    SMOKING FOR THE FIRST TIME

    I went with the MES30. After reading lots of posts on this forum, this was my first attempt. (Not to spoil it, but it came out GREAT!)

    SMOKING WITH MES30 - FIRST TIME

    Oops! I didn't mean for that to show in the video. I do have a permit to carry it. Thanks for your comment.

    My first brisket smoke...

    Well, it turned out to be a corned beef brisket when I got it home. I didn't see it because the label was covering the wording on the package. But it came out much better than I ever thought it would. And thanks to all the posts on here for helping me figure out the time and temperatures.

    MASTERBUILT 30 - FIRST TIME ROASTS

    I just smoked a Sirloin Tip and a Chuck Roast for the first time. Here's a video of the procedure and what we did to make it so very tender.

    Simple Drumsticks

    Caleb - Thanks for the info. That sounds like a logical solution. I may try that to see how it works out. I'm just hoping that 250 wouldn't be too hot for the ribs for the last 2 hours. I'm thinking it should be ok.

    Simple Drumsticks

    I've only done ribs so far (one time, so far), but we're having a barbecue and I want to try some chicken drumsticks. I like the olive oil, throw the drums in a bag with the rub, and put them in the smoker. Is 1.5 hours really enough time at 225? I was planning on doing these at the same time...

    My First Smoke...

    Sure you can move in, but you'll have to do the weed-eating.

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    This page exactly matches the page in my manual, which accompanied my smoker that was delivered last week. I wonder if they put an old manual in a brand new product? That seems unlikely. I don't know the answer about the vent. I smoked my first ribs this weekend using the 2-2-1 method. I...

    My First Smoke...

    Thanks so much for that info. I obviously didn't know what I was doing that day. Duh! That's why this site and all of your guys (and gals) are such a great resource, especially for a newbie. I will change my approach next time. Thank you again.

    My First Smoke...

    Thanks for the comment, Mike. Yes, I had the exhaust vent closed all the way. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be done. I thought you wanted to keep the smoke in the smoker. There was a lot of smoke coming out of the chip adding hole. Let me know so I do it right next time.

    My First Smoke...

    Ok. Thanks to all the great info I've learned on here from all of you experts, my first smoking experience came out much better than it would have without your help. Thanks so much for all the great encouragement and the advice. I made a video as the process progressed. I'm open to suggestions...

    MES QUALITY ISSUE...

    FOAMHEART - Wow - Thank you so much. You make it sound simple. Just to clarify one thing. I keep the water pan filled the whole time? And I don't need to spritz it with apple juice to keep it from drying out? One last question: Can I put a tray of vegetables in the smoker at the same time...

    MES QUALITY ISSUE...

    I moved my new MES to the deck today and did the "seasoning" process. When I put the chips in, they started smoking, just like I expected. I'm thinking of trying a slab of baby back ribs tomorrow. Here's what I know from reading other posts on here... 1. Remove membrane 2. Rub with mustard...

    I don't use anything but KC Masterpiece. Haven't for years. I love it.
