    masterbuilt smoker pulled pork help

    Hi from Sioux Falls, SD

    Hi everyone, I've been aware of this forum for a year or so, but haven't done much smoking yet. About a week before the 4th of July, my wife suggested that I try smoking something, so I did some ribs. They turned out so good that I've decided I have to make this a more regular event. I've...
