    Model?

    I picked up this smoker on the side of the road yesterday. I don’t know what model it is, I know that it is a New Braunfels Smoker and that’s it. I couldn’t find it anywhere on the web.

    MES 30 Temp. Overrun

    I’ve been using my MES 30 in temperatures below 20 deg. F even below zero. I’ve noticed swings in temperature 30-40 deg. above set temperature it always goes back down to set temperature and below. I believe that over the coarse of the smoke the average temperature is pretty close to what I was...

    I used chips in my tube. Packed them real tight in the tube and it works just like pellets. I guess I hadn’t read anywhere that pellets wouldn’t work in the mailbox.

    Apple? The smoky flavor has come from my hickory chips I think. Could my chips be spoiled or something like that? Now that I’ve got the mailbox set up I don’t think I’ll be using the hickory chips much. Just wondering if it’s possible for the chips to spoil or maybe run out of fizz?

    I bought another amazen pellet tube. (12”)

    I think I’m figuring out the smoke. No matter what I find that the vent needs to be wide open. Too many things I’ve smoked have been too smoky. I’m using the mailbox method, it’s helping but still have a lot to learn!

    After taste

    It was -10 last night, still got up to 220-225 in half hour. Loin took 4 hrs to get done all the way through. 145-150.

    Wide open for the whole time or just when I add the chips? I’ve have an amazen tube.

    Vent open halfway the whole time.

    After taste

    Wood chips from fleet farm. Only filled the smoker tube once and that was an hour after I put the meat in.

    Brand new to using electric smokers. I bought a used Big Chief a while back and now for Christmas/Anniversary I got a Masterbuilt 30”! I have been doing a little bit of smoking on my Akorn kamado, but the electric smoking seems to be a little different. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

    After taste

    I get a very smoky after taste to my meat after using both of my electric smokers. Thought maybe it was the brine I used in the beef jerky on the Big Chief. But last night I smoked a pork loin in my Masterbuilt (Christmas present!) and had the same after taste. What am I doing wrong?

    After taste

    I get a very smoky almost bitter taste to my meat after smoking with both of my electric smokers. Two batches of beef jerky on my Smokehouse Big Chief and a pork loin on my Masterbuilt.
