Just an FYI post:
Using my MES40 at 225F for the whole smoke up until now, they went from 158F at 9 hours to 172F at 17 hours...so I wrapped them (they looked and smelled awesome!) and kicked the smoker up to 250F because they needed to be done in 3 hours or so.
The low temp last night was 53F and calm. Its windy and 72F right now. So weather had nothing to do with the long smoke time.
They were nearly at 2 hours per pound when I wrapped them - so this is another example of pulled pork being done when its done. Always give yourself extra time! Pulled pork can rest in a cooler for a few hours!
I will post some pics in a new thread when our big get-together is over.
