    Advice needed - good wood for hot wings...

    Temp issues with MES 30 Analog

    Hi all, I've been searching this subforum and found some great info but thought I'd start a new thread cause I didn't find my exact issue. I've had an MES 30 Analog Model 20070210 for about 2 years now. The first year or so I had no issues with my temps. This year, I can't seem to get it up...

    Sunday Smoke w/ Q-view

    Decided last minute to smoke some meat for Sunday. Didn't plan ahead so just did some spare ribs, 2 chickens (1 splatchcock, 1 beer-can) and a block of tofu for the lady. Ribs came out great, chicken was also good. The skin got nice and crispy as I put the chickens closer to the heat. I used my...

    Question on meat thermometer

    Hi all, long time reader, first time posting. Just got back into smoking. I live in NYC and we just got a place in Brooklyn with a small backyard so obviously my first purchase upon moving in was a MES. It's the bare bones version but I found it on clearance at home depot for $50. Done a few...
