    Reviving a MES 30 --> PID

    This is the first Mes 30 Gen 2.5 hybrid I saw on the HSN with colored doors with windows 6+ years ago. This started the new slanted top to the right chip burner roof that pushed heat to the right rear corner before going back left to the top left vent like the Gen 2.0 that did it with the slant...

    I looked at hams and others in TX that weren't specific but Nolan Ryan beef was only TX, OK and LA so there are digital coupons to share.

    I hope it works for those anywhere that need brisket. I have 3 in the freezer at the $1.99/lb from months ago. This week is choice ribeye value packs from $15.99 on sale at $11.99 and with digital coupon $8.99/lb. Seems other areas with Kroger are $5-$7/lb with this value pack digital coupon...

    Korean Gojuchang beef short rib Pho

    Yum! I use the Gochugaru Korean pepper flakes for fermenting Kimchi. It's the most important ingredient for Kimchi otherwise it's just fermented cabbage with other veggies. It's great for pizza and anything since it's not as hot as crushed red pepper but has a little more fruit flavor of the...

    I haven't bought meat in months since TX had their digital blast.. 3 briskets, 3 butts, five slabs of ribs in the freezer. There are 6 Kroger, 2 Hyvee and 2 Schnuck's in town and I just heard a Schnuck's out of St. Louis will be closing in town. None can touch the Kroger prices.

    MES 40" exhaust configuration

    As you can see this inferior Gen 2 side vent is 1/3 open max vs an open hole. The slanted drip pan with the baby water pan pushed heat right and the left side vent is too low. the late Bearcarver went through many discussions on this lousy smoker he tested for MB. I'd close the left exhaust...

    No heat

    It's because the MB company makes newer smokers with an access to the switch to do this. They want us to throw away perfectly good smokers without an access to the switch. So we make one. Some people do not have rivet guns or screw rivets but have Dremel cut off wheels that make for a 10 - 20...

    No heat

    The dremel cut off wheel 4"×4"or so at the back where the safety switch is, is still the easiest to strip and terminate the two wires with a wire nut. As long as you stay around the smoker or have a pit probe set to a high/ low alarm like 145 and 290 to be safe. You'd have to disconnect the wire...

    Dry aging best before

    Most have a dedicated fridge with a temp probe alarm for the fridge with the intact roast on a rack on a pan with coarse salt under the roast to reduce humidity and to quickly desiccate the outside of the roast. Once dried it'll just keep drying with less and less edible meat in the center...

    Use Kroger coupons and coupons from the Kroger family of stores from nation wide weekly ad digital coupons at your local Kroger

    After clipping the coupon go to the home screen and turn on the bar code scanner in the app at the top and see if your clipped coupon shows up with a check mark and it'll work at the checkout if it does. Now it's another step to click on the coupon to get details and see if it is state/location...

    I'll still look at the fine print to see if it limits the store or state and post it if not.

    Smokin-It Forum?

    Sounds like fun work. Plus you have your identical smoker as an emergency back up in case his has an issue with the element etc. I have Auber plug and play PID on my Mes 40 with spare connectors and a spare element. I found an Mes 30 on FB marketplace that was free bc it wouldn't heat and...
