    My New Grill Came Today

    I am the happy new owner of a GMG Daniel Boone grill.  It was delivered this afternoon along with a thermal blanket and frog mats.  I'm really looking forward to cooking this weekend.  This is going to be fun.

    Looking for Thermometer recommendations

    I like the idea of using shrink tube on the leads. I might have to try that.

    Replaced the new with the old

    Right now it's doing we'll. I've been jiggling the temp on the remote to keep the ET-732 at 225 to 230 and its working. Ribs are in foil and in another two hours I'm good to go.

    Replaced the new with the old

    I just put in a batch of St Louis ribs for dinner and am not having fun with my MES 40 new model. I had to get a new controller because the original liked to overshoot my temps by 50+ gegrees. However the new controller wouldn't work with my original remote so to get these ribs going I had to...

    MES 30" Newest Gen add ons

    If you want unattended smoke you will need an AMNPS from Amazen Products, one of the sponsors here. It will produce 11 hours of smoke if used correctly. That and Todd's Pitmaster pellets and you will be in smoke heaven.

    Easy way to clean MES 30

    The inside I clean with a good dose of Dawn dish detergent. I use a 3M scrub brush to get the crud off after the soaking. It's safe for stainless and glass. Keep a bucket of water close to rinse the scrub brush. Then, if you have the glass door, use rubbing alcohol and the 3M scrub brush and...

    Recipe Help

    I've seen pictures of skewered pork strips about an inch square and four inches long wrapped in bacon and then smoked and grilled. I believe it used a thick chop cut into strips and wrapped. Does someone have a recipe for them or know what they're called so I can get the details. Thanks in...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    Even with some of the issues mentioned here it's still a good smoker. I've made some great meals on mine and with the exception of a couple of items haven't regretted my purchase. I bought the Gen 2 version and it's done what I've asked without wrecking the food. That includes below zero...

    New MES 40 Controller

    I spoke with Masterbuilt this morning. I explained the situation and the solution offered was to replace the remote and controller. They require a number off the back of the MES that I didn't have on me. Apparently there is a number that designates the factory code. The factory code is used...

    I Got the Go Ahead!!!

    My loving bride gave me the go ahead to pick up a new pellet grill at the end of the month. I've looked at a bunch of brands online and it looks as though the GMG Daniel Boone will be the one I'll be getting. It fits my budget and appears to have a good feature set. Any one else here use...

    New MES 40 Controller

    I finally received my replacement MES 40 controller today. It's been on order for a month but the order ended up in purgatory and didn't ship until Monday. Anyway, I installed it and ran a test using my Maverick ET-732 to compare the smoker temp to the thermometer. The probe was set in the...

    It's Getting Close to Super Bowl Time

    There will be a whole bunch of people at my place for the Super Bowl and I need to smoke a whole bunch of food in my MES 40.  The new hated model.  That being said my question is what would you think of six racks of ribs and two pork butts at the same time?  I could get them all in there but do...

    Over Smoked

    One thing to watch for is how you start putting the chips in the smoker.  If you the full amount that the instructions call for there will be lots of smoke AND flames.  When I use the chip tray I start with only a few chips (5 - 8) let those smolder down then do it again.  This allows a base of...

    MES 40 NEW - Faulty Door - Make sure to check yours out !

    I called MB on Friday to see where my new chip box was in the shipping process. The lady I spoke with was very helpful and said it would arrive today (Friday) and it did. While I was on the phone with her I asked about my controller that was apparently still on back order since it hadn't...

    MES 40 NEW - Faulty Door - Make sure to check yours out !

    i had to replace the door on my MES 40 when the trim piece on the top cracked in the middle.  I originally asked for just the plastic piece but they sent me a new door.  I also had a controller issue that I explained to them.  The new controller was to be sent out with the door but as of yet I...
