    Lumberjack pellets in SF Bay Area, CA

    You can order it to be picked up at your local Walmart. Amazon sells it. With a little planning it can be delivered to you.

    Desperate for a MES!

    Aren't most MES vents on top right as you face it? ahhhh, I was thinking Gen 1, not Gen 2. Regarding a glass door, mine probably looks like tallbm's. Very coated. Mother Nature's natural insulation....

    Heating Element for Landmann Smoky Mountain Electric Smoker

    I replaced the old element in my big chief smoker with a element from a Proctor Silex counter top burner that is controlled by one of my Auber PIDs. Soooo awesome.

    MES Rewire Simple Guide - No Back Removal Needed!!!

    Dave-A Welcome to SMF. Is your MES a model 30 or 40? If a 30, maybe this is the perfect time to upgrade to a larger (model 40) unit. If though you like the size of a 30, then I would go the PID route and yes if it's a 40, keep it and go PID. This thread has helped so many fellow smokers. You...

    MES 40 Digital Rebuild

    Sounds like you might have a Gen1 MES40. That's what I have. Got it as a curbside freebee. Dead controller, etc. Just hooked a new power cord directly to the element. This power cord is plugged into the Auber PID. The Auber temp sensor runs down the exhaust hole. Since I don't use the...

    Fridge smoker adding a circulation fan

    If you are thinking about mounting a fan inside the smoker, think about how much smoke grime will stick to the blades of the fan. They will become very gooey in no time. Same problem with installing a fan outside on the exhaust vent.

    40” masterbuilt issue, NEED HELP PLEASE

    Depending on ones definition of "regular power cord", I will say that I only use a heavy 14 gauge cord just like the one that Masterbuilt uses. I have had zero issues during the past 7 years of running it since the mod was completed. And also since this smoker is dedicated for fish so the...

    40” masterbuilt issue, NEED HELP PLEASE

    Way back when, I removed the small cover plate that covers the connection to the element. Drilled a hole in the cover plate. Ran an extra power cord through the hole and connected the cord to the element. I now plug the other end of the cord into the Auber. Doing this bypasses all of the...

    40” masterbuilt issue, NEED HELP PLEASE

    So, does this mean that you are going to connect a power cord directly to the element or not?

    40” masterbuilt issue, NEED HELP PLEASE

    You could simply bypass all the wiring of the smoker by attaching a power cord directly to the element and then plug the power cord to the Auber.

    40” masterbuilt issue, NEED HELP PLEASE

    Yes for Auber WS-1510ELPM. My 40 was a dead curbside freebee. With the help of tallbm and others here, I rewired it for the PID and it's been running perfectly for quite awhile now.

    Cleaning plastic cutting boards

    Thanks all for the replies. Think I'll first do some bleach and see what happens. They are pretty darn cheap on Amazon.

    Cleaning plastic cutting boards

    Our plastic cutting boards are getting pretty stained and need cleaning. What do you guys suggest? I googled it and found a bunch of suggestions but before I jump into it, thought I'd get your ideas first.
