    4 Butts in MES 30

    Thanks for the Ideas! Yeah definitely learned its limitations today.... wont repeat this mistake. I think having the tray to catch the drippings was my downfall... it was to close to the heating element

    4 Butts in MES 30

    Depends on your cooking vessel an temp. The switch to the oven really sped up the cooking time! If the MES was used the whole way, I'd say it'd been more like 24 to 26h

    4 Butts in MES 30

    Well everyone. Apparently smoking 4 butts at once isnt slower, it is FASTER! Much Faster!!!! Well, totally didnt see this one coming. So luckily I use a wireless thermometer, and had my chamber temp monitored and set to alarm at 275. I'm getting ready and setting things up inside and I hear...

    4 Butts in MES 30

    5 hours in and at 139 and 135. Chamber at 225. I de panned both trays and only have a smaller pan centered at the bottom to catch some of the drippings. Could not fit the butts and pans in a staggering pattern, not enough clearance on the top level. Still technically have 23h till serving...

    4 Butts in MES 30

    Temp already up to 220F Only problem is the AMNPS is to close to the heating element causing pellets to burn out fast. May just load chips in periodically. I panned them because I was worried about the amount of fat dripping out and overloading the drip tray.

    SoFlaQuer's Finishing Sauce (For Pulled Pork)

    So base on all the recommendations, I'm going to use this finishing sauce for the 4 pork butts I'm smoking on Saturday. This is the first time EVER that I'm using a finishing sauce, and have no clue how much to mix in? Say for a 10 lb Butt, do a use 1 cup of finished sauce evenly distributed...

    Boston butt money muscle

    Capicola is also made from the money muscle. My local butcher trims it out for me and sells it as the same price of a butt! He uses the trimmings for sausage.

    What to Smoke for Large Group (40 ppl) MES 30

    Thanks a lot everyone for all the great recipes and ideas! Ok, I may give 4 a shot after all. Taking the day before off so will leave time if run into trouble. I've held butts in a cooler before, and with 4 I'm sure they would hold for 4 to 6 hours easy.
