    MES Wind Problem Solution

    Bear, I did use water and boiled it in a kettle before adding.  Wondering if that huge water pan acted as a heat sink / heat anchor...  Sits over the heating element holding a steady 212F as long as the water is simmering away.  Is this a lot to overcome?  Perhaps it was more the wind and...

    Another question... if it is a twin pack, one will be frozen.  Should I freeze it while fresh or smoke it and freeze the 2nd???

    Pork Shoulder: 1x12# or 2x6#???

    Thanks for the input from all... It's in Cryovac, so a double sounds reasonable.  Won't know until next week when I get some time to put it on.  Will post back as an FYI for others

    Pork Shoulder: 1x12# or 2x6#???

    Picked up a pork shoulder from Sam's same time as I bought my new MES-40".  Got smallest one they had, but still 12 pounds.  Advice seems to be that pulled pork takes 1.5 hours/pound and 6-8 pounds is a good size.  Should I cut it in half?

    MES Wind Problem Solution

    Wish I had found this a few days ago.  1st use of new MES-40" on a cold, WINDY day in Minnesota.  Never could get temp up.  Not sure if it was too much water from water pan (filled it per instructions, will go dry from here on) but knew the wind had a big impact.  Now I know the wind is a bigger...
