How to make a Pulled Pork on a MES30?

[smokinq13]

Just sounds like one of those pieces of meat that are stubborn. Also injecting it adds moisture and more water mess to the meat that has to be warmed up then, so that could have slowed down it as well( even though I have a MES30 and have used this recipe many times without this happening) but different machines handle differently and different pieces of meat also act differently

May I ask what year and model number your machine is? Reasoning: I know there is a certain generation of MES30 that many SMF users say to avoid. Something dealing with the element is too small and has trouble heating things? Anyway just keep us updated!

As a quick update I don['t know the year...I bought it last year August 2017 at Walmart for $35 since it was the close out sale. I will check out the model/year when I get back outside to check on the smoke and temps.

Generally when the pellets in an AMNPS won't stay lit, the problem is a lack of oxygen. You may find it necessary to add a mailbox mod. That was my solution for the same problem in my MES. Now it works perfectly.

I did a Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork last week in my MES 30 with AMPS, that was the best pulled pork I have ever done. Here is a link to the post

So what's the verdict? How'd the rest of the smoke go/ how'd the Pulled Pork turn out
