    Finishing chicken in oven

    First Smoke (Boston Butt) (Now with QViews)

    I did my first butt today on my MES 40.  Bought a 6 pound boston butt I picked up at the butcher shop.  While I seasoned my MES 40 for the first time I put the temp gauge I had in my grill into the smoker to see what the temp difference was.  This morning I got up at 6:15 started the MES to...
