Ok boys and girls. Giving some bone in pork chops a whirl for the first time on my MES 30, bout 3/4"thick. Put some pork rub I got from COSTCO on the meat and going to smoke with cherry at 230, looking for an IT of bout 145-147. Fairly simple. Any thoughts or tips, suggestions? I am doing this...
Ok thanks JJ, maybe I just need to play around with it more and see if I can get it right. I'll close the tray and loader a bit more and make sure my flame goes for 10 mins. I don't have a tent, just the drip tray that comes with the MES30. I kept the meat to the far right so no drippings would...

Yea I agree...I get overwhelmed over all this information as well. My theory as is most is keep it simple. Working for me. The idea of doing it to help keep it moist and speed up the cooking time a bit. But you will loose some of the "bark" and I love the bark. I haven't had an issue with not...
