The above photo is taken at 4 hours when I opened it up to add more smoke.
The butt is now off the smoker - it was on for total of 14 hours at 225 to 240 deg F.

There is a 1/4-1/2" hole on the back wall of the smoker which I assume is the vent. Pretty tricky for bugs to get in, but just wide enough for my temp probe wire. Good advice! Thanks!
I bought my MES 30" from Cabelas sight unseen and had it delivered. You can always return it and based on the feedback on the MES line you can't go wrong.

I just bought a MES 30" analog from Cabelas (http://www.masterbuilt.com/prod-smokers-analogue.html)! It was on sale for $159 including shipping.
Once the weather gets warmer I can't wait to get smokin'!
