    MES 30 Frustrations

    Thanks again for the replies. That is very helpful! I'm going to try to smoke something this weekend to give it a try. I will be sure to keep you posted with what I get. I also contacted masterbuilt with regards to the problem to see if it was common and they stated they thought it could be a...

    MES 30 Frustrations

    When I set the smoker to 275, it will usually shut off at 277 and I have seen the temp get as high as 281. And it will turn on again at 274. Thank you so much for the advice! I want to try a smaller piece of meat like a steak or something to see if that helps.

    MES 30 Frustrations

    That was very helpful Bear! Thank you for the tutorial. I think my largest challenge is just figuring out what to set the temperature of the smoker to. If I start at the temperature reading 240 on the smoker and then it drops because of the addition of the meat, do you recommend adjusting the...

    MES 30 Frustrations

    Thank you so much for the help. Yeah this past Boston butt started to steal at 154. It stayed there for 2 hours and then I put it in foil. Once it hit the 10 mark I had to put it in the oven for time.

    MES 30 Frustrations

    Hey, I have a MES 30" with the round controller box. So far I have enjoyed what it has produced but I have some things with the smoker that I cannot seem to get right. When I do not have any meat in the smoker, and I set the temperature to 240 on the smoker, my digital thermometer will read the...

    What went wrong with this Brisket?

    I am not sure the type of brisket it was. The butcher I went to was unsure how to cut the meat for brisket so I just went with what they gave me. I will have to go to a different place next time to ensure the cut. But thank you for the advise, I will plan on trying the cooler method. Thank you...

    Masterbuilt Portable Electric Smoker

    I just purchased the electric portable smoker and it is fairly easy to maintain the temperature. The only thing that I have noticed, since the water pan is so small, you have to add water every hour basically. Not sure if anyone has any water pan mods (would be helpful to see). But whenever you...

    What went wrong with this Brisket?

    Hello! This is my first time posting here, but I have to say I have been using this website along with Jeff's book to help get me through my first smoke! I wanted to first thank you for all of the information. My first smoke was a whole chicken and it was great, so then I wanted to attempt a...
