Nice Job, Rick!!Thanks again Bearcarver, the directions were very easy to follow, the the finished 8 lb butt was a huge hit with everyone at last nights gathering. The only down side is they ate all of it and now i have took more pork for today's traditional New Year's Day meal.
Thank You!Such a great step by step for newbies!! Can't wait to try this tomorrow. Only our second time using the MES 40. Question: do you put the pork in fat side up or down?
Great price!!
Been lurking for awhile lots of great info. Butts are $1.49 lb so I prep one last night and put in in the smoker. I'll keep you posted through out the day.

Looks good already!!
145 Degrees after 3 Hours
Thank You!!Great post bear. Im looking to make my first one and this will make it easier. I do have 1 question about temp as you listed bump to 240 at 11am and at noon. Should the noon be higher or just go to the 240 at 11?
Thanks,
Rick
Thank You!!Really appreciate the step by step process. I'm new to the whole smoking thing and am attempting my first butt tomorrow. I feel pretty confident with your step by step tutorial that it will turn out great!
