    MES left in the rain

    That'll do it.  I did the same thing before.

    Huge temp difference

    Nice to know it wasn't just me.  It's weird, first time I've ever had chunks of pork so tough they made noise while pulling them.  Still tasted good though.  Just had to shred it way finer than usual.

    Suggestions for accurate thermometers for MES

    True.  My first one crapped out in a little over 6 months.  First I thought it was the probes, then the display went too.  The 2 I'm using now are great.  No problems.

    Suggestions for accurate thermometers for MES

    x10! If I'm doing a lot of items, I use 2 of them.  One normally, the other with 2 food probes on it.  Love it.

    MES 40 and AMNPS........won't stay lit! PLEASE HELP!

    I think Todd's right about the water pan.  I live in a humid area, and always microwave my pellets before using them.  I do 2 min for a full AMNPS.  If I ever try to skip this step, those are the only times I run into trouble.  I smoke in my garage and was initially only opening the garage doors...

    Huge temp difference

    Thanks for the tips!  I must have been hitting fat deposits.  Both butts had big temp differences.  I left them both in til the low end caught up to 205.  One still had a lot of tough spots, the other (the biggest temp dif) came out great and fell apart in my hands.  It ended up finishing at...

    Huge temp difference

    I'm smoking a couple of 10lb pork butts in my mes, and one of them has a 20 degree difference from one end to the other.  Anybody else get temp swings this far apart in the same butt?  Any suggestions on how long to let it go?  I was gonna take it out at 205, but that means half of it will only...

    Time to reheat pulled pork?

    Thanks.  Good to have a point of reference. I'll definitely save the juices too.

    Time to reheat pulled pork?

    I'm smoking a lot of pulled pork for a graduation party Sunday.  I'm starting with 60 lbs & hope to end up with around 30-35 lbs when I'm finished.  I've been searching the boards for ways to reheat pulled pork, & I think I've settled on putting it in 2 stainless pans, covered tightly with foil...

    Starting the AMNPS

    Propane torch works best.  I bought the butane, & wish I would have gone with the propane one.

    MES 30 vs MES 40

    The 40 lets you smoke a full rack of ribs without cutting them.  For me, the extra room is more than worth the extra money.

    2012 MES 40 inch confusion (learning)

    AMNPS with the Pitmaster's Blend pellets is the way to go!  You're gonna be loving your new smoker!

    Temp changes after foiling

     I'll have to try a second probe next time.  It should have had plenty of time to recover.  I waited a full hour before bumping the temp up.  Not a big problem, just seems weird that it would change so drastically just from foiling.

    Temp changes after foiling

    I'm noticing a weird thing with my MES 40.  Not hard to deal with, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows why this is happening.  When I'm smoking meat I get the temp set & it stays nice & consistent.  Then once I wrap the meat in foil, I have to turn the temp up 30 degrees just to maintain the...

    2012 MES 40 first smoke review - long

    I use the AMNPS every time in mine, & I'd still go with the new one.  I'd always be worried that it had rough treatment in shipping, & that something else was gonna break.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
