Ive had my MES Gen2 (30", no window) for awhile now, I like it but it never gave enough smoke beyond the first 30 mins or so. I bought an A-Maze-N pellet smoker 5x8 tray and for its first use, I smoked up a pork butt last weekend. It was only a 4lb butt, but took almost 14 hours for it to hit...
Thanks guys. I just did a 14 hour smoke at 220 degrees on a pork butt, I took it up to 200 internal temp and it turned out great. The bark tho had almost a bitter aftertaste, which got me to thinking maybe I need to clean the grease off like you guys do.

I think I am going to try that, smoking it at 300 and keep it whole. How long did you say that should take? I just want to make sure I get it on the smoker with enough time so its done before 5 or 6 hungry guys start raiding my kitchen because the smell of smoking pork is too much for them...
