    New smoker on the loose

    Hello smokers! Thanks for all the advice and guidance to my first-time smoking. I just pulled out three slabs of brisket from my new MES30 after 12 hours at 250 degrees and with IT at 189. I wrapped them in foil to cool. I'm not sure if tender enough. One felt tender with the "fork test". I'm...

    new to MES: Wood chip tray on MES-where should it be?

    I'm new to the MES. I just Pre-seasoned my MES30 per the directions. The ashes were on the burner coils. Shouldn't they be on the wood chip tray? Did I put in the wood chip tray in the wrong spot? Should it be on top of the burner coils so the chips fall right onto it when I twist the chip loader?

If so, how long. 2. Can I put in three slabs of brisket at the same time- one in each rack? 3. Do I multiply by the...
