    MES40 heat issues

    My issue is that I have had two different control panels that read 45-60 degrees higher than the meat probe and my accutherm show.

    Brisket

    I bought a couple of whole packers a while back when they were $1.67lb and ground them up. They make great burgers and meatloaf. I will do it again if I catch them for the right price. Smoke it up William

    Not Enough Smoke Flavor in Brisket Cooked on MES

    As Dave stated, open the vent wide open. With the vent closed, you are not getting the air that is needed for the chips to smoke properly. Smoke it up William

    Brisket finishing early......

    Keep it on until it is probe tender in multiple places. Then pull it, wrap it up real good and put it in the ice chest. I have let them rest four hours plus more than once. Smoke it up William

    Mini WSM bad burn time

    What kind of charcoal are you using? I use KBB. How is the weather there? In cold weather, it has to burn faster to keep the temp up. I built mine using a jumbo Joe but on a really cold day (that defined as in the lower 30s here) I will only get about 5 hrs out of it unless I wrap it with a...
