    ATTENTION !!!!!!!!!!!! THOSE WHO DEEP FRY

    Most of what you say is true, but don't put rub on the outside. The oil will just burn the rub and you don't get the flavor. If you try to do another bird you will find that it effects the flavor. Either inject the bird or brim it for 12 to 24 hrs. I have been frying birds for over six years. I...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I think it has some new bells and whistles. Remote control and meat probe, as if it wasn't already  hard  to smoke with the MES 30.

    I have only smoked a few times in cold weather.  I built a temp shed , and used a prone heater.  Your way sounds a lot easier.  Thanks for the new way.

    Soaking wood is a NO NO

    I like to soak the wood and mix with some dry wood and place it in the feeder. I have been using this method  for over two years. By the time the dry wood is used up the soaked wood is just coming on. I use an electric smoker MES30. I hope this may be of  help some one.

    cleaning your mes 30?

    Just as others have said, foil the drip pan and water pan. Then wash the racks in the dish washer. If i see a large amount of build up I wipe it before it cools with vinegar. Never put anything in there you would not eat, except the wood chips.

    Chipping Wood

    Kevin13, I think you should age the cherry before chip and you use it.  I do some wood working, and have a plainer that i have tried on some black walnut. I hope the walnut is good, I normal use apple, cherry, and mesquite.
