    New and a bit confused

    As I look through the forums, I keep finding "sticky" posts. What are they supposed to be?

    Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)

    And it is done. Don't mind saying, I am just a little impressed with myself. Thanks for all the advice. One mistake I made was buying a butt wrapped in cord. I should have removed it before I smoked it. When I cut it and pulled it off, it took a lot of the bark with it. The remaining bark is...

    Stuffed/Wrapped Jalapenos

    Peppers look great. About how long and at what temp? My wife and I would love to try some of these.

    Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)

    Ready to smoke my first butt tomorrow. I am hoping to get a bark on the butt. I really like the bark! Does wrapping in foil during cooking or while resting do anything to the bark?

    New masterbuilt 40 how often do you add chips?

    Ok. Sold. I am going to buy an AMNPS soon. Do you buy your pellets from the same place? Are there different kinds, like hickory, apple, etc.? Will I be throwing my supply of chips away, or will I still be using them at times? Looking forward to trying my hand at a pork butt soon!

    First time-not as I hoped

    I want to thank everyone for all the tips. Had to take a break for camp with the scouts, but when I got home I was ready to smoke. I intended to smoke some chicken wings, but bought legs instead. Apparently I was tired after camping. Smoked the legs at 260-270 for about 2 hours and finished them...

    Today's Drums and Thighs smoke...

    Looks good. I hope I get a similar result. I had intended to smoke some wings and finish them on the grill. Today I realized I bought drumsticks instead of drummies.  That's what I get for shopping after camping with the boy scouts for a week. Anyway, I just started a mess of legs at 250-275...

    New masterbuilt 40 how often do you add chips?

    I think I am missing something. I have an MES 40.  If I get an amazen, where do I place it in the MES? In the chip tray?  Also, I was wondering if I could use wood chunks? I thought the MES instructions said no, but then you guys have figured out a few workarounds.

    First time-not as I hoped

    I like the smoke stack idea, but I am thinking it will null the extended warranty.

    Outdoor storage

    I was thinking of building something like this for my MES 40. Possibly integrating it into a larger unit that would also hold my grill. Do you have any problem with heat build up inside the structure? The manual says 10 FEET away from wooden structures, but that seemed a bit extreme since I...

    First time-not as I hoped

    Thanks for the help. I was looking at a Smoking Time and Temperature chart that told me 155 for medium. Doing smoked burgers tonight. I will leave out the water and keep the vent open.
