    MES MB20072816 Not Heating

    Hi there and welcome! The only "better" you can get is to get ceramic switches. Just know that if you wiggle the tabs on the switches AT ALL (where they connect to the back of the switch) the switch will likely melt down on you after a while (months maybe). So I found it best to gently get...

    A blast from the past - Head Country sauce

    Head Country was my favorite sugar free sauce but now Rays (by sweet baby rays) is my favorite sugar free bbq sauce. It's just damn good as is and they use allulose for the sweetener which seems to cause no issues with diabetics or keto folks. I believe some diabetics get insulin responses...

    No Machine Keto Ice Cream

    That might have to be the approach if I try it. I've learned the hard way that the pills don't work fast enough in my stomach for me to attempt regular milk or ice cream hahaha. They are fine if I happen to go wild on too much cheese. I wonder if I were to ferment the cream with my yogurt...

    No Machine Keto Ice Cream

    That all seems awesome!!!! I'm pretty lactose intolerant but still interested. I think half a cup of sharp cheddar has about the same amount of lactose as 100gm of heavy cream so that might be about the limit provided the heavy cream isn't "bulked" up with actual milk. I did go down the rabbit...

    MES Rewire Simple Guide - No Back Removal Needed!!!

    Once you rewire you can plug in the MES cord and the heating element will simply heat up but don't leave it like that. It has no control. Basically plugging it in is ON and unplugging is off. If left plugged in it will heat until the safety switch stops for short time or it burns down lol...

    MES Rewire Simple Guide - No Back Removal Needed!!!

    Nice!!!! Yeah that seems to be the favorite option of folks. It has all the bells and whistles AND is easy to use with the mobile app interface. Programming the base level one with the buttons is not intuitive. It's a 1 time act that isn't hard but their directions were written by a drunk...

    MES Rewire Simple Guide - No Back Removal Needed!!!

    No problem. Actually this will make everything nice and concise :D 1. Instructions to rewire will bypass the MES controller automatically. All the rewire is doing is connecting the MES plug wires to the wires that run to the MES heating element thereby making all the electronics in the MES...

    TRIED A COUPLE NEW THINGS

    Nice job, congrats on some great looking bbq!! All the beef back ribs here are nothing but bone and cost an arm and a leg lol. Glad to see they exist with some meat on them somewhere. It's ok though I'm in brisket land and can get short/chuck/plate ribs for smoking quite easily. Keep the good...

    Is this a good deal??

    Here I'll help enable you :P Nothing is more set and forget than a PID run electric smoker. Get a reliable 4 probe wireless thermometer with high and low alarms, do the AMNPS + mailbox mod setup, and you can smoke just about anything in a hassle free manner! I live in brisket country and...

    The sound of a generator

    It's funny how this thread pops up as I've been doing some prep for getting a hybrid inverter (Sol-Ark 15k) for the house where I can also plug in a generator if/when needed as well as setup a home battery bank. I bought this home and it had solar panels on it that have been working like a...

    Rewiring MES40 help?

    Oh I forgot lol. But yeah welcome to PID40 hahaha :P Having seen how small the MES30 is I knew the MES40 was for me. Though I'm 1 person and rarely fill it more than half, I didn't like the fact that I couldn't do a whole rack of ribs or a whole brisket in an MES30. Here in brisket land not...
