Just saw you did order the Maverick...definitely nice to have. Also don't forget the AMNPS! Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

They were in a pretty small plastic bag. And I agree they maybe should have been taped right to the control box or maybe put in a large plastic bag with the owners manual, etc. I would also recommend getting the Maverick thermometer. I've found the MES to be up to 15 degrees off at times...

I have the same smoker as well. I thought they didn't give me the screws as well but I double checked and the screws were there. There was so much packing I missed them the first time :D Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

The butt turned out great and the AMNPS was a great asset too.  Everybody loved the pork and wanted to take leftovers home.  Couldn't have done it without help from this site.  Thanks everybody! 

Butt is out of the smoker and then wrapped and into the cooler until our guests show up. Will post pics after it's pulled!  Doug

I have one going in the smoker note for lunch tomorrow too. I'm new to this and this is just my second butt. I have not foiled and was not planning on doing it on this one either as I like a good amount of bark. I'd say try this one without foiling and then do your next with foil, our vice...

It looks like I'm getting a lot of heat as well as smoke from the AMNPS. Using the directions Todd emailed me - chip loader backed out 2", chip tray open 1.5", top vent fully open it would seem I'm getting way too much oxygen. Temp was going up on its own (electric heater never turned on) and...

It's been hovering around 230. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

So far so good! AMNPS is burning great and the butt is up to 115. :-) Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

Hi everybody! I'm very new to smoking but a long time griller.   I got a MES 30 Digital as an early birthday present.  We've done baby backs and a small butt previously and they came out good although the butt stalled badly and people were getting hungry.  It only got to about 175 IT so we were...

Ulster County, NY here.  New to smoking but a long time griller.  Also have a couple friends who have been smoking a while in the area. Definitely learning a lot on this forum! Doug

My MES 30" was just delivered today. Have it set up and doing the preseasoning burn. Can't wait to use it for real! Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

IT for the last few years. Before that was a live sound engineer.:D Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks for the welcome. You must have had some crazy winters there Pops! I'm in the lower Hudson Valley near Kingston so we don't get anywhere near the snow the Watertown area does! Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2
