    New to smoke, Weber 18.5 Smokey Mountain or MES

    I purchased my MES a little over 2 years ago. It has been perfect. It was reliable, easy and consistent. This allowed me to concentrate on learning the process of smoking the variety of meats. I just purchased a new Rec-Tec pellet grill which opens a whole new world of options. However, I plan...

    New to smoke, Weber 18.5 Smokey Mountain or MES

    I have no doubt that these are some very experienced people giving very good advice. I've never used a wsm, so I can't compare them. I purchased my MES digital-30  8 months ago. I have copd and am somewhat limited as to what I do physically for longer periods of time. I've smoked ribs, pork...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I spent my 15 year nursing career in high-risk labor and delivery. A male obstetric nurse is very rare so I decided to use obmitch as a screen name for everything.

    Just a Dumb Ole county boy from Little Rock, Arkansas signing in for the first time...

    My first smoker, a MES 30, arrived 2 days ago and I was able to get it assembled and burned-in for the required 3 hours before the rains came. The rains will quit tomorrow night and I'll be ready for me first smoke early Wednesday. I'm about as excited as I get about such things, it will be a...
