Damn, looks like I am ordering an MES and the AMNPS when I get paid next week. I really wanted to get a Big Green Egg and the DigiQ fan setup but for the price that will have to wait. Is anyone using a wired meat thermometer and air thermometer and running the wire through the door seal. The DigiQ (http://www.biggreenegg.com/eggcessories/bbq-guru/) regulates the temp of the Egg with an air probe and fan and monitors the temp of the meat to tell you when it is done and lower the temp. I would be looking to get as close to this with the MES as well. Also, does anyone have an awesome recipe for smoking a pork butt for pulled pork. I studied the first season of BBQ Pitmasters and have some ideas as far as rubs and injecting with apple juice but will be experimenting to get it right.
