Butt in a new to me MES 30 Pro

[Kvgsqtii]

My wife was at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore the other day and they had just put this beauty out on the floor. $125 out the door. I've been looking for one for a while, not so much for doing pork butt, but to increase sausage smoking space and at some point snack sticks, cheese and bacon. Weber kettles are great for a lot of things, but they make smoking a lot of sausage difficult.

Got it home and cleaned up and took a pork butt out of the freezer. Test run yesterday went well. So this morning I got the butt rubbed down with some Jeff's Rub and into the smoker at 225. Smoke is from some hickory chips.

Has anyone else gotten the Masterbuilt Classic app to work?

Isn't that the one with dual elements ?
My MES 30 does a great pork butt .
No experience with an app for these , but most apps for this stuff likes the 2.4 connection over the 5 .
So maybe check that if it's a connection issue .

Yes, one at the bottom for smoke and another at the top.

I don't doubt it will do a good butt, but I love running the weber.

This one is bluetooth, but the app won't even let me sign in

Right me too . I have several options , but a pork butt is probably the only whole muscle meat I do in the MES .

Did you pair them ?
I just went and looked it up , should be a button on the control panel you need to push and hold , says pair , then add device . Maybe you did that ?
If not look into it , or google it . Good video on how to add a device .
