    Flip The Heating Element?

    Since I keep my Mes in the basement,I do the hand truck thing too. My friend just got his set up on a cart from Home Depot. Locking wheels and handle looks nice. I'll have one for mine.

Thre wasn't that much variation from spot to spot but about 13 deg. Between the probe and controller but that all changed when I loaded it...

    Flip The Heating Element?

    Thanks, David. My main use for the MES is going to be sausage. Everything else I'll do in my BGE so I was just trying to figure out how to use ALL the space.

After research I find this is caused by the element and the exhaust both being on the right of the smoker. My question is....has anyone tried flipping the P shaped element over to reposition the heat to...

    Snack stick question

    Thanks, David. I already figured that out the hard way. Lol! I did my batch and just cut the sticks and found the ends had hardened. I had to trim all of them off. Now I know. :)
