    Boneless Picnic Shoulder Roast

    Hey Everyone...      Been lurking around for a while and I'm about to smoke a boneless picnic shoulder roast. It came from the market, wrapped in netting and I'd like to leave it wrapped. Just did pulled pork last week with a Boston Butt and want to do thinly sliced pork for sandwiches with...

    Problem with my MES 30

    I'm pretty sure the problem was with the extension cord. Moved it closer to the house and plugged directly into the outlet with no problem.

    Problem with my MES 30

    Has anyone ever had a problem where when you plug the smoker in, it begins to make a clicking noise in temp controller and will not fire up. Please tell me my smoker can be saved... it's only 2 years old. It's too young to die!

    Immediate Help Needed! Smoking a turkey as I type...

    So I tested the probe. It is accurate within a degree or two. I turned the turkey around to try the other breast. It's now reading about 159-161F and I'm a little over 4 hours of smoking at 230F for a 15.5lb bird. How would I verify the smoker temp? Leave the probe on the rack? Oh, in case I...

    Immediate Help Needed! Smoking a turkey as I type...

    I have been smoking a 15.5lb turkey for 4 hours now at 230F. My temp probe is telling me that the breast is at 174F. I read that a bird that size should take about 9 hours to smoke. Is it safe to assume my probe is junk? Any help is appreciated.

After much consideration I chose the Masterbuilt 30 (20060201 i think?) to be the most cost effective model for my budget. Is there anyone else who uses...
