    Fireboard 2 + Probes + Charger - Like New $100

    Is this still available? I have the original Fireboard but it won’t work with the new wireless probes and I can’t justify paying full price for another Fireboard.

    New Smoking Apprentice

    I just did my first attempt at smoking a bone-in pork butt. I got 2 on sale for .99/lb, one for now and one to freeze for later. Both were just under 8 lbs. I fired up the nearly new to me MES 30 1st gen and while it heated up mixed up the spices from Jeff's famous recipe {yes, that was a...

    Water leaking from the back left side of MES 30"

    Could be as I did had visible TBS around the door but I am not too concerned as that is probably why the AMNPS stayed lit. I have an gen 1 with only the one small vent hole in the upper rear. Dave

    Water leaking from the back left side of MES 30"

    I recently had 4 small black puddles on the garage floor each maybe 3 inches across and near each corner of my MES 30. It was cold outside - around 30F - so I assumed it was just condensation.I used a pan for my chicken juices and didn't add water so that was pretty much the only explanation. Dave

    Avoid Temp Swings in MES (By Bear)

    Thanks Bear I will try that next time. I am sure I can go over 300F since it is the 1500 watt model. I think ~300F is what I used to season it. The chicken skin may have been because of the marinade used (some liquid lemon pepper in a bottle) as it sat in it for a couple of hrs inside the...

    Avoid Temp Swings in MES (By Bear)

    I know this thread has been dormant for a couple of months but thought I could add more information for anyone interested. My recently seasoned MES is an analog 30 with a stainless steel door purchased by someone else from QVC a couple of years ago and never unpacked. Yesterday, in its maiden...

    Can I use pellets in my Masterbuilt electric smoker.

    I took a head first leap into the MES smoker pool with a 30 inch 1st gen analog purchased from QVC a couple of years ago. I ended up with it still in the box. I seasoned it last weekend and after a lot of reading ordered the #3 AMNPS package from Amazen about an hour ago. I figured I could try...

    Lots of grill experience, now graduating to smokers

    Hello, I am from the St. Louis, MO area and love to grill just about anything and all year long (which is a little challenging in the snow). I have a Weber Genesis Gold propane gas grill that is about 14 yrs old. A couple of years ago I bought a 6 inch long smoker box from Amazon that is...
