Post smoke equipment clean up question
Great advice and thanks! Glad to know that you haven't gotten any goo in the very bottom collector. I've used the alum pans and foil in my Akorn, so will do the same with the MES. I'm a little concerned about doing a brisket as I usually have a lot of stuff in the pan afterwards, but I'll be...- randyrayd

wood vs. pellets?
Your question confuses me, but I'm easily confused. You say you want an electric smoker but by "wood smoker" do you mean a grill with an offset firebox or do you mean an electric smoker using wood chips? I just bought an 40" Masterbuilt Electric Smoker (MES) that is designed for use with wood...- randyrayd

smoked yard bird
Since you guys post some delicious looking grub, I'll play along until I run out of unique ideas. I recently did a chicken on the new MES and it turned out pretty good. I'm a big procrastinator and didn't do a brine, but that probably would have made it perfect. I only have the Pitmaster... -

Electric Smokers ... Bradley vs Masterbuilt????
I recently bought a 40" MES (never owned a Bradley), and I'm starting to love it but only have in 3 smokes. You could get an Auber PID controller for your WSM. Mine seems more accurate than my oven. I got one for my Akorn ever since I went for a six pack and my temp shot up over 100* in a...- randyrayd

Post smoke equipment clean up question
Thanks for the reply bigbore. I'm not talking about a major cleaning, but the liquids and grease that accumulate on the bottom and the food that sticks to the grates. I don't want a grease puddle on the bottom of the smoker going rancid. I'm sure there's a bunch of smarter-than-me people that...- randyrayd

Post smoke equipment clean up question
I'm not sure what generation MES I have, but it was branded "Cabela's Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite". I'll post a pic at the end of this post. The first question pertains to the drain pan and reservoir at the bottom. There is a tray that fills the bottom of the smoker with a hole which...- randyrayd

"quick smoked?" salmon
Due to piss-poor planning, or actually a last-minute scooter ride, I didn't have enough time to brine some salmon that I needed to prepare since it was Friday and I'm a good (right) Catholic. I didn't have my AMNPS tube yet, so used some Cherry chips. I put the taters on first, then onions and... -

disappointed first smoke with MES....equipment issues?
Goldmine, I'm calling MB and see what they say. Bear, I have other thermometers, but didn't use them at the time because all I could visualize was my ribs turning into crispy critters and wanted to get them out of the smoker. The unit indicated the heating element was still on. I quickly...- randyrayd

disappointed first smoke with MES....equipment issues?
Maiden smoke with 40" MES. I prepped yesterday and for some reason, the temp maxed at 311. I figured this was maybe due to the unit being empty or maybe some chips had flared, but wasn't too concerned since I was curing it. I bought some beef and pork ribs yesterday (no sense in wasting smoke)...- randyrayd

Howdy from deep in the heart of Texas!
Fairly long time griller/smoker, but newbie on the forum. I just cured my new 40-inch MES. I was very disappointed the the smoke output during the cure and have ordered AMNPS plus chips. Of course I can't wait and have already bought some pork and beef ribs. I'll have to smoke them manana so...
