Hello folks. I have just joined this group. My smoker has been a Brinkman vertical propane but very recently was given a 40" MES eletric. I frequently smoke sausage but the Brinkman just isn't big enough. I am wanting to expand my adventures in smoking with the new unit.

Welcome! I didn't know what the MES electric was, had to look it up. Looks like a good place to start. I have never used the electric heat but if it holds temperature and you can get smoke in it. You will make some fine eats. The meat will not care how it got the heat to cook in. For many they would not know the difference if you get the smoke right. So it's about preference of cooking methods.
