    Read where temp to cook pork butts is anywhere between 225F and 240F. I cooked three 5-pound pork butts this weekend with my 30" MES set at 230F. I assumed 2 hrs per pound or a "total" cooking time of 10 hours. After almost 12 hours temps of butts still at 165F or so. I understand stalling...

During seasoning breakin, put in chips with 45 minutes remaining at 275F.  It took almost 30 minutes for dry chips to start smoking.  Reading some threads, it seems keeping the smoke going at 160F to 190F (Salmon temps), is difficult.

    Switching from Masterbuilt Propane 40" to MES 30"

    Getting rid of my Masterbuilt 40" propane smoker.  Primary reason is temperature control.  Maybe it is me...don't know...but never have been able to keep the temperature below 200F.  Have it set to lowest setting and no chips and it still reaches and stays around 200F.  Not good for salmon and...
