    Pulled Pork

    I'm smoking an 8lb butt for a birthday party tomorrow and my POS Taylor thermometer crapped out.  No problem...I just use my instant read.  As I'm probing around I noticed that the bone in side is 10-15 degrees behind the other side.  Cut it in half and let the bone in side run another hour...

    Begging for Rib HELP

    I run a butter knife up the second bone from the small end under the membrane and lift it away from the rib.  Then grab a piece of paper towel and pull it away.

    Pork Loin Temp.

    I wouldn't go past 150...you'll have carry over.  Loin is lean and will dry out.

    That's Brisk-et baby! w/q-views

    Ok...what is the fix for this.  As a MES 30 owner I am forced to separate the point from the flat on a large packer and smoke them separately.

    New MES 30" User - Novice Smoker - First Use Tips?

    They'll turn out great...don't dump a bunch in in the beginning and just keep the chip tray fed.  Ribs are a lot easier than butt or brisket without the AMNPS.

    New MES 30" User - Novice Smoker - First Use Tips?

    I think the average consumer doesn't know what "good smoke" is.  For them the MES's will still produce decent results.  The AMNPS just makes it a much better product.

    MES newbie question

    Hi and welcome...no soaking neccesary.  You'll have to add chips every 30-40 minutes or purchase a smoke generator.

    What MES 30 should I get?

    IMHO not worth worrying about for a ~$200 smoker.

    What MES 30 should I get?

    I know the next gen had controller issues...can‘t say if the one you're looking at does or not.

    What MES 30 should I get?

    I bought a new one (controls in the front) in 02/13...lasted a week.  Swapped it out for a gen 1 ... I think model 20070910.  Works perfect.
