Well my third smoke was yesterday - May 18th, 2015.
I did a 6 # Pork Butt in my MES 40 - it went into the hot smoker (225*) at 10:am after sitting on the counter for hours getting to room temp.
After about 3 hours I bumped the temp to 240* (when the IT got to 100*)
This is when I started to...
Today is smoke three for me.
Got my butt on the counter - taking the chill off from being in the refrigerator all night. I vacuum sealed it with a dry rub coating.
My plan is to have it in the MES 40 by 10AM - going to try 225 temp and using Mesquite chips. (I have a nice Cabernet to enjoy...
Try some small foil cookie sheets from the grocery store - when done with the smoke toss (or clean). That will keep the juices separate - you can also put a cookie/cake cooling rack in the pans, and the meat to be smoked on the rack, which will allow the smoke to penetrate the whole slab of meat.
I use dark brown sugar in my baked beans - usually use B&M brand - also add yellow mustard and some pork or bacon and bake in oven for an hour covered.
I'm making Bacon wrapped Pineapple for my "new 40" birthday party on May 30th.

I started heating up my MES 40 around 10:30 AM.
11:00 AM my MES 40 was up to target temp of 220*
Time to load the meat - Sausages on top, Pork Butt middle, on...
I got my MES 40 online at Amazon - $317.00 delivered.
Awesome unit - doing Pork Havana with some store purchased Sweet Italian Sausages overhead. Can't wait to dig in.
I make a sausage/cabbage casserole with layers of cabbage w?S7P, slices of baked potatoes, sausage, repeat all three layers, then make a white sauce, add some yellow mustard when it starts to thicken and pour over top - sprinkle paprika and bake at 350 for 45min to an hour till browned.

I'm 59 (turn 60 on the June 2!).
I have been grilling for years, but got introduced to smoking via a HGTV show, and also a neighbor that did charcoal offset smokes.
Now (May 15, 2015) I am one week into the adventure. Doing a Boston Butt / Pork Havana with Sweet Italian Sausage links over top...
Oldschoolbbq,
I have seen these online - maybe amazon - also have a wire one called a 'beer can chicken stand" by I think Weber - got it at Home Depot - but it does not have the cast iron plate - guess you could stick the wire one in a cast iron frypan - hmm - now I'm thinking which pan that I...
I'm thinking about Pork Havana for my second smoke - going to start to marinate the Boston Butt in MOJO for a few days while the Sweet Italian Sausages thaw in the refrigerator. I think I'll put the roast in the bottom of MES and the sausages above to drip their juices on the pork butt! I have...
