Baby back ribs vs. Boston Butt
Sorry, I am using a MES 30. I did notice some temp swings when smoking the Boston Butt. I assume 2-2-1 means 2 hours in, then 2 hours with foil, then 1 without foil? If not using foil, then what does the 2-2-1 mean? -
Baby back ribs vs. Boston Butt
I successfully smoked my first Boston Butt a couple of weeks ago so now I'm attempting my first baby back ribs. I've be reading a lot about people using the 3-2-1 method so I'm thinking I will follow it, unless anyone suggests a different way. My question is I don't see anyone using the... -

Thanks Bear, appreciate all the help. One more question for my next smoke, any idea why it took almost 17 hours to reach 201* IT with the MES 30 set to 250*? -

Smoking first Boston Butt, need some advice
AMNPS was completely burned out -
Smoking first Boston Butt, need some advice
Update: Meat finally hit 201* and I took it out. Total time in the smoker was almost a full 17 hours. MES 30 was set at 250* (Maverick 733 read it at 270* most of the time) so I'm not sure why it took so long. Any ideas on that? I'm not sure when the AMNPS ran out of smoke but the meat... -
Smoking first Boston Butt, need some advice
Yeah, Bear is the man, I've been picking his brain all day today. Btw, thanks again Bear for all your help, it's much appreciated. Bear, I've read that many people take the meat and let it sit for about an hour before doing anything, do you recommend waiting the hour and then pulling it or... -

Ok, I'll leave it in until 200*. 8 hour mark and IT is 165*, not sure if it's in the stall, just gonna let it keep going :) -
Smoking first Boston Butt, need some advice
Another question, I'm estimating my cook to be done around 2am (or 190* IT), so once it reaches that temp and I take it out, what do I do with it until lunch/dinner time tomorrow? Just wrap it in foil and put it in the fridge? -

I am using a AMNPS :) I haven't opened it up to look at the meat (the MES 30 has no window). At the 4 hour mark, the IT is 131* -
Smoking first Boston Butt, need some advice
I have a makeshift block up now and I'm seeing a lot of white smoke coming it of the vent now. Is that good? Thought I wanted thin blue smoke. Im about 3 hours in and smoker temp is 250* and meat is 115* IT. Does the meat look normal? -

Smoking first Boston Butt, need some advice
Update: Finally got my smoke started, set the MES 30 to 240* but the Maverick 733 is reading it at 260*, could the MES be they far off or is the Maverick wrong? Also, sort of a windy day so I'm not seeing smoke out of the top vent so a little worried about the AMNPS -
Smoking first Boston Butt, need some advice
Great advice, can't wait to do this tomorrow. Any suggestions for a good rub or is that taboo to ask? :) -
Smoking first Boston Butt, need some advice
So is there a secret to getting the AMNPS good and lit to ensure it doesn't go out? Or do you just light it and let it smoke for a few mins before putting out in the MES 30?
