    What do you mean by clone? Is it from a different manufacturer?

    New MES clone

    My mes smokes beautifully but only smokes, if l want to crisp up the outside or carmelize the sauce l have to finish up on my grill.

    My Mailbox Mod Brings Down Temp in Smoker

    I don’t know how far your mailbox is away from the smoker but the closer it’s to the smoker the less heat loss you’ll experience. My smoke generator is flush up to the smoker, nowhere to lose heat at. P.S. if you’re loosing heat outta the vent just close it. While the ampns needs air you could...

    How big of a turkey can I smoke

    Get the smallest turkey you can find. If it’s not enough get 2....or more. LOL. I don’t recommend completely cooking turkey in the MES, it doesn’t get hot enough to cook the skin properly. Not that it’s unsafe but nobody enjoys wet leathery skin. I don’t know how long to leave it the MES but...
