Maverick ET-732 Slow Response Time - Accurate?
I have a Maverick ET-732 and an Isport (). All 3 read 211-212F in boiling water but the Maverick takes MUCH longer to finally read 211-212F. I have a MES 30 and they were all 20F within one another at one point (ee.g. 200F, 220F, and 240F). I was surprised they all read 212F in boiling water...- sagosto

1st Brisket
My apologies as I missed the replies to this e-mail thread. I hear what everyone is saying. I am also willing to accept that some take longer than others. However, if it was DRY as a bone at 182F, how will it be tender/juicy at 202-205F? Also, Jeff's book said to smoke till 190F IT? -
1st Brisket
If it is *DRY* at 182F, what do you think it will be at 200-205F IT?! That would make this 5.75LBS brisket about a 12 hour cook time? That doesn't seem right... -

Boston Pork Butt 2 Ways Questions
Thanks for the reply. Wouldn't the 'finishing sauce' conflict with the main sauce that I would put on the side? Is the finishing sauce a replacement for apple juice/rub to add moisture during rhe reheat process? I am confused about the two. Can I refrigerate the meat with the drippings or should... -
Boston Pork Butt 2 Ways Questions
Thanks for the fast reply. I already have the red BBQ and vinegar sauces that I'd like to use. Would this be the 'finishing sauce"? Would chicken broth be bad idea? Should I reheat via oven at 350F or crockpot? Smoker w/ no wood? Does this mean you just have a pile of meat and leave your... -

Wife made home made gravy and meatballs. As much as I love BBQ, I *LOVE* my wife's gravy. :) I did pick up a 12LBS Boston Butt for $1.69lbs today. I hope it freezes well. -

I don't mind investing in a food saver (is that a brand?) but at first read, it felt like "overkill"? I assumed a moist reheat was possible. How much better is the food saver method? -

Hello, I am a new member from north NJ and just purchased the 30" MES using a 5X8 AMPS w/ pitmaster choice pellets. My wife and I work a lot of hours and have a newborn so we are limited to weekend-only use. I have made 2 smokes so far with the 1st being CostCo ribs (pre-rubbed) @ 275F using the...
