    Change of plans...Pulled Pork overnight...(First Attempt at overnight)

    Why do we let the pork butt rest?

    I am about to start a butt tomorrow at 7:30am (7lbs) and hoping to eat it by 6pm, but my questions is why do we let the butt rest for an hour or so? What is the reason for it?

    Leave smoker in rain?

    I've had some friends tell me I can leave my 30" MES Analog Smoker out in any weather, whether I'm using it to smoke or not. Is that true? Can I smoke in the rain? Can I just leave it out? I have the cover that came with it but I don't know...
