    Cold Smoke Generator for the MES

    I'll try to answer questions. The MES is NOT on, not even plugged in. The inside temp of the MES increased about 2 degrees F due to the smoke. There is NO insulation in the SS bottle. Just thin SS wall. It does get hot. I didn't notice the fly till after the picture was taken. Don't know...

    Latch Broke on MES

    "My latch broke on my MES last weekend. It looks like the pins or rivets that hold it on came loose." The door latch on my 30" SS MES is attached with screws.

    Well, I've put it off long enough

    "I made the firebox baffle and the tuning plate" Nice work and pictures. What material (steel, aluminum, etc) did you use for the baffle and tuning plates? How thick was it?

    where can I buy wood chunks?

    Not sure where you are located. In the Kansas City area check out the Ace Hardware stores. They have chips and chunks at a good price. Surprising selection. I stock up when I visit.

    MES Hot Spot

    I don't have a number of identical thermo probes to do a scientific test, so I'll leave that to others. My test will be the next time I do a couple of fatties. Will the one on the right still get done faster? Will see. Others have also wondered about the exhaust on the other side. It may...

    MES Hot Spot

    That would be another approach. In any case, by using a magnet there is no need to drill thru the cabinet. By attaching to be cabinet back (with the magnet) the vertical/horiz position is easily changed.

    Aluminum vs. Steel Tuning Plates

    Here's my .02 worth. Tuning plates keep heat from rising. Maybe I should say tuning plates control the amount of heat rise. The spacing between plates allows some heat to rise while moving the rest along to the next plate. Heavy steel plates may not warp as much as thinner aluminum plates. If...

    Help ! Pickled Florescent Light Fixture

    Here's what I do with Pickled Florescent Light Fixtures. Put in all new bulbs. If it still doesn't work and there's no loose connections, etc. it's very probably the ballast. Lowes and Home Depot carry replacement ballasts. Take the old one with you. ( Make a drawing of the wires and...
