    First try at a pork butt, any suggestions?

    I was more concerned that it didn't stall. Thought I did something wrong. With that said, I'm guessing it could stall on the way from 165 to 200 right?

    Ah, ok. Thanks for the quick reply. Not knowing what I'm doing sucks! LOL

    First try at a pork butt, any suggestions?

    I've also read about stalls. Do all pork butts stall? I ask because from what I read, it usually happens around 150* IT. Mine flew through 150* and has went up to 158* since my last post.

    First try at a pork butt, any suggestions?

    8lb bone in. I was guessing at 14 hours smoke time. I'm using apple wood. I started the smoke at 6am this morning. The IT just hit 157*. After dealing with adding wood chips every 20 mins, I placed an order for an AMNPS a few minutes ago. Next weekends smoke should be a touch easier...

    First try at a pork butt, any suggestions?

    I forgot to ask, am I supposed to put the butt in a foil pan or on the rack. I want to collect the juices that come out, correct?

    First try at a pork butt, any suggestions?

    Awesome!! Thanks guys! I used mustard on the last batch of ribs and from what I read, you can't taste the mustard and that was true. I can't wait to try this!

    First try at a pork butt, any suggestions?

    Well I'm really getting into this smoking thing. First batch of ribs were some of the worst I've had. Second batch were the BEST I've had. Learned a lot so far. Wanna try to smoke a butt now to have some pulled pork. I'll be using my MES-40. Any of you all have any good suggestions on...

    2nd attempt at baby backs

    Yesterday, I made my second attempt at smoking baby back ribs. If you read my first attempt, you know it was a bust. I used SAMs ribs and removed the membrane. Rubbed with mustard then a good rub of seasoning. This time, I used a different thermometer that I had tested via the boil method...

    Tried babybacks tonight.

    Ok, after messing around with the Internet, racking my brain and a few trial and error items, I may have fixed it. I was attempting to be proactive (aka: Lazy) and put some aluminum pans in the smoker below the meat to catch any drippings in an attempt to make cleanup go faster. I got to...

    Tried babybacks tonight.

    Ok I'm trying again today. Bought a new thermometer (maverick ET-73) I wanted the ET 732 but couldn't find one locally and didn't have the money earlier in the week to order online and I had to have it for today. I plan on getting one later on. I tested the thermometer using the boiling...

    Thank you for this info. Can you tell me where you got the AMNPS, Maverick ET 732 and the Thermapen from? If i can find these items local, I'm going to attempt a pork butt this weekend. Thanks, Bodie

    Tried babybacks tonight.

    The MES is new and has the window so I could still see through the window so I didn't have to open the door. I didn't check the actual temps, not sure how to do that either. I just watched the remote temp thermometer, I'm just not sure how accurate it is. I used to (please don't kill me)...

    Tried babybacks tonight.

    Prep: MES 40 Smoker set to 225* Ribs rubbed with seasoning. (Didn't take off membrane, I couldn't figure out how :-)) Placed ribs in smoker for 2 hours bones down. I added wood chips half way through. After two hours, I removed ribs and wrapped them in foil. Foil had brown sugar, parkay...

    Tried babybacks tonight.

    Well it sure isn't as easy as you see on TV. I tried the 2-2-1 method and sad to say, I failed. The ribs had a great smoke flavor but were definitely not fall off the bone. There was no bark and they were tough as boot leather. My guess is not long enough somewhere? I had a feeling it...

    New to smoking and haven't a clue!

    David, Thanks for the quick response! What is a Amnps? I'm guessing some sort of smoking unit? I went ahead and put foil pans on the racks between the racks of meat. If anything, it should help with the clean up. Baby backs are rubbed and tucked into the smoker. Timer set for 2...

    New to smoking and haven't a clue!

    I just bought a MES40. Last night I put it through the seasoning session so that's taken care of. This is gonna get a little long winded so please bear with me. I've been reading these forums but I'm just seeing pics of people's food that makes me want to smoke but doesn't answer the...
