    Newbie/First Smoke

    Hi WolfHunter, I'm here in KC so go Chiefs. I also got the same smoker for Christmas and did a pork butt for my first smoke. Turned out awesome. Good luck to you

    Bring Smoker inside during cold weather?

    Thanks everybody for the advice. Mummel I bought a different cover for it but would still rather not test it. The control unit is a point I didn't think of though. I only have the remote kind, not Bluetooth, but it's only held on with 2 screws. I think I'll bring it in the garage but since...

    Bring Smoker inside during cold weather?

    Hi all, I have a new MES 40 and I'm wondering if I should bring it in from the cold. Winter has finally hit here in Kansas and we're getting more snow. I have a cover, but not sure if that's enough. I have an attached garage i could put it in. It's not heated but it's warmer than outside. Then...

    First smoke

    So it hit 202 almost 2 hours ago and just won't climb any higher. Not sure what's going on, it seemed to be cruising.

    Thanks inkjunkie. It hit 160 degrees and i covered it at that point. It has kind of stalled out at 163 now, but not sure if that's really the stall or just loss of heat from the time it took to cover. Probably a combo of both

    First smoke

    Well I put the brats on at 8am, hoping to get a finished product around 12 for lunch. Problem is (if you want to call it a problem), they finished in 2 hours. So now it's just past 10am and I've got a couple delicious looking brats here, but it's just a little too early for me on lunch yet. Good...

    Thanks for the heads up on the 2 hours guys. If so then I'll be eating on it tomorrow instead. Would that be the norm or is it more cause it's cold outside? Here's a 2 hour update.

    First smoke

    Hi all. I finally got my MES 40 up and going, it's actually pre-seasoning right now. I have a butt ready to go that I was planning on throwing on at 5am. It's 8 lbs, and from what I'm reading it's about 1.5 hours per pound (temp pending of course). Now I have a couple questions if you all...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I just got a 40' and haven't had a chance to get it going yet. I'm new to smoking and I've been looking into it and talking to people and this is the model that stood out to me. I'll probably be a little more hands on then the "set it and forget it" guys but I can't lie, the convience/ease of...
