Pellet or MES for pork butt

[jeffr6596]

Which do you prefer to use when smoking a large pork butt?

For me I would do the MES with a pellet smoke tube or tray. I would also add chips to the feeder whenever I got bored for the extra smoke! Either or you can’t go wrong id you have both the pellet along with a pellet tube or tray inside would yield the same results as long as you smoke to 203-205* finished temp

I just did a pork butt couple days ago. I put on low smoke on pellet before going to bed than when get up it about 150. Turn up to 250 and ready to foil in couple hours if you foil. Couple hours later done. I hold at 150 in MES after that when internal temp drops to about 180. I do use a wireless probe to alert me in case something happens while sleeping.
