    Brisket Baby w/ pics

    I thought my Masterbuilt had broke a couple of years ago and didn't set the time for long enough when I went to bed. When I figured it out the Masterbuilt won't get any temp if it doesn't have time on the guage. Soon as I put a couple of hours on the timer it heated right up. Could this be it?

    Cinco de mayo smoke

    I'm sure 4 hours of smoke on the carnitas would give plenty of smoke. Remember it's supposed to have the carnitas flavor 1st with smoke also.

    What Is It? (Black Tar-like Substance)

    Maybe running it at 275 after smoking and drying it out then not opening the door while it cools and stores until the next time you use it. I'd try running it for an hour at 275 after removing your last smoked meat from it. Turn it off and check it in a day or so just to see how it is inside...

    What Is It? (Black Tar-like Substance)

    I have an MES 30 and I figure it's the combination of smoke, moisture from meats, spatters, oil, grease, spices getting on the sides and roof, door etc. in the smoker. Some of the guys on here run their smokers at 275 for a good hour before smoking and some run it like that after they take out...

Start at 6 in the morning and seem to end up around 8 to 11 pm. Foil at 165 and once past the stall I'll open for the last hour or 2 to crisp up the bark a bit. My...

    Pan options for the 30”

    These are what I have. They fit the MES 30 well and come with racks in the pans. About as big as you can get and still let the heat and smoke move freely around inside the smoker.
