I just wanted to introduce myself...I just got my 30-IN MES seasoned last night and am looking to get my first meat in there and start my learning curve. I've been wanting one of these for a really long time now...I'm really excited to do some trout in it.

Anyways...I'm really looking forward to interacting with you guys and getting some insight and schooling...another newby ready to be tutored.

Thanks...and see you out there!

  Good morning and welcome to the forum, from a cloudy and drying out day here in East Texas. Lots of great people with tons of information on just about  everything.

Good morning and welcome to the forum. I also have a MES 30 and have had real good luck with it. Like Tropic said, get you some secondary temp probes (Maverick is good) and def check out the MES group- lots of great info there. You can also search "Bears step by steps" above for great info on smoking just about anything in your MES. Bear did a great job putting it together, I've found it very helpful (Thanks Bear!). Happy smokin', David.

The meat probe checks the IT internal temp of the meat, so you know when it is done. The probes that come with master built are normally way off, you are better off with separate units.
 
Yeah-what he said! I got the maverick 733 model, but there's a lot of others out there. You really need 2 temp probes-1 for the CC(cooking chamber) and 1 for the meat. I personally found that my MES meat probe is within a few degrees of dead-on, but have read that many others are way off. The CC temp in a MES varies quite a bit from rack to rack, and can be quite a bit off from the built-in controller setting. Very important to know the temp where you are cooking and the temp of your food. A lot of helpful tips are available here but the most important thing to remember is this: It's not rocket science, do a little research, relax, and enjoy your smoke. You'll do fine and learn more as you go. Happy smokin', David.
