    MES Temperature Variance

    Hey yall. First smoke on my new MES 40 today..woot woot! So, being a converted charcoal guy, I have a couple questions. 1) I have seen some posts stating that the built in meat probe is off by quite a bit. Have you guys noticed that the MES itself seems off? I ran the unit at about 225 and it...

    Wings...and Ribs

    So, I'm going to be smoking some pork spare ribs this weekend and want to smoke some wings at the same time.  Most of the suggestions I have found here say to smoke the wings for an hour and a half or so at 275 or 300+.  But, I won't be able to do ribs at the same time at these high temps.  Has...

    Pork Butt Time...Help!

    Ok, so I know a butt will be done in its own good time.  I am smoking a butt for 12 people next weekend for dinner and I need some help with making sure it's done on time.  For 12 of us, I'm thinking about a 6 pounder (sound right???).  From what I've read in the forums, I thought it was...

    Anyone Built A Stand For Their ECB?

    Just wondering if anyone has built a stand for their ECB. I have a gourmet and interested in getting it off the ground. I finally got all of the parts and took a lot of my free time this weekend (due to the non-stop rain in KC) and made the mods described here...

    Best upright smoker?

    Hey everyone. I'm, as we speak, cooking up my first pork butt on my brinkman gourmet charcoal smoker. I bought it at a hardware store, and it was cheap. My biggest complaints are the tiny door and I can't seem to control the temperature at all. Because the door is so small, I really can't...

    Newbie from Missouri

    What's shakin' everybody?! Just started smoking my first pork butt about 90 mins ago! This is my first time smoking and I'm looking forward to all the years and experiments to come! I picked up a cheap Brinkman vertical (water pan) smoker to start the hobby. I'm already tired of the tiny...
