Bear- thanks for your post. I used it smoke my first ever Boston Butt. It came out great. I pulled the meat right off the bone with a fork. It was perfect. I had a friend tell me it was the best pulled pork they ever had. I highly doubt that but it did come out great.
Looks Outstanding from here, Dawg!!!

Well, Bear, I'm following your legendary instructions on a 10-lb Boston Butt in my MES30 with an AMNPS. I put the roast in the smoker about 2 hours ago, and I'll keep you posted as it progresses. Qview to follow.

Sounds Great, Tiger!!!

You should start a new thread of your own too. Then you could post a whole lot of pics with your own thread.

Keep me posted though, and I'll come over to drool on your thread!!

Wow, I dig the view of your backyard, must be great for those 4th of July BBQ parties.  For my pork butt, I use this recipe as my base plan:

Bear, what is this "danger zone" you mention between 41 and 135 degrees? Is it just because it is not cooked yet? I thought pork had to be cooked to internal temp of 145 at minimum. Or are you referring to something else?

Right---Something else------We usually refer to 40* to 140*, rounding it off, as The Danger Zone.

To be safe, you should get the IT of the meat from 40* to 140* in no longer than 4 hours.

There are exceptions, such as if you don't inject, temp probe, or break the seal of any whole meat before cooking.  Then you don't have to adhere to that rule.

That 145* is still considered the safe IT for consumption of Whole meat Pork, by the USDA.

Did my first Boston Butt in my MES30 a couple of days ago following Bear's instructions, and you will be VERY pleased with the results. Good luck and have a great party & New Year! May your 2014 be filled with thin blue smoke! :grilling_smilie:

Thanks Steve, I just coated the butt with mustard and rub. I will let it rest overnight and start the smoking tomorrow night. Happy New Year's to you as well.
 
Thank you, followed your instructions carefully and it turned out amazing!  I originally started with WSM and made impressive pulled pork but my in my MES, it wasn't turning out the way pulled pork should be and just assumed that MES weren't capable of awesome pulled pork until I found your post!  Thank you once again and looking forward many more posts!
