    My first Butt.... (Updated: The Butt is Done - Qview)

    I finised seasoning my MES30 earlier this morning. I am planning to smoke my first butt. I picked up a 9.3lbs butt from the store. It was the smallest they had, so I am in for a long smoke. I will probably cook it at 230-240 degrees. I have the rub on and wrapped while it is sitting in the...

    Is wrapping a butt in plastic necessary?

    I have a MES30. I am seasoning the smoker right now. I am planning to pick up the butt later today and apply the rub. I was planning to start the smoke in the morning but may start it tonight based on some of the threads I read where the butt can take longer than expected. That means it would...

    Is wrapping a butt in plastic necessary?

    I have been reading about the preparation of pork butts. It seems like many wrap the butt in plastic once the rub is added and placed in the refrigerator. Is wrapping the butt in plastic necessary? It seems like a lot of the rub and mustard would come off by doing so. Is there a minimum amount...

    Dented MES30. Do I need to be worried?

    I've reached out to Masterbuilt and will see what they have to say. Normally I wouldn't accept it if it is damaged, but I am anxious to try my first smoke this weekend. It is times like these I wished I purchased it from a local store and not online. I can probably live with it if it is just a...

    need advice for new a-maze-on pellet smoker

    My AMNPS should be coming in today. I decided to do the mailbox mod when using them. That seems to have given good results to other MES users.

    Dented MES30. Do I need to be worried?

    I received my MES30 yesterday and once I removed all of the packaging, I noticed a dent in the back corner. The box was in good shape and the packaging was fine. I am assuming this is something that occurred at the manufacturer and got through their quality control. Anyway, do I need to be...
