    Thermopro and MES Probes reading low

    Liquid in Water Pan

    Do how many of you all put some kind of liquid in the water pan of your Masterbuilt electric smoker? So far in the 6-7 times I’ve used mine I haven’t added any. Just curious thanks!

    Where to put ambient temp probe in MES smoker

    So now that I have a couple smokes under my belt I was wondering where everyone puts their probe to measure the ambient temperature of their smoker? So far I have tried on the same rack as the meat and clipped to the rack directly above the meat.

    What wood for brisket?

    Ended up using all oak @ 230 degrees. Pulled it out at 188 IT. I think it turned out excellent.

    What wood for brisket?

    Getting ready to smoke my first brisket in the morning. I was wondering what wood you all use for brisket? After reading a lot of different posts I was wondering what you all thought about a hickory and cherry or hickory and pecan mix?

    Wood chips vs Pellets

    All, thanks for your input but the question I was tying to get at is do you think the smoke quality of the chips is as good as the pellets. I know the pellets will last way longer.

    First smoke

    All. Finished product. Maybe just a bit heavy on the smoke but all an all I think turned out great. Took out at 143 IT and let rest under foil for 10-15 minutes. Definitely still very moist.

    First smoke this weekend questions

    I have pre-seasoned the smoker and have bought a TP-20 to use to monitor the meat and smoker temperature. Plan on smoking at 225 for however long it takes to get the loin to 145-150 IT that sound right? Thanks again!

    First smoke this weekend questions

    I am planning on doing a pork loin in my MES340G this weekend. Should I preheat it before I put the loin in and also if I do preheat it should I add wood chips while it is preheating or wait until I add the loin to add the wood chips? Thanks in advance for any replies!
