    First Pork Shoulder in a MES...

    The local Kroger store had pork shoulders for $0.99/lb, so I picked up a couple to try out. Although I've smoked tons of brisket, pork and beef ribs and sausages of all kinds, I've not done any pork shoulders. I started out with an 8 1/2 pounder, slathered on a thin coat of mustard and rubbed...

    I think you might be looking at either a Smoke Hollow grill, or one of their grill smoker combos. 12000 btu is way too much burner to be of much use for slow cooking anything unless you have a really huge smoker... Just my $0.02

    Might want to give Masterbuilt customer service a call. If the unit's only a year old, I'd bet they'll fix you up with a solution...

    It 'appears' to have the same features as the 20070311. However, I'm going by the pictures and description on the Masterbuilt site...

    I've purchased 3 MES 40" from Academy Sports (two of 'em when they had the $299/free ship sale) and all 3 were perfect! In addition, all 3 were the 1200 W windowed all-stainless version and all 3 had the small chip box that was replaced free by Masterbuilt customer service by making a phone call...!

    What are folks payng for pork ribs, on average? In Tomball, I've caught both baby backs and St Louis style for $1.97 /lb several times this year and fill the freezer whenever they're on sale...anyone else have a similar strategy?

    Yep...that would be my advice too, cheifwej... I'm actually going there later today to pick myself up a second one. Can't resist at that price, especially since they seem to be getting a bit scarce!

    Academy Sports and Outdoors has the MES 40" ALL STAINLESS 2nd generation version for $299 + $15 shipping...(if you don't live near one)  Not too sure how long the sale is on, but this is the same one I have and it's a keeper!

    At the risk of getting slammed...you guys DO realize that Sam's and WalMart are the same company and get their products from the same suppliers, right???
