    MES 30 wont heat

    Good to know, thanks. Just ordered the T1111 since I wasn't sure my crimper could do the other style. I'll replace them when they come in but for now I can at least use it again.

    MES 30 wont heat

    Yeah just got around to opening the back 2 panels. One of the contacts going to the heating coil is corroded. Not a very good system since I've only had it a little over a year and store it inside my garage. Can't imagine how quickly it would have gone bad outside. I'll crimp on a new...

    MES 30 wont heat

    I went to smoke some ribs today and my MES30 isn't heating. Controls all look like it is working but element doesn't heat up. Fortunately I have a portable smoker too. Not as good at maintaining the temp in it and won't hold all of the ribs but at least I have something. I'll check what is...

    Masterbuilt Portable Electric Smoker

    I use this cake pan and foil it along with a tray inside it and the meat on top.  Haven't done ribs and I'm using pellets in a toolbox so can't help on your ribs.  I will say I'm not sure if I trust the temp gauge on this little smoker so be aware.  My thermometer I put inside says it is...

    Masterbuilt Portable Electric Smoker Toolbox Mod

    My portable smoker was burning up the pellets too quickly so I decided to do a mailbox mod. For this one I bought a toolbox so it was easier to transport. Also got some 2" aluminum pipe tube to connect them. Already had a damper from my other mailbox mod. I'm going to add a cover or plug for my...

    I'm using the 5x8 AMNPS in this picture.  With the portable smoker being so little the pellets burned up too fast.  I want to do some type of mailbox mod so the AMNPS is external and just supplying smoke.  I do that with my bigger Masterbuilt and it works well.  I have a box I want to use just...

    Brisket Rub?

    I use the brisket rub from the Masterbuilt site and really like it.  Use it on everything but want to find a different rub for my pork butt.  I'm wondering what's in Jeff's rub.  Can't have much if any sugar in it since it doesn't do well for my wife.  (if anybody can message me what's in it...

    Portable smoker recommendations please

    I can see how propane would work best for you. I was thrilled when they came out with the electric version. Now I'm going to make a mailbox mod for it since my pellets burned up too fast in it.

    Portable smoker recommendations please

    And I like the electric since electricity is included with the campsites. :D

    Portable smoker recommendations please

    I bought the Masterbuilt Portable Electric Smoker so I could take one camping and other places. http://masterbuilt.com/product/portable-electric-smoker/ I used it for Thanksgiving and did a pork butt and then a turkey breast.  When I did the butt I got it from Costco and did the entire thing...

    Masterbuilt Portable Electric Smoker

    Super.  You will really like it.  Yes I do have a MES30 also.  I did the mailbox mod on it and really like how the pellets burn with it. Getting acquainted to the portable one.  Used my Amazen with the pellets and where I put it was too close to the heating element so they all started smoking...

    Masterbuilt Portable Electric Smoker

    Tray fits great and rack fits in the tray too. Need to figure out a better location for the temp probe I'm using. Says my internal temp is really high but I think it is touching metal. Thermometer on the door seems to be better. Here are some pictures.
