    2 Thermo Pro TP 08's

    Have you checked the TP-08 manual? It has instructions for manually pairing a transmitter and receiver. Similar to what mosparky said, it sounds like maybe you need to do something like remove batteries from everything. Add batteries to the first set, power them up, and let them sync. Now turn...

    Masterbuilt 30" smoker power cord repair

    My MES30 will overshoot by 25F or higher at times. What you're describing wouldn't worry me.

    Masterbuilt 30" smoker power cord repair

    Over what sort of time frame, and what is the set temperature? If it's set to 150F, your thermometer is reading 160F, the heating light goes out, and your thermometer rises to a peak of 165F, that wouldn't sound weird to me. There are temperature over-shoots, and thermometers also have a...

    Just Ordered a New Thermometer - 6 channel

    Very nice! Thanks for the info about it, it will be interesting to hear more as you use it. The price seems appealing, especially given the number of channels. Looking on Amazon today, I wasn't able to find one by "Silipower", which I think is what your image shows. But, for the record, I did...

    Successful MES brain transplant! Plug and Play replacement controller = Full PID + Cellular contro

    Wow, Tiros, that is amazing! Well done!! Any further details that you chose to share would only help people, I'm sure. The idea of being able to buy a hardware kit is interesting. At some point I will likely do some more research on building a temp-logging device. But this is way cooler...

    Need help please--need a reccommendation for my 2nd electric smoker

    Hopefully those with experience will chime in, since I'm new at this. But I've seen people say they love their Smokin-It units, they seem to have an excellent reputation. They're a higher price-point, however. I think there was some positive discussion of Smoke Hollow recently, that could be...

    MES30 - 15 hours for meat at 220-225F???

    Gary, that's a great idea. To that end, the sand/whatever could be pre-heated to your intended smoker temp in the oven, or toaster oven, ahead of time. I wonder if something like just normal bricks could work? Maybe wrapped in foil to keep them from getting drippings all over them. The extra...

    Masterbuilt 20071117 30" Digital Electric Smoker

    My MES bounces the temperature up and down. I think I saw 291 when set to 275, as it was settlling in. But running hotter than setpoint is good, you can always set it to 265 if you need it to be a little cooler. But you can't set it to 285 if it's not even reaching the requested temperature...

    Please help! Temps all over the place

    Sorry, can you clarify the exact issue? If I'm reading correctly, when you actually measured/confirmed the smoker's temperature, it was 230, vs 225? Or when you said the "internal temp" was 203, did you mean the temp inside the smoker was 203? I assumed you were referring to the meat's...

    New smoker, not goimg above 170 degrees

    A heater's output varies with the square of voltage (P=V^2/R). So if you cut the voltage in half, you actually get 1/4 the watts. If running an 800W 220V heater at 110V, it would effectively be a 200F heater. (This is part of why you want to avoid using long/thin extension cords with an...

    New smoker, not goimg above 170 degrees

    From some quick googling, it looks like the Canary Islands use 220-230 VAC, 50 Hz. Which would be consistent with what that product is designed for. Were you thinking that he is maybe running it at the wrong voltage, like 110V? Or something else? I confess I'm not sure how the physical plug...

    New smoker, not goimg above 170 degrees

    He mentioned it being an 800W unit. It could be this one, the Flintstone Steel Smoker Oven? https://www.klarstein.co.uk/Kitchen-appliances/Grills/Electric-grills/Flintstone-Steel-Smoker-Oven-800-W-Stainless-Steel.html Manual is here...

    Masterbuilt 40" digital electric smoker, model G2ESU40BSW

    Well, since there is no feedback yet, I'll offer my $0.02, as a newcomer. 3) The Maverick should certainly make it much easier to monitor the temps. And to check the probes that you're using in boiling water, and ice water, to check their accuracy. It's tougher to check the sensor in the...

    Masterbuild 30" electric smoker, what should I know about it and how to make it better?

    As Bear said, the AMNPS is the model you'd want. The names are kinda confusing. They are made by A-Maze-N Products. There is an AMNS tray, which is older, 6"x6", and only burns sawdust. Then there is the AMNPS tray, which is newer, 5"x8", and burns pellets or sawdust. The AMNPS is what you'd...

    MES40 Gen 1 resurrection and AMNPS conversion project

    Flowing past the racks and food certainly seems like it would be a challenge. I wonder about ducting the fan's output, within the smoker? Pull the air from up high, for instance, run it through a small metal duct, and dump it at the bottom of the smoker. Or vice-versa. You could still move the...

    MES40 Gen 1 resurrection and AMNPS conversion project

    TallBM, the convection fan seemed to me as though it ought to be a big help to equalize temperatures within the smoker. It's too bad that the results so far may not be quite what you were hoping for. With that said, the location shown makes me wonder if another spot might help it work better...

    Mailbox thingy

    johnmeyer, I think the popcorn tin approach is interesting. And if I had one just sitting around, I'd try it at the moment, to see if it would help keep my pellets burning longer, vs what I'm getting in my toolbox :) But I think the "there is zero issue with anything that is not food grade"...

    Masterbuild 30" electric smoker, what should I know about it and how to make it better?

    I'm new here too, but welcome! It's a very helpful and knowledgeable group of people. From the pics, yours is a Gen1 unit, it's looks like the same model I just bought, 20070910. And I was happy with my price, at $140 :) Apparently you can get some amazing end-of-season deals on smokers...
