    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Ended up trying the BT and the app. Seems to be reliable. I'm going to set my maverick to 250 if I'm cooking around 225 and then that will be a safety alarm incase it takes off. The temp seems to equalize after a while. When heating the Maverick and iGrill are much higher but then they seems to...

    Had no problem connecting. Must be device specific issue.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Reading their reviews on the play store people are saying there is a bug where the smoker temp gets maxed out and basically goes into a run away climb. I'd never trust just their thermo but that's bad in my book. Seasoning it right now. Man 30* temp difference? Didn't think it would be that far...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I'll be putting it on. Just left it all sitting in the smoker till I move it out back to the patio. Guess I'll be pulling out my maverick or iGrill thermo. Not that I though the ones on the smoker were all that reliable to begin with. Would have liked if Masterbuilt tried to make an effort with...

    Portable smoker recommendations please

    Free is always good. I don't camp many places with power. I run a solar set up with my pop-up trailer but couldn't power a smoker off it.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Found this poor thing just asking for a home the other day, $329 at Sam's Club. Got the cold smoker add on delivered today from Amazon. I'm seeing that the smart phone app seems to be garbage and is regularly causing problems. Looking like I won't be using that feature.

    Portable smoker recommendations please

    They make a propane one built just like the above electric one. I bought one for camping since I run a large camp stove and portable grill off a large propane tank. Just added another hose and I can run them all at once if needed. The smoker works on the small propane bottles or the larger...

    Best MES

    Hello, I've been smoking for a few years now with a horizontal offset that has been great. I'd like to add an electric smoker to try and allow me to do more smoking when I can't stand and keep and eye on my fire for half a day or longer (got 2 kids now). I've opted to go with MES and think it...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    Count me in this game too. All the build mods are done. I used the DAP fireplace mortar for the fire box rather than the RTV since people were saying that it didn't hold up to the heat. I used the RTV to seal the stack and the elbow mod. I'm going to build a baffle and tuning plate soon...
