    Turkey Temp Rising Too Fast?

    I had to pull mine. It was done and I don’t want to dry it out. It’ll wind up sitting tented for a couple of hours, though. Looks like I’ll be getting a better meat thermometer soon.

    Turkey Temp Rising Too Fast?

    Just using the internal monitor for the smoker temp. Using the MES probe in the breast and an Act Rite external meat thermometer for the thigh. The MES probe and the Act Rite are very close in their readings so I trust them pretty well. How accurate is the MES internal monitor? Hell if I know.

    Turkey Temp Rising Too Fast?

    Masterbuilt heating element replacement????

    Nope. Straight to the outlet. If it wasn't so easy to use - when it's functioning - I'd have taken it out and shot it.

    Masterbuilt heating element replacement????

    Well, I wish I had come here before now. I'm on my second replacement element kit from Masterbuilt for my MES 40. Smoker went out initially almost exactly 11 months after purchase (which meant I had a turkey ready to smoke for Thanksgiving when it crapped out the first time). It was tripping the...
