    2nd butt on my MES - QView

    JasonVR,  Make sure you are cleaning the two sensors inside the smoker chamber. Use a mixture of vinegar and water, they will clean up very easily. If they get too caked they will not correctly read the chamber temp. The placement won't be the same as the pic but that is what you are looking for.

    Pork shoulder vs Pork Butt

    In looking at the web sites for each of these companies, my take is that Hormel wants to be more of a take it and bake it product where Smithfield is providing a cut of meat for you to prepare how you want it. I personally would view this as a positive change. At least for my preferences.

    Reheating a butt

    Hi all, I am smoking two butts for a company picnic on Friday, sadly today is the only day I have the time to cook them. So come Friday they are going to have to be reheated and I have a couple questions on this: 1. Is it better to pull the pork now while it's freshly cooked or should I wait...

    Can't get the smoke going

    It's a Perfect Flame vertical. It too has the cast iron box right over the flame.

    Can't get the smoke going

    Hey all, Brand new here and have a question. I have a gas vertical smoker and I can't seem to get any smoke out of the wood, chips or chunks, without driving my temps upwards of 300 degrees. Any suggestions or thoughts?
