    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Sorry I haven't responded, work has me running....cold, wet weather is my season....hence the name Muck Man (Muck Boots)! It was a tough decision to make such a jump in price, etc. but I will have my PG500 next week and am excited for it!  This will allow me to explore some other avenues I have...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Sad news, earlier this week I did some cheese cold smoking during the 7 degree temps here in Kansas City.  I made the decision to move my MES inside the garage to remove the cheese to get out of the cold.  I didn't get it put on my table in a level spot and it fell over smashing the door off!  I...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I bought mine from Walmart back in '06 I believe, love it.  Have done everything on it. A friend suggested a small fan blowing towards the chip holder (3 holes in there), helps keeps the airflow and chips burning/smoking....works well. My brother-in-law uses a "true" smoker with wood...

    cleaning your mes 30?

    I spray my racks and drip pan with PAM before starting.  Rinse off better when finished.  After 7 years I have only cleaned the racks and pan.  If short smoke and most comes off I put in dishwasher.  For longer smokes I use steel wool on both, works great!

    Cuts of Meat - Cow & Pig

    I'm purchasing 1/2 a cow and 1/2 a pig for the first time in a few weeks.  I've done some research on cuts for each one, but what would you suggest as my best options?

    Getting started with a Masterbuilt (many questions)

    I've had a MES for many years and love it.  Yes, temp gauge is not accurate, haven't had the best of luck with sticking another temp gauge in there w/o it touching one of the metal racks.   I do have an idea mine is off about 14 degrees (hotter). I do spray my racks w/PAM or some olive oil...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    nothing too crazy for me, I'm a sales rep and the main line I sell is The Original Muck Boot....some of my dealers call me the "Muck Man" when I walk in the door.  Now if I can just get a deer this year while wearing my Muck Boots I can smoke some deer!

    Greetings from Muck Man

    My name is Kevin and I'm from Kansas City, MO. I smoke on an electric Masterbuilt smoker that I've had for about 7 years, when I first started smoking. I'm not an expert, but enjoy the art of trying to create good food to eat. I'm partial to my electric as to control my temp easier. I use...
