    How Did You Choose The Temperature That You Barbecue At?

    Today I had the mes30 right at 280* and I have 2 shoulders on there. Put them in at 4:30 am and not they are at 187* and 194*. Took a peak and they look great. I like it that they will be able to rest a couple hours before pulling. Mine are cruising along now at 280*.

    How Did You Choose The Temperature That You Barbecue At?

    I'm still somewhat new, but I started low and slow. After the last 3 smokes I found myself getting nervous cause the meat was not done, and had my wife complaining. This is putting it in at 5am. So, I have 2 shoulders in right now and I'm trying at a little higher temp cause I want these done...

    Why are my chicken legs bloody?

    Drums and quarters on the bbq I always cook so long, and often still have blood. Me, I eat it. My wife does not. I'm not dead.

    Mojo pork shoulder

    Thanks. I can only guess this thing would have taken 16+ hours at 225. I think I'm a believer at higher heat.

    Mojo pork shoulder

    Thanks guys! This was one of the best pork I've done. Everyone loved it, including my wife. I didn't use any rub at all. Just onion, garlic, and mojo for 24 hours. Ended up taking 12.5 hours at 250°
