    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Agree 100% with the vent closed on the MES.  Even closed, it's not really closed.  Steam (water pan) and smoke still escape.  I've had the best results with mine closed for the initial smoke period before foiling ribs or a shoulder.  I've also learned that after foiling I get great bark results...

    If you want a smoke ring with your MES, try this.

    Dood - that setup is hardcore !  SWEET !

    Great forums here.  Got the MES30 and Jeff's book for Christmas.  Addicted to smoking forever now.

    Water leaking from the back left side of MES 30"

    I had the water leaking issue also.  On mine its condensation from smoking in sub 45F weather.  The MES30 is great.
