I went to the website,last night looking for help with the for the new app.Saw a video showing the new app. You can slide the temp up by touching the 35º and dragging it to desired temp...I went to the control panel on the unit and set my time and temp!  They really need to fix the app. My Ipad...

yes ...same 

Yes...I was suprised to see the new app when I first turned it on. Will take a few tries to get used to it...I had to rename my smoker. It deleted my old "profile". After being on for 2 hours it is still partially blocked. The app still is buggy but it still seems to work, I had to re-connect 1...

Just as an FYI..... I have a 30in MES w/ BT I have only used it a few times BUT I have only used the Control panel to turn it on. I then use my IPad and the App to control it from then on. I have NOT had any problems at all monitoring temp/time etc.  Hope this helps...

Bear, I have been nosing around your "step by steps" and want to THANK YOU in advance for all the effort you put into them. I am looking forward to doing my 1st pulled pork very soon. And yes I feel alot better armed as I am. I will be borrowing some of your steps and will let you know how I...

This is my 1sr Smoker, Got it from the home depot. A friend and my neice both have 1 and after having some smoked foods in it I HAD to get one. HD didn't have the 30in gen 2 in stock so they let me have the 30in gen 2.5 w/ BT for the same price....Too good to refuse and apparantly after from...

Thanks for the additional tip...will try that the next time I do the ribs. I only change 1 thing at a time as it is easier to keep track of any changes that way, besides giving me a reason to do them again and again 

Just wanted to say hi and tell you a bit about my experience.   MES 30in Digital with the BT. The big orange giant gave it to me for the price of the non digital.....couldn't refuse it! Decided to smoke some St louis style ribs. 2nd try. It was a balmy 35° degrees when I fired up the smoker to...
