Yep, and it would be prone to operator error. I have a crock pot that shuts itself down after a certain time and the wife always seems to set it wrong. I set my MES timer for way longer than I need then just manually shut it off when I am done.
Now that would be an accident waiting to happen. You really wouldn't want your beautifully smoked meat to sit in a warm moist box for hours after it was cooked to perfection now would you? Asking for bad bugs if you ask me.
Has anyone ever seen an electric meat thermometer that will disconnect power from your smoker when you reach your desired internal meat temp? I'm using a MES 30". Thank you
