    How to get more smoke flavor in a boston butt on the MES?

    Very interesting... Well, you've got me stumped.  Sounds as if you have nailed everything down that I can think of.

    How to get more smoke flavor in a boston butt on the MES?

    Ok, next question so we know what your expectations are. You mention it doesn't have as much smoke flavor as it "should" for pulled pork. What are you basing the amount on? From what I read most "commercial" versions are prepped with liquid smoke which would be stronger but not as "good".

    How to get more smoke flavor in a boston butt on the MES?

    Have you ever tried to run it up to 200+ without foil wrapping? Vent wide open?  have you tired shutting it 1/2 way? I'm a novice, so feel free to disregard the advice.  However, logic says if you want more smoke you need to expose the meat to more smoke by either containing the smoke in the...

    AMNPS Catches fire in mailbox, but goes out in MES40!

    Plugged the holes on the bottom by using a sheet of foil across the bottom. After my Brisket was done I swapped out the AMNPS into the mailbox and lit her up. This time, however, I threw the pellets in the microwave for a couple minutes first to hopefully dry them out. Lit both sides and...

    AMNPS Catches fire in mailbox, but goes out in MES40!

    The extended exhaust & fan is what I call my "Happier Wife" mod.  Meaning, the smoke is exhausted right beside the fan, not connected, and upon leaving the extention is grabbed by the fan and sent out the window instead of staying in the garage and leaking into the house. There should be no...

    Getting the best deal on a smoker (right now)

    Dad always said, when buying equipment spend the extra and buy good equipment and I'll only need to buy it once. Personally, I only use thermoworks thermometers these days for cooking or brewing.
