    Frustrating First Brisket with new MES 40

    I didn't want to spend anymore money after buying the smoker and the Maverick 732 but I'm afraid there's no avoiding it if I want smoke.

    Frustrating First Brisket with new MES 40

    Well the brisket turned out better than I had thought.  There was virtually no smokey taste since I couldn't get any smoke generated but it was tasty just the same.  Once the internal temps hit 190 I pulled the brisket, wrapped it in a towel and put it in a cooler for about an hour.  My only...

    Frustrating First Brisket with new MES 40

    Decided to go with a brisket for my first smoke on my new MES 40.  Unfortunately it's been a frustrating experience.  I got out of bed at 5:15 to start cooking up the 5.5 lb flat brisket.  What I have read about the MES and its inability to create smoke at low temperatures is very true.  Outside...

    First Brisket Qview

    Mighty nice looking brisket...I'm cooking up my first one tomorrow.  We don't have Big Red up her in Michigan but I'm guessing it's very similar to Faygo Red Pop.  Can't beat it on a hot summer day.

    Pulled Beef

    Going to be cooking on my brand new MES 40 this weekend and was thinking about doing pulled beef.  Curious as to what cut of beef to use and what type of rubs or marindes.  How about cook times?  Fired up about using the new smoker!!!

    New guy from AR

    It's good to be a Sparty these days with the success of both the basketball and football programs.  When I was at state in the late 80's we didn't have the success they're having now.  Although they did win the Rose Bowl my last year in East Lansing.  Are you still in Michigan or now residing in...

    MES 40 - Plug Into Wall

    You can't beat the price we got! A couple weeks after I placed my order the price went up $30 on our model. Masterbuilt came out with a new model 40 but I'm not sure what the difference between the two models are but can't imagine it's worth $100 more.

    MES 40 - Plug Into Wall

    Per all the helpful advice I went out and picked up a 25' / 12 gauge cord at lunch this afternoon.  I checked out the owners manual on the new MES 40 and they had the following to say about using extension cords: • Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in...

    MES 40 - Plug Into Wall

    After a long wait I'm finally getting my MES 40. I've read at least in one post that you need to plug the unit directly into the wall outlet rather than using an extension cord. The post stated that the unit wouldn't heat properly. I'm not an electrician but that doesn't sound right to me...
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
