    MES30 Chip Tray "Upgrade" looks exactly like old one

    Thanks everybody.  I just put my old one back in and kept chugging along.  I like having spare parts around, so these may just come in handy one day.  I agree, I'm shocked that Masterbuilt doesn't do a better job at tracking their SN#'s, but hey, I'll take the rest of the smoker too if they'll...

    MES30 Chip Tray "Upgrade" looks exactly like old one

    Am I missing something here?  I'm a noob... so maybe I just dont' know what the mod is supposed to look like.  I called Masterbuilt and provided my model# and SN# and they stated the kit was on backorder (seems to be the norm), but that I needed it.  About a month later it arrived and today I...

    Whole turkey cooked - still pink at the thigh

    Good point Raptor... it seems if the thigh can get done, there's no way the breast won't be done by then.  I'm lucky enough to have 2 wireless probes... one by itself and one in the MES, so I carry 2 remotes around... one probe in the thigh and one in the breast, but I'll definintely start...

    Whole turkey cooked - still pink at the thigh

    rbranstner, thanks for the info... I've got an ice pack from the chiropractor that's really just super cold gel in a bag.  You put it on you and it cools down to the bone QUICK!  Maybe I'll try that next time... wrapped in syran wrap or something.  And I've seen pink meat before down near the...

    Whole turkey cooked - still pink at the thigh

    Thanks everybody... I forgot to mention that I ended up using the Slaughterhouse brine on this bird (first time brining).  Down near the bone on the breast where I didn't overcook the meat, it was KILLER.  Very tender and moist.  A couple of more questions... Any idea why the temperature in the...

    Whole turkey cooked - still pink at the thigh

    Last weekend I smoked a 10lb turkey on my MES 30 with mesquite wood (much prefer hickory) and I just put it right on the top grate, as far away from the heat as possible.  I had the water pan almost completely full with a 1/2 water, 1/2 apple juice mix.  I preheated the MES to 275 and popped in...

    Chipping Wood

    I have an apple tree and was cutting up some seasoned wood into VERY thin slices... maybe 1/4" thick or so... with my miter saw.  The next thing I know, the wood flew out of my hand and hit the wall 15 feet away... I'd hit a knot in it.  I now cut larger pieces (while trying to avoid knots)...

    Noobie with a 30" MES and a few questions

    Thanks again for the warm welcomes.  Something strange happened... I did the bird lying down with the breast up on the middle rack and the breast got to 165, yet the thigh/breast area was only 159.  I finally gave up at 170 breast, 159 thigh and just pulled it and tented it to rest for 30...

    Noobie with a 30" MES and a few questions

    Thanks for the quick replies everybody... I'm planning to put the bird on around 10am this morning and pulling it around 2:30-3ish (depending on the temperature, of course).  Mike, yes... that chicken leg was the victim of a lil' samplin' along the way.  Man, smoked meat is out of this world...

    Noobie with a 30" MES and a few questions

    Hey everybody... I scored an MES 30" electric smoker from my job thru some Corporate perk rewards program... best thing that ever came out of that place!    I've had it around 4 weeks and I've smoked twice on it.  The first time I just did some chicken legs, thighs and bone-in breasts with...
