I seasoned it this week, and lit it today (whoops - plugged it in). I tried to use an over thermo in it, and found out it was way way off (the oven thermo). Quickly I grabbed my meat thermo and threw it in for a quick check. The MES said it was at 230, and the meat thermo only goes to 220. It went a bit above the 220 - so for today I'm trusting the MES is close. I brined some thighs and legs in salt, sugar, lemon, and lime juice for a couple of hours, and then put them in a coating of oil, and brown sugar. Threw in some eggs to try out deviled eggs - and set the temp to 225. Been hanging steady for over an hour and a half. I was impressed how quickly it recovered after I loaded it down. I was very happy. I may really end up loving this purchase...
