    Beginning to hate my MES40

    Switch to an East Oak. Much bigger chip tray and, in my opinion, better temperature control. The smoke last for a few hours before you have to add more chips. I've done multiple briskets (8-10 hour smoke) and they've all come out great. The only downside is they don't make a 40" model...

    MES won't turn on - help please
