    going to try a pork butt for party (first time) MES30"

    I don't think you're allowing for enough time to smoke a butt in a MES30.  Here's the post I made while trying my 1st pork butt in the MES 30.  The result was nothing short of amazing, but the dreaded stall really did a number on my timing...

    The conclusion after finally eating some of this pulled pork? It was absolutely delicious!!!

    MES 30 - 2nd session... Pulled Pork

    Thanks, holyfeld.  I don't think there's a chance that the meat could have spent that long under 140F.  There just wasn't enough time for it, I hope!

    MES 30 - 2nd session... Pulled Pork

    Here's how it all played out: I put the pork in the smoker at 7am yesterday.  It stalled as expected and held solidly in the 150/160s F for hours and hours.  The climb continued very slowly.  I finally added the foil at 180F to see if it would help move things along, but it didn't seem to have...

    MES 30 - 2nd session... Pulled Pork

    Thanks, Holyfeld - This one's a doozy of a stall.  I finally cranked up the oven & pulled the butt from the smoker & into the oven.  It sat in the mid 180s forever, and we're STILL there.  At this point, I just want to see 195F so I can drop it into a cooler and worry about it tomorrow morning. ...

    MES 30 - 2nd session... Pulled Pork

    4.5 hours later, I am still waiting for the slingshot out of the stall.  I'm hovering at 169F, and have been here for quite a while.  I have a feeling that once I cross over to 170F, it will begin to move more quickly, but that's only a hunch.  Waiting still...

    MES 30 - 2nd session... Pulled Pork

    Hey folks.  My brand new MES 30 made some amazing ribs for us on its maiden run.  Today, I'm trying my hand at pulled pork.  I started with a modest size Boston Butt - 6 lbs.  I am using the smoking technique from the Pork Sticky, more or less.  No booze on hand to mix with the apple juice, so...

    Need outdoor MES 30 cover

    Mike - It's pouring out (and I'm not far from you, I think).  I stepped out on my deck to see how my cheapie cover is doing in the rain.  It seems to be repelling the water nicely.  I did notice that the water is wanting to pool on the top, which gives me an idea.  I'll put an inverted cheap...

    Very first smoke in my MES 30" <Gen2>

    Hey all.  After seasoning my brand new smoker yesterday, it was time to put it to work today.  We picked up a big pack of pork ribs at CostCo yesterday & gave them a good dry rub this morning. Just before noon, I fired up the smoker & brought it up to temp.  I set it at 235F, since I noticed...
