Man it was running way hotter than it read. It was off by about 30*.I have it set on the MES at 210 now and according to my thermometer inside it is now at 237*. It sure does smell awesome outside. I was really surprised at how hot it was running being that it has been 28* outside since I put it on at 11:00!!! Really thought that it would be struggling throughout the night/early morning. The IT of the butt is showing about 180*. It has been sitting at that temp since I stuck the probe in about 2 hours ago. Is this the plateau that everyone speaks of, or did I sleep through it and its just going slow now? I have read the stall occurs about the 160* range. Has anyone occurred stall at 180* or higher?. Maybe just a tough butt?

What kind of ribs are you smoking for this afternoon? I have done Triggs recipe in the MES and have been really pleased with them.

Is the AMNPS easy to install? I'm assuming it is a model that fits all MES smokers and can be purchased off amazon?

Yeah mine has been off by 40* at certain temps but only 5-10 at others. I'm glad I have the Maverick to go by

Most people use the mailbox mod for hot smoking with the AMNPS & MES http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/...0-new-pictures-for-attaching-elbow-to-mailbox  I use a disposable roaster pan with mine...

I ordered mine from Todd - he is a site sponser & has the best customer service on the planet! http://www.amazenproducts.com/

They just sit in the bottom of the cook chamber, no installation to speak of. There are very detailed instructions that come with it.

Go HERE for the site to order directly from the company.

Thanks for the info fellas!! Will definitely be buying one soon! So I am assuming that it was the stall then at a higher temperature? Here is an updated pic of the smoker temp and IT of the meat.

Looking fantastic. Having a remote therm is so nice when it is cold out. Looking like your meat will be done in plenty of time for t he game tonight.

Yes sir! I do believe it will. Ready to pull this baby out. Have only opened it once during the smoke to insert the probes and it had a really dark brown/black bark formed all around it at that time. Can only imagine that it will look like an asteroid from another planet after it reaches pulling temp. Lol!!! Showing 193* on the knockoff brand maverick! Almost there. Probably 12:00-12:30. How long to rest? Pulling at 205*

I would rest it for at least an hour or more if you can - it does make a difference...

Looking good. Yeah take it off the heat at 195, wrap it in foil then an old towel, and drop it in a clean, dry cooler and close the lid. Rest for one hour, then pull and serve. BE CAREFUL taking it out of the cooler. The foil will be hot and could burn your hands.

 

[jmo bbq]

If I pull it at 195* and rest for 11/2 will it finish cooking till the 205 mark?

Foil wrapped.

Cozy cooler bed!!

More pics when I start pulling!

[humdinger]

Looks good! Yeah the towel will help carry the temp to 200-205 range, perfect for pulling.

 

[jmo bbq]

Cool. Thanks humdinger!

Nice looking bark!  I just stuffed myself on ribs but I'll bet I could eat a bite or 3 of that 

  Will be waiting for the pulled pics...
