    Pork Butt on the MES 40

    Sorry fellas it just wasn't in the cards for me to do that this time, unless I pulled it out of the smoker at 170 and tried to pull.  I set it in the oven at 5am to rest and came home around noon to put it in the fridge.  I'm pretty jammed packed at work preparing for an important meeting...

    Pork Butt on the MES 40

    20 hours later we might finally be getting somewhere... Pulled around 5:15 MST. I decided to transfer the pork to a smaller foil pan, where it fell apart off the bone as I did.  I wrapped it up in foil and put it in the oven.  I'll let it cool in there for several hours and hopefully around...

    Pork Butt on the MES 40

    Well it's getting late and I finally went out and tried to just move the internal probe around in the meat, still getting similar readings at 170.  It seemed like the pork pulled gently when I was moving it.  I guess I won't take a chance and will just let it set in the MES overnight. I added...

    Pork Butt on the MES 40

    So I foiled this butt 3 hours ago at 164 temp... It's sitting at a whopping 170 right now.  I know that there is generally a stall time but can it be that long? Should I be checking my foil wrap, or try to move my internal probe?

    Pork Butt on the MES 40

    When I first moved out to northwest Kansas and got in busy season with my job and I was trying to find a place to live... I don't think I could describe the withdrawals I was having from not touching my smoker for what must've been 3 months.... I don't think I could survive through the entire...

    Pork Butt on the MES 40

    Well I think I've tried it a few times now.. The first time was for a tailgate butt a year and a half ago.  My buddy and I decided we didn't like that much vinegar.  So the 2nd time I tried it over the summer (5th of July Butt I have here on the forums) and I reduced the vinegar, added more...

    Pork Butt on the MES 40

    I got an itching to try a long cook in my new smoker, and what better way than some pulled pork?  Rubbed down with Jeff's rub and wrapped up overnight.   Pulled out of the fridge around 8:30 a.m. Started warming up the MES and unwrapped this 9# beauty.   Excited to try my new rib rack/roast...

    Smoking Thighs question

    Chicken thighs/leg quarters are definitely one of my favorites!! Very cheap and easy to make!! I have a MES 40 as well that I'm still learning how to cook them in.  Unfortunately it cannot get up 300 to crisp the skin so I just turn it up to the max 275 and go from there... This last time I...

    First Timer Cold Smoking Cheese

    I did not think about saran wrap.  I will see if I have any and use it on the rest of the cheeses.  Unfortunately I put each thing of cheese in its own quart bag... So I test using at different periods in time when I use.  The quart bag is too big but the smallest I could find, next time I will...
