    Can there be too much smoke in a MES

    I was using pecan (store bought chunks). I think it was a little too strong. I am trying some ribs today on the 3-2-1 method. This time I bought a bag of mesquite chucks. I am shooting for only a small amount of smoke, so I will only be adding a chunk when I dont see any more smoke. Finally...

    Can there be too much smoke in a MES

    I think I found out you can put too much smoke to some meat. Or I did something else wrong. I seared a small 1.5 lb pork tenderloin on grill until it got to 120 degrees, and placed it in the MES, and added some chucks and a charcoal briquette. Added some more chunks an hour later. When I...

    New MES owner, Sams version

    I have the exact same problem with the seal, and when I called customer service, they said I only needed a new seal, and not a new door. They siad there should be a clip every 6 inches on the bottom, not just one in the middle. Will wait and see when I get the new seal. Also I am having...

    Masterbuilt Door Seal Problem on 40"

    I think others were having the same problem, just wanted to mention it here on what to do. If I partially close the damper I see smoke coming out by the top corner near the door hinges. Also I noticed that on the bottom seal there is only one clip that looks like a nail. It does not stay in...

    Question on 40" Masterbuilt

    I dont know, I had it set at 225, and it got to 160 in about 3-4 hours (I did sear it, so it started at about 100 F in the smoker), and in 1.5 hours it was at 190. Obviously somthing didnt work, becuase it was not tender. Also Ididnt add anything when I foiled it other than a little more...

    Question on 40" Masterbuilt

    Thanks for help. How often should soaked water chips be added to the MES? Every hour? Maybe next time I will try it longer without wrapping.

    Question on 40" Masterbuilt

    I got the Sams special on Saturday, the 40" model, and sprayed it down with Pam and seasoned it Saturday afternoon. I christened it with a brisket but it didnt turn out as expected. There was no smoke ring, and the brisket did not turn out as tender as I had hoped. I set the MES to 225...

    New 40" Masterbuilt - New to Smoking in Louisiana

    I purchased the 40" Masterbuilt special at Sams, and sorry to say for my first run, I didnt have too good a luck with a brisket. I tried to follow all the advice here, but I guess I did something wrong. Got up at 5:00 this morning and put the hickory chips soaking and turn the MB on...

    Masterbuilt Price Comes Down

    I bought one yesterday for $267 + $39 3 year warranty. $309 Out the door. Sams only sells the 40". I had ordered the 34" from WalMart for $189 but I am going to return it when it gets in. BTW, other than the height and the stainless exterior, I belive everything between the 40" and 34" is...

    Looking for Cajun Smoked Chicken Patty Recipe
