Flip The Heating Element?
Since I keep my Mes in the basement,I do the hand truck thing too. My friend just got his set up on a cart from Home Depot. Locking wheels and handle looks nice. I'll have one for mine.- 1ptbuck

Flip The Heating Element?
Again, I appreciate the advice. I did have the thing pretty stuffed with SS and I'm sure that was part of the problem. As I said, first time out for mine so I still have a lot to learn. I didn't want to open the smoker too much so I had some over cooking problems before I took my first peek...- 1ptbuck

Flip The Heating Element?
Appreciate it, guys. I think I'll try the tile next time. At the 130-170 temps I'm working with my guess is it should help a good bit. Also going to fill the water pan with sand. I didn't have a chance to pick any up last time.- 1ptbuck

Flip The Heating Element?
Thanks, JTed. I thought I had the temps sort of figured out. I moved my Mavrick probe around while seasoning since I knew the controller was going to be off. Thre wasn't that much variation from spot to spot but about 13 deg. Between the probe and controller but that all changed when I loaded it...- 1ptbuck

Flip The Heating Element?
Thanks, David. My main use for the MES is going to be sausage. Everything else I'll do in my BGE so I was just trying to figure out how to use ALL the space. I had it pretty packed with snack sticks the other day and parts of them got way overdone. If I have to avoid the hot areas that limits my...- 1ptbuck

Flip The Heating Element?
So after my first smoke in my new MES 30 I noticed the infamous hot spot on the right side. After research I find this is caused by the element and the exhaust both being on the right of the smoker. My question is....has anyone tried flipping the P shaped element over to reposition the heat to...- 1ptbuck

Snack stick question
Thanks, David. I already figured that out the hard way. Lol! I did my batch and just cut the sticks and found the ends had hardened. I had to trim all of them off. Now I know. :)- 1ptbuck

First Smoke With MES 30 and AMNPS. THANK YOU!
Made up some venison snack sticks and have them in my gen 1 MES for its maiden voyage. I have to say all the info on here really helped. I made a few mistakes like not warming the smoker up good before starting and may have cooked the bottom rack a little at first but I now know to heat it up...- 1ptbuck

Snack stick question
Hi, guys. First thread here for me. I just got my MES 30 and AMNPS so I'm a newb at this sausage smoking deal. I've cooked a lot of other things on my BGE but this is my first attempt doing anything in the MES. Besides a couple batches of fresh sausages, it's my first foray at smoking...- 1ptbuck

Old Newbie from WV
Howdy from Almost Heaven. Just joined the forum but have been reading a lot of the posts. I've done a good bit of cooking/smoking on my BGE for the last couple years but recently have been dabbling in sausage making. I'm currently researching vertical smokers to do them in and hope I can find...
