    Pork Baby Backs - 2nd attempt

    So I apologize for only having the ending pic.  The baby backs looked amazing coming out after doing a rough 2.5, 2, 0.5 timing method.   Used a dry rub recipe from right off this site.  As well as one rack got a foiling juice.  Have a couple of questions though.  Had 3 racks total.  Also smoked...

    MES 40 Problems

    Just read your link bear.  You used a AMNPS?  I looked into this website on this.  Don't understand how they work or why someone would use it.  Tried contacting the site a couple of days ago and no response.  Also after 10 hours of smoking my temp internal never got above 175.  Any ideas why?

    MES 40 Pork Butt gone wrong *UPDATE*

    Checked my external thermometer with the boiling water test.  Looks like 212 in boiling water and at my altitude should be roughly 210.1.  Next I will double check the unit.
