    Little Help with Temperature on MES 30" Needed.

    I agree that I should cook by the meat probe. I just do not understand the huge fluctuation the "Smoke" Smoker probe is giving. I don't see how it could be reading 333* and then 314* in a smoker that is only capable of going to 275*. Makes it hard for me to trust. Even so, I will use the...

    Little Help with Temperature on MES 30" Needed.

    I gave everything about 15 minutes to settle down some. Again, the MES is set for a temperature of 275*. The readout for the smoker temperature is drifting between 271* and 275*. Very close (IF) it is accurate. The Thermoworks Smoke "Smoker temperature probe" (short one) is now connected...

    Little Help with Temperature on MES 30" Needed.

    Thanks for the reply Richie. The more I watch the temps on the two Units, (smoker digital readout and Thermoworks readout the more it worries me. The smoker digital readout says the temperature is 280.3* inside when it is set at 275* That is close enough to work with. But the Thermoworks...

    Little Help with Temperature on MES 30" Needed.

    Sorry for the delay Dave but no, I have not. I am pretty sure our oven is off some on the low temp side.

    Little Help with Temperature on MES 30" Needed.

    Hi all, I have a brand new MES 30" gen 2.5 smoker that I an seasoning as I type. I set the temperature to wide open which is 275 degrees and set the timer for 3 hours. When there is one hour left, I plan to start the AMNPS with some Hickory pellets so it will get some smoke for the last hour...

    AMNS made more "amazen" for MES 30

    Warren, the pellets tray is not setting on the element. The element is in somewhat of a metal tray by itself. It may get some heat from the proximity to the element but I would be interested in how it did. Now I am completely new to smoking so have no experience but I have heard several times...

    Finally (almost) ready for my first smoke.

    Thanks Meatman, I have read about the stall and know to just wait it out. I will get several smokes in this summer and by next winter plan to have a place where I can comfortably do some smoking when the weather is not cooperating like it has been the last couple of weeks.

    Finally (almost) ready for my first smoke.

    Well, I finally got my stuff delivered today so maybe I can get my first smoke in if we get a warm(er) day in the near future. I have had my new MES 30" in for a while now but was waiting on the meat thermometer I had ordered. It arrived in Indianapolis last Thursday. Then we got snowed on so...

    Where are the Indiana members located?

    Haha, I know that feeling. I have not hunted is quite a few years but do fish as much as I can. Mostly catch and release since I catch a lot more than I can use. I did some hunting today at Wally world and snuck up on some pork ribs that had a decent price. The Spare ribs were $2.11 a pound...

    Confirmation that this is the gen 2.5 MES

    Bear, I am sure there is a reason but I couldn't locate it. Why even leave the chip tray or water bowl in the smoker if it is not being used. Wouldn't it give better heat circulation without them? Tom

    Jeff, your in a good place to go after those big catfish in the Ohio. I have to drive 120 miles to get there. I just got my MES 30" a little over a week ago. I wanted to go smaller to start with and at a price of $199 for a gan 2.5 I pulled the trigger. Here is one of those little cats down...

    Confirmation that this is the gen 2.5 MES

    I see, I thought sure there was room but that doesn't account for good air flow. So, that would be the same on my 2.5 MES 30" then. Good to know.

    New to smoking.

    Aaron, I was just in Knoxville TN between the holidays and my son smoked some ribs for us with his weber (WSM). He had some trouble keeping the temperature up because it was very cold outside with just a light breeze. But that was enough to make control very difficult. Not sure what your...

    Patiently Waiting

    Haha, welcome to the site. I understand the forces of nature while awaiting your new smoker to arrive. That part about not asking silly questions once you get started, I am sure that is a non binding statement. :cool: good luck

    New to smoking.

    Hi Aaron, I am very new here myself and am awaiting my meat thermometer before starting my first smoke. I just wanted to welcome you to the sight. There, as you probably know is a lot of information here. We each tend to search out the areas that pertain to our type of smoker so we in some...
