    The Ron Man has left us

    Been away for a while and this is definitely sad news to come back to.  Ron was always giving me tips with my MES and really helped me get started with smoking.  I use the knowledge he gave me every time I smoke.  RIP Ron...Thanks for everything you did for me and the forum.

    HOLY CRAP! I'm in a cult now!

    The last time I bought my Weber grill I had to wait almost 2 months extra before I finally got it.  I am starting to see a pattern here.

    eSmoking has been achieved!

    New MES owner, preparing for the 1st smoke

    New MES owner, preparing for the 1st smoke

    I have done quite a few butts on my MES.  I have tried a lot of methods and this is what works best for me: Using a pan makes the job a lot cleaner and easier, but you don't get a good bark on the bottom of the butt.  I never spritz anything done in the MES.  In my experience everything stays...

    question about smoking rib racks

    The rack below has always worked for me. I think I got it at Ace hardware or Home Depot so it should be easy to find. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...C9SH0E53QFYP30

    Can anyone verify if Masterbuilt definitely has a new Manufacturer?

    As some of you from the chatroom already know my MES went out on me while trying to preheat Friday night. I emailed them over the weekend and I had a response from Jennifer this morning. She asked that I call with model and serial number information. I spoke with her about the issue, which...

    Butt in an Electric

    I am doing 2 8 lb butts in my MES starting at 11 too. My guess is they will be done at around 11 tomorrow.

    what's cooking this weekend?

    That's quite a menu for this weekend. I wish I was eating at your place! I am starting 2 butts tonight for a cookout tomorrow. I am also making slaw and bbq sauce to go with it. Not sure what I am going to do for the sauce yet, but I always whip something up.

    I am about 40 minutes from you. I am in Champaign. I will do my best to not hold being an Iowa fan against you. I have a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker and a Mavrick remote thermometer. So far it seems to be all I need for pretty good que.

    Long time lurker, first time poster... I have a MES that I love. I purchased it after reading reviews of it in this forum and that's how I found the forum. The amount of smoking knowledge on this forums is amazing. By reading all the tips on here I felt like a master smoker before my first...
