Hey all! I'm down in south Florida. I used my last fishing trip (caught some King Mackerel) as an excuse to go buy a smoker. Lowe's had the MES30 on clearance so picked that up for $200. I also added the "Cold" Smoking Unit attachment. So far I have smoked some fish and a rack of ribs. Trying my hand at pulled pork today. Trying to smoke at least once a week. I look forward to honing my skills and playing around with various woods. So far the results have been great. Just need to dial in my temps.

Welcome! Where in south Florida are you? I'm in Bradenton, just south of Tampa. We have a weekend "gathering" at a state park near Sebring every November. It's a lot of fun and very educational. Let me know if you'd be interested in coming, and if so, I'll send you the info.

I have a MES 40 and use it a lot. Only tried fish once. It turned out good, but fish isn't my cup of yea. LOL

I'm on the other side in Boca Raton. Only 3 hours to Bradenton and 2.5 to Sebring. That sounds like it could be interesting. Can you send me more details?
