Thanks for the link..
I can't see a pellet grill in my future yet, but I haven't entirely ruled it out. The MES is a type of pellet pooper. I can set the temp and the cook time and let it go. Just have to add pellets as needed and that's only for an hour or so. Though it may cook for 6 hours, I may add smoke for the first hour or two. With 4 racks I can probably cook 10 to 12 racks of ribs if I NEED to...or cook 4 butts at a time.
B T W, Mike I have your BBQ in hand now. It is a GREAT resource. Deb really likes the equivalents you've included along with the substitution charts, etc. Really good book.
