    Newbie Questions

    My MES30 stayed out all winter in upstate NY with the Masterbuilt cover only and I had no trouble with it. If I know it is going to rain and I'll be smoking, I put up a canopy.

    NYS Weather Is Frustrating!

    You're not kidding! Better weather ahead though. I smoked a butt from Friday evening to Saturday morning but Mother Nature had to throw me a curve. My therm started beeping at 1:00 am. The power went out because of the storms and I use an MES 30. Thankfully it only lasted two hours and the meat...
