    Injected pork butt and still a little dry...?

    Last night I injected a pork butt for the second time ever because I just wanted more flavor throughout, not anything to do with moistness. I used pellets in my MES with little water and some sand in the water pan, for context. Anyhow, I cranked it up to about 275 for the first few hours cause I...

    Pulled chicken, using chicken breasts?

    I already know the answer, I did a lot of searching on here and everyone uses thighs, but saw a few that have done it successfully with breasts. I just bought 40lbs of chicken breasts at Restaurant Depot and a friend asked me to make pulled chicken for his Super Bowl party...so I don't want to...

    Just joined from Cleveland, Ohio

    Hey there everyone - I bought a Masterbuilt electric (I know, electric is not ideal) 30 cu in smoker last year and have been frequenting this forum since, so I figured I'd drop in. Thanks already for the advice you didn't know you gave! I'm really just a casual, gameday and party type user but...

    Spare ribs and pork butt together?

    I'm new here so I apologize if this question has already been answered, but I couldn't find it. I have to be doing something wrong, I know. Anyhow, I have 4 slabs of spare ribs and an 8lb butt that I plan on injecting and doing a rub for tomorrow. I'm trying to get a nice bark on the butt and...
