Hi everyone....My name is Linda and I just bought a MES and I have no clue what to do with it. I have been lurking here for quite a bit trying to figure out what smoker to buy and seems like the MES was the right one for me. Now that I bought it, I am lost as to what to do. I did figure out how to preseason it so far.

I'm sure I will be asking all kinds of questions ..

Welcome to the forum, Linda, and congrats on the new smoker. As long as you have it seasoned, you're ready to start turning out some great smokes. There are a lot of MES owners here and they'll be by shortly to help you out.
 
Welcome to the SMF family Linda, I do not own a MES so I'm not much help.

I am sure plenty MES owners will show up to offer advice

Remember to take pics when you smoke, we love q-view

Good Luck and Happy Smokin'
 
Welcome, glad ya found us.

Check out the 2nd Annual IOWA gathering post.
 
welcome aboard, i dont own an mes. However if i had a new smoker this is what i would do

1 put it together
2 season it, while you season it practice maintaining or controling tempatures and thin blue smoke
3 i would pick the meat for my first smoke, roaster chickens and pork shoulder or butt can be had for $1.00 +/- some change a pound. both are an good first smoke. chicken takes less time, a good afternoon project
4 choose a wood for smoking hickory for pork, apple for chicken just a suggestion.
5 experiment and have fun, practice makes perfection. each smoker has its own personality, everyone of mine needs pampered in a different way

6 ask questions, read SMF's, and have fun, enjoy great food, and have fun

good Luck with everything you do and dont forget

Have Fun
 
welcome from des moines, lots of MES owners around here they should be able to help you out.
 
Hello Linda, and welcome to the SMF. Plenty of great and friendly folks here, enjoy.
 
I seen the post. What is it all about? Never been to anything like that before although we love to camp.
 
Last year it was about 8 members and family, total of 22?, we had it at Cherry Glen-sailorville last weekend of july. we sit around and told story and cooked ALOT of food, great time. i will try to find the link from last year. Remour has it, that there was a large amount of alcahol consumed, but only romour.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

Smokebuzz, I checked out the link and looks like everyone had a great time. I will have to give serious thought about trying to get there. Although I'm not sure about hauling the smoker anywhere.....

The BF thinks I'm nuts now..he is a Webber kind of guy. Thinks everything that needs to be cooked needs to be done on one of those.
