    1st baby backs with qview

    I did my first smoke boys and girls. 3 BBs from SAMs . I broke in my MES 40. It was cold out at about 10*. I used half hickory half applewood chips. I soaked the chips for 2 hours.

    Gas or Electric for my smoking needs

    I did it! I picked up a new gen MES 40 at SAMs for $300. It is model number 20072612. I can't wait to get started. I just have to put an exterior outlet on my garage now.

    Gas or Electric for my smoking needs

    I really love doing chicken on the grill. I was hoping to do it in the smoker. I love crispy skin. To finish on the grill isn't the end of the world i guess. I really like the idea of no propane bottles to worry about. It sounds like the electric is all around easier to use but lacks in the...

    Gas or Electric for my smoking needs

    It is still in the box unopened. I want to get the right one first . It's too expensive to experiment buying different smokers over and over. Just trying to get the right one for me first and then be done with it.
