    Butt for the 4th

    11:00 pm I put in an 8 pound Boston Butt, Jeffs rub, pitmasters choice pellets in my Amazen tray. Smoking at 235 until it hits 203. No wrapping, no spritzing. Unless by 9 or 10 am it's still at a stall then I'll foil it. It's suppose to rain around 3 or 4 and although I have a little shelter...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Yea 20 degrees lower is about normal really for the MES 40. I like to keep the probe on the rack behind the food I'm cooking which is on the second rack from the bottom. If my smoker is full with food on all the racks I still leave it in the same place.

    Brand new MES 40

    I put my 5x8 amazen tray on the bottom of the smoker, next to the heating element, with the lit end facing the back of the smoker and next to the element. I find with it placed this way it stays lit at the beginning of the cook then by the time it burns the first row it's the burning pellets...

    Boston Butt on new MES 40 Q-View

    I never spritz. I know it's personal preferences but I find it's unnecessary.

    NCAA tournament

    I thought my wildcats/ucla game was a great game and even better cuz UK won. I'm anxiously awaiting tomorrow's game with North Carolina. We snagged a 103-100 win over them a few months ago, with monk scoring 47 points. Hopefully history will repeat...

    NCAA tournament

    Been here in Lexington since 1975. Been a cats fan the whole time. Still am! I bleed blue and although I'm aware they've had their struggles this year I think they have the talent and will go all the way! But any things possible in basketball...

    MES not enough smoke - have the AMNPS

    My AMPS works perfectly on the bottom of the smoker, shielded under the water pan, next to the heat element. Also using the chip loader for air flow adjustments. I put the AMPS in the smoker with the lit end towards the rear and next to the heat element. I found that it helps the AMPS stay lit...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    An AMPS that's in a smoker that stays lit and burns perfectly will provide an incredible amount of smoke flavor in meats. Even too much for some. So if your amps is hard to keep lit in your smoker, then even if you manage to keep it lit it's not gonna provide as much smoke flavor as it will in a...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I'm wondering if you just used the vortex pellets in the amps if it'd stay lit better for those with problems. I mean the pellets they sell for it are 30% charcoal, no wonder it stays lit.

    Walmart Beef ribs

    They tasted great, didn't quite come off the bone the way we like. My baby backs and St. Louis are so much better. We like fall off the bone and if I can get the beef ribs that way I'd be so happy!

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I never have any problems with mine on the bottom of the smoker under the water pan with the lit end towards the rear and next to the heat element. Chip tray removed, chip loader pulled out a few inches in the dump position.
