a stick burner.

    I have 2 calibrated thermometers. 1 for making sure of the smoking temperature.

    Will 40 pounds of pork butt fit in an MES 30?

    Feeding the masses !!

    If you use measuring scoops for everything including the Pulled pork. Then you can figure out how much finished product you will need per person. most 3 portion clam shells have 2 sections that are 2 oz and the main section is 4 oz. some are 3 oz and 6 oz. . use a 2 oz scoop for the sides and...

    MES gen 2, model 20070613
