    Smoke time for two individual boston butts?

    Thanks. Reason I asked is because I have a family reunion today at 4pm. I put both butts in last night at 1030 at 220F. At 8am this morning, the internal temp is 156F. So I've got 8 hours to go. Should I bump up the smoker temperature to help move things along?

    Smoke time for two individual boston butts?

    If I have two 7 pound Boston butts, is the total smoke time for them together 7x1.5= 10.5 or 7x2x1.5=21 ?

    Brisket smoke today

    Took out of oven at 1:30pm. Turned out really well. Wife and daughter say it's my best so far so I guess that's the best I could hope for :)

    Brisket smoke today

    Houston, we may have a problem... I just noticed my temp probe isn't reading correctly :( in a glass of cold water it reads 181F. Now I'm not sure what temp the meat was. It did pass the toothpick test though so I guess I'll see when I eat it later.

    Update - 6:15am - Point is 198F and middle flat is 201F. Seems this finished quicker than I thought it would. It's been 16hours since I put it on. I was intending to have this ready for lunch after church today around 1pm. Around 7am, I'll probably take it out, open it up and let it cool for...

    Brisket smoke today

    So once the brisket reaches 200/205, you open the foil up and leave in the oven at 170DegF for a couple additional hours instead of wrapping in a cooler and that gives you better results?

    Brisket smoke today

    I picked up a 13lb brisket yesterday at Costco and put it into the MasterBuilt smoker today at 4pm (EST). I am estimating around close to 20hours from start to finish. It's currently 7DegF outside and it's going to be around 3DegF by midnight. I plan to let it sit in the smoke until around...

    Last night at 12am, I put the meat in with chamber temp at 220F.  This morning at 7am when I checked, the chamber temp was 69F and meat temp was 140F.  The heating element was not on and the Masterbuilt was calling for heat.  I moved the meat into the oven at 220F. Should this be ok since the...

    I have the gen1 with the exhaust on the top. I don't understand the post about removing the water tray? I thought that the water tray was required. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Smoke issues with MES40

    I have a MES 40 and the Amazn tray. I have been using hickory pellets. It seems no matter what I try, the pellets don't stay burning. I have held the blow torch on the pellets for 5 minutes to ensure the pellets were burning. I opened the top vent completely and opened the feeder tray. When...
