    My first attempt at smoking a brisket

    Every smoke is different. I took a brisket flat to 203 and it was so mushy it was a roast. Nice work!

    Catering bill

    Wow, that's a big smoke!  Congrats, sounds like it went well.  But wouldn't this be something that would be negotiated before an event?

    How important is temperature

    How important is actual cooking temp? I mean, I see a lot of debate about 225, 240, 275, etc. Is it really that critical? Is 225 in 8 hours the same as 240 in 7 1/2?

    Pork Butt & Beef Brisket

    WiFi Meat Thermometer

    I've often thought it would be nice to check my meat temps while I'm out and about running errands.  Like you said, have the unit upload data to a website so you can access it remotely.

    I think that's the deal for me, I'll smoke them before they have a chance to freezer burn.  I bought 3, plan to smoke 1 on Saturday for a pool party we are attending.  Think I'll go back and buy about 3 more.

    Going to use my MES 30 for the first time

    I've had the same experience, the meats are always better the next day after sitting in the refrigerator.
