    MES reliability

    Thanks for the response. About 5-7 uses with the first controller and 3 uses on the second controller. I stored it outside with an awesome cover that I also bungied around the bottom. I pulled the cover off after a long torrential downpour once to check and it was bone dry. In the winter it...

    MES reliability

    I have a MES G1 smoker that I loved when it worked. But have had reliability issues. After maybe he first 5 uses the digital readout stopped working. It was out of warrantee but Masterbuilt was really nice and replaced it. I literally got one good use out of it before the readout started...

    Time to smoke 2 5lb whole chickens

    @timbrejet - this time around it was great! Last time with the too smoky chicken it was the first time ever smoking. I was forcing way too much smoke. I'm a bit more dialed in now.

    Thanks for the response. I did check out a spatchcock video and think I'll try that next time. I'm glad I can expect about the same time for two birds as one. The MES 30 only gets up to 275.

    First pork butt in my new MES 30

    Hmm, makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Now to read a bunch of sand vs. water posts to decide if I should make the change. Love these forums. So much great info.

    First pork butt in my new MES 30

    @JimmyJ - I did have water in the pan - perhaps I need some play sand, eh? Sand works well. Water cools the smoker. Why would water cool the smoker? If it's put it when heating the smoker it should be the exact temp as the inside of the smoker and should help keep the heat from fluctuating...
