First spatchy on my new MES. About 7 1/2 lbs. Used a 24 hr Slaughterhouse brine with a few slices of fresh ginger. Smoked with apple and pecan from a AMNPS. Hung it to dry for a couple hour to form its pellicle and then a good coat of a spicy cajun rub. Set the MES for 260 which gave me a steady 235 on my Maverick 733. 5 hours of sweet smoking got me to 170 in the breast from the Maverick and very surprising a reading of 172 from the MES built in probe. Those things usually aren't very close. Tender and very juicy. I think my family is really going to enjoy our new purchase.
