    First time smoking and more temp problems

    Just an update: I realized I wasn't using the food probe so I decided to attach that and drop it in. obviously I can't see where it's placed or anything but that's reading 243. I decided to lower the temp on the unit to 220 and the BBQ probe is staying at 170. I think this maverick is going...

    First time smoking and more temp problems

    This is my first time using the smoker with meat in it. I'm smoking baby back ribs. 3 racks cut into 6 half racks. I used the top 3 racks. Set it to 230. During preheat it got to 230 and I loaded it with meat. I filled the water pan with warm water and room temp apple juice. I allowed the...

    I can't stop MES 30 temp

    Thank you everyone for the advice. Im still trying to figure the thing out. The temperature could read 280 when set to 250 (as an example) but if I lower the temp to 247, the temp will drop to 260. It seems very sporadic. Where is the ideal placement for the probe?

    Thank you I just did that. I didn't place the probe in any special place. I just kinda dropped it in. the probe that came with the smoker registers 317 as well so something is definetly not right.

    I can't stop MES 30 temp

    Hello I'm seasoning my brand new smoker. I set it for 275 and according to my Maverick I'm at 330 and rising. Is this normal? I knew there was a difference in temp but not this great of a difference. Any suggestions?

    5 and 1/2 pound pork shoulder on Electric Smoker: How long?

    Can someone please explain to me the purpose of putting the pork in a cooler? Why not just put it in a tin try and leave it on the stove? Do you put foil and then paper towels? Im a rookie. Please explain. Thank you

    Questions from a first time smoker and owner of MES 30"

    Everyones responses have been very helpful. Another question for everyone, how does everyone have their smoker set up? Do you just put it on a grill matt? Keep it on the ground? I am most likely using mine on a deck and don't want to ruin the deck. I have a small square metal folding table...

    First pork butt in my new MES 30

    Thanks Tom. I guess I will have to plan early morning and all day smokes opposed to overnight. Since I am new to smoking and just purchased the smoker, I really want to try the MES as is. In time I will most likely order the AMNPS.

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    The first part of mine is fairly self explanatory... The TCB is for "Takin care of business in a flash" which was Elvis' moto and logo. Im a huge Elvis fan. The 77 is for my birth year as well as the year Elvis died!!!

    Questions from a first time smoker and owner of MES 30"

    Once again, thank you. Would you say a 1LB bag of chips would get me through a single smoke? I really want to try what comes with the smoker and then later on invest in the AMNPS once Ive perfected the smoker.

    First pork butt in my new MES 30

    When you cooked it overnight did you have to get up ever hour to refill the wood chips? I just ordered an MES and I am trying to gather as much info as possible. Also, how much wood chips did you end up going through? I want to know what I need to keep on hand. Thank you
