    What's the highest cooking temp for a Boston butt?

    Max temp for a pork butt is about 205.  Anything past that and it gets mushy and dry. I have two on right now that I plan to take to 200 IT. Ted is correct, remove the one that is at 197 and let it rest for a while.  It is ready to pull. Bill

    Questionable beef ribs

    I think as long as they smell okay and the color is good you should be okay; however, if something doesn't feel right to you take them back to the store and express your concern. Better safe than sorry. Bill

    wood in a WSM?

    Hi Drew, I don't remember seeing that but I can tell you that using all wood would not give you the burn time you would get with a briquette. Also, I think everyone uses wood chunks, so we are obviously burning wood and have not had problems. Let me know if you hear something different. Bill

    Maverick ET 808c

    Never used it and never even heard of it.  I can tell you that in the world of digital thermometers you get what you pay for.... The best bang for your buck is the Maverick ET-732.  Costs about $70 but well worth it! Good luck and be sure to tell us how it worked out for you. Bill

    Open Letter to Masterbuilt re: MES 30

    Hi O, It would probably server you better to contact Masterbuilt directly.  Many of us have contacted MasterBuilt with customer service issues and their response has been good. I agree that they have a QC issue, but my larger concern is that even though they respond well with customer service...
