    Pork Butt Stall? Sliding Temps

    Currently cooking two butts for a get together this weekend. One of my (calibrated) thermometers was reading a temp of 190 before quickly falling down to 177. I’ve seen cooks in the past go backward but never this fast or this drastic. Is this stall related? MES electric smoker at 270.

    Pulled Pork + Football

    Planning first overnight smoke w/ COLD temps

    Im about to purchase a PID for my mes and intrigued by the WiFi model (WSD1500HW). Does anyone have experience with this controller? Is it worth the extra cost? I have a “hybrid” Bluetooth/WiFi thermometer that will not work if I’m sitting inside the house (not even 10 yards away). Does this...

    Adios Masterbuilt!

    I woke up early this AM to throw on some ribs for some family. Within the first 20 minute of the smoke it was apparent my remote had gone bad. The temp was reading 32 degrees while my grilleye was reading 225. The smoker was stuck in a continuous warm up cycle since the smoker thought it was...

    MES 2nd Attempt- Additional Concerns

    So I smoked a pork butt this weekend. This was my second attempt with the MES 130 and thanks to others on this forum on their recommendations, I was happy with it. Better bark and smoke production with the a-maz-n pellet maze led to a great smoke! The meat was so tender that it fell apart when I...
