ELECTRIC SMOKER HELP!!
The Maverick 732 is tried and true. I'll bet a dollar to a donut that your IT of your smoker is off. The Mav 732 should give you an accurate reading of what the temp REALLY is in your smoker. MES are notorious for being way off their digital temp. So...smoke at 225 until you get the butt to... -
New and Need Advice
For an 8 pounder, figure ABOUT 2 hrs per pound at 225. Make sure you know what your temps are. I think a lot of meat gets screwed up because folks don't know the IT temp of their smoker. You're looking for a meat temp at around 200. Might be 200 at the small end and 195 in the thick part... -

Bacon Slicer???
Does anyone have/use/recommend a bacon slicer? There's a local place here that will do it, but they want $1 per pound to slice it. I have been using my 10" slicer, but I want a more uniform and consistent product.- mfreel

I'm a creature of habit. I wish the search bar was still at the top. My avatar is so fuzzy that you can't tell what it is. IMHO.- mfreel

Smoking cheese for the first time.......
Since you're using the AMNPS, and it's fairly cool, I don't think you'll need any ice. But, it won't hurt anything either. Looks like your vents are open. Good. 2 hours is really conservative. Consider going 3. What wood are you using?- mfreel

Pulled Pork in advance
Ditto on 40% loss. I've weighed mine before and that's about right. Do 2 butts. -
Pulled Pork in advance
My general plan is 2 hrs per lb. So...a 7 lb butt will take about 14 hours. That's APPROXIMATE time. The thing I like about butts is that if you're done early, put the pulled pork in a crock pot or other roasting pan, add some apple juice with a little rub, seal tight and keep it warm... -

More Baked Beans
I tried this recipe last week. I soaked the beans overnight and did this recipe, but the beans were still too crunchy. This batch was worth the effort! They have a sweet flavor with all of the brown sugar, syrup and molasses, but they also have a real KICK at the end with the cayenne pepper...- mfreel

1st butt, inject or not?
I vote no injection. Slather it with yellow mustard. Add your rub and throw it in. No need to let it sit overnight, either. -
How much to cook?
Personally, a half pound (smoked) per person is generous. That's my general rule plus a little extra.- mfreel

Crispier Wing Help
275 is hot for wings, IMHO. I prefer 250. 2 hours is also a little on the longer side for me. That't probably why they got a little dark. I'll bet they were on the crispy side, too. BUT...Who cares?!?! If they turned out, make some more! -

40" Master built.
Some additional details would be helpful. You have it set at 160 and it's only getting to 129, right? What kind of thermometer are you using to monitor the IT of your smoker? MESs are notorius for the internal probes being off. 30 degrees isn't uncommon. It's similar to mine.- mfreel
