First smoke

[neil]

I started at 0445. The butt is 8.5lbs I'm using MES 30 and maverick 732 thermos. I used the naked rib rub and let the meat sit overnight in the fridge. I do have a pic and I will try to post it. My temps in the smoker is reading 250 and I can't seem to keep it down and the meat is reading 133 almost 3hrs in.

Looks great so far! 250 isn't bad at all. Is there water in that drip pan? If not maybe try adding spine if you want your temp closer to 225!

I forgot to to mention that I'm using an AMNPS with Pitmasters Choice. My bad. The AMNPS is working like a charm. I did a dry run yesterday to work out any issues I may have before game time. Thanks for the reply. I will keep you guys posted.
