    8 Butts in the MES

    Sorry dudes, I spent the entire weekend feeding ~130 people at the Granite Curling Club in Seattle, breakfast/lunch/dinner, and slacked on the picture posting. I was starting to feel like a caterer, though I am far from. Along with the ~70lbs of smoked pork shoulder I also roasted ~80lbs of NY...

    8 Butts in the MES

    It's GREAT to finally see the meat in the smoker when you have been obsessively reading meat smoking posts for a week in anticipation. I just put 8 Boston Butts in the smoker, 71lbs, for an event at the Curling Club this weekend. It might be a late night .... good thing I took tomorrow off work...

    Cooking 12 pork shoulders at once

    I'm an MES guy, but a fairly new one so I can't speak to temp differences, though I do plan to experiment\measure and find out soon. I'm doing 6 pork butts on Thursday, assuming I can fit them all in, and had planned to rotate the racks every so often in case there is a heat differential.

    Basic Brisket Smoke

    I read this entire string at least 3 times as I was smoking my first brisket last week. Thought I would add to it by posting my own recent experience.  I smoked a 12.9# full packer in my ME40. Though I just recently learned what a "Packer" is, I purchased it from Cash & Carry. As I'm still a...

    A Lotta Shouldres

    Thanks guys.  Everything I'm reading says that it should not increase the cooking time too much as long as there is a few inches around each chunk for the hot air to get too. I always notice that when I open the ME and put the meats in it takes a while to get back up to temp. I am\was concerned...

    A Lotta Shouldres

    I know that temp is more important than time when smoking delicious meats. But I do need to plan my days and sleep cycles.  So, in ya'lls experience, roughly how much longer should it take to smoke four 7lb. pork shoulders than it would take to smoke one? In case it matters I'm doing this on...

    Getting serious in Seattle

    Hello Smokers, I've been around this forum a while, even created a single post a few years back, but never really got too serious with my previous smoker units.  However I recently purchased an ME40 and could not be more excited about this "new" hobby of mine. I just finished my first ever...

    airflow

    Anyone have a link to article or forum conversation on how airflow effects fire and temp?  Looking to know when to open the vent and when to close.   Thanks! toddlikesbeer
