    Over Smoked

    I smoked for the first time this past weekend and apparently "over-smoked".  I want to learn so my family will enjoy the food I smoke.  I have an MES 40".  How do you tell when you need to add more chips?  The MES 40 has a window, so I watch the smoke in the unit, but don't know how thick it...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    hfitch, I agree on thsize of the MES 30.  i originally got a Cajun Injector which is essentially a MES 30 and upgraded to the MES 40 before i even opened the box. Just curious, but why are you switching to propane?

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I just got mine from Sam's Club yesterday.  I pre-seasoned it and am ready to use it for the first smoke.  Any suggestions for someone who has never smoked before?

    CAJUN INJECTOR vs. MASTERBUILT 30"

    here's what I've learned over the past couple days of extensive web searching on the Cajun Injector.  They made some changes in the past year to upgrade some things.  The old model had issues with the heating element and wiring.  The wiring was exposed or near the water pan which caused issues. ...

    CAJUN INJECTOR vs. MASTERBUILT 30"

    Santa Brought Me a Smoker

    Santa Brought Me a Smoker

    Yes, I'm in the same boat.  I read some older reviews saying the heating element broke after a short while, but they have made some upgrades in 2012, so this issue may have been fixed.  Thanks for the info.

    Santa Brought Me a Smoker

    It's model 22174-07030.  I have read a lot of people on here use the MES-30.  How do they compare?

    Santa Brought Me a Smoker

    I'm in California.  I received a Cajun Injector smoker for Christmas and know nothing about smoking.  I'm trying to find info on the smoker before I open the box and can't return it.  Can anyone give me some pro's and con's on this unit? Thanks, Shanan
