    MES 40 2.5 Impressions

    I agree, and I did gloss over the startup swings because I viewed that as a natural limitation of the electric heating element, and my offset takes an hour or so to settle in too.

    MES 40 2.5 Impressions

    For no good reason I decided I needed another smoker.  Being 42 and single with no kids, there was no argument about it.  I've been using a Horizon 16in. Backyard Classic offset either with charcoal or a fabricated LP burner attachment for the firebox and I've added a Magnum PIG cold smoke...

I found this forum while researching sausage binders and this...
