    First Smoke - Pulled Pork

    6 1/2 hours in, just pulled it at 166 and foiled.  Finish at 230 until 205 internal, correct?

    First Smoke - Pulled Pork

    Having the "Black charred chips" issue with little to no smoke rather than burning to white ash.  Have tried wet and dry chips, same deal.  The hickory still smells great, though. At the 5 1/2 hour mark, holding steady at 160 degrees.  Thinking of pulling it soon to foil it.  Would like to eat...

    First Smoke - Pulled Pork

    About 4 hours in, and holding steady around 155 degrees.  Remove and foil at 165, correct?  Then put back in until 205?

    First Smoke - Pulled Pork

    yep, smell nothing but hickory now.  Before, it was just garlic from the rub.

    First Smoke - Pulled Pork

    I'm using the 30' MES.  And, I'm about 45 minutes in at 225.  No smoke at all yet.

    First Smoke - Pulled Pork

    So, I think I screwed up.  I preheated for an hour at 275, then putt the shoulder in, added chips, and set to 225. Should I have had the chips in for the preheating process?

    First Smoke - Pulled Pork

    Breaking the new MES in tomorrow with a 4lb Boston Butt.  About to start making my rub to get it prepped for tomorrow.  Quick question.  I've read that I should foil the water pan for drippings.  Make sense, but I've also seen that some people use an aluminum roaster pan instead of putting the...

    MES 30" question

    True.  I will get a better feel for how much smoke is coming through this weekend.  TBS, right? ;) Just the top part of the damper is missing, so I can see the 4 holes.  I should be fine, right?

    MES 30" question

    Just seasoned my new MES. Only put the chips in for the last 45 minutes.  Had ALOT of smoke.  Looked at the chips, a few on the top were turning to ash, while most were black.  But again, that was only 45 minutes, and I didnt do any soaking. Also, mine came with the vent damper missing.  I'm...

    30' MES for $134.99!

    How's that for a 1st post?  Thanks to this board I decided to join the smoker world with a new MES.  Bought the Walmart one for $167, and was awaiting the site-to-store delivery (which takes forever!).  So, I was at Lowe's today, and stopped by the Grill area. There was a MES for $179.00. ...
