    8 butts in a 40 inch MES

I would rotate out once they get to 140 to 150 degrees, let the oven take them on up to the 200-210 mark.  Set your oven at 220, foil wrap them and let them go.  I...

    Old smoker new to using smokers

    I've been smoking for years now, on a gas grill, with sam smoker boxes, I have two of them.  I would do it with the two boxes on the outside, burns set low as it goes to keep a flame, and my food item in the middle with no heat.  Yes it worked, but was a real pain to keep it low and slow, a real...
