    My First Butt coming this Sunday, a few questions?

    Yeah as far as the juices I understand why people do the mopping or spritzing, maybe a little extra flavor? But Boston Butts have so much fat they stay moist as long and you cook slow.?!?!

    My First Butt coming this Sunday, a few questions?

    I am glad you posted because I just saw your post, so you didn't do the wrapping method? So just keep it going the whole time? Also no spraying anything?

    MES 30/40 owners, how often do you clean?

    I assume you let the juices and chunks of previous smoke add flavor to the future smokes? :D. I do that with my grill. Only replace the foil one every other year, other then that keeps it flavored. I wasn't sure if you could do that with a smoker because they don't get as hot

    MES 30/40 owners, how often do you clean?

    I forgot what about the water pan? And as far as the racks do you give them a good scrub or just get some of the chunks off?

    MES 30/40 owners, how often do you clean?

    Just wondering? I know to do the seals every time after a smoke but what about the racks? Ever give the inside a good scrub? I clean the drip pan, racks, and door seals every time but I think that might not be needed, minus the seals. Any thoughts?

    30" MES - Which model to get

    I just got a 11 at a cabelas yesterday. I am not sure where u are at but the store near me (buda, tx) has another one in the box. Not sure if they do store to store. The cabelas one comes with a meat probe built in. I have not tested its accuracy yet but kind of a cool bonus. They will...
