Found this forum syt looking for a way to get my mes30 running on a cold xmas morn. Was so impressed at the content and especially the attitude of the people on here that I decided to stick around a while. My name is John, my friends call me JR. I live in Mckenna, WA. I have been smokin my whole life and don't plan on quitting. I have been fortunate enuff to have been raised in the PNW. Always have fresh seafood on hand (family have always been fishermen since the dawn of recorded time). I have used quite the eclectic mix of different equipment from small tin cans, to home made smokers made from an old woodstove under a broken oven.(wife almost shot her drawrers when she pulled in the driveway and seen that in the front yard, but the taryaki turkery won her over). I am currently using my old NBBD, my brinkman r2d2 double stacked stickburner, and most recently the MES30,(I used it last night for sausage, added a smoke gen made out of a soup can and a soldier iron to smoke cheese, and now have beans in it). Look forward to seeing more great ideas and pics. will try and do pics myself soon. thank you all....JR
