    My first Boston Butt

    Thanks for sharing details.  Did you have a probe thermometer in the meat or a smoker thermometer? I've been trying to get a feel from other MES30 owners what the variations are on their units.

    Smoked venison Burgers

    Nice on the burgers. I smoked my final pound of ground venison on Friday. Made nice patties and used Jeff's burger recipe.  http://www.smoking-meat.com/may-1-2014-smoked-hamburgers-and-smoked-hotdogs I set the MES 30" to 225°, not soon after I had what I thought I was looking for. Smoked for...
