    Anyone tried adding charcoal to an MES?

    may be a difference between pork and beef, just pulled the slab of pork ribs off, nice smoke ring a good 1/4 inch plus, cooked w/ same as the flat briskets that had none, or maybe the extra fat in the meat helps?

    Anyone tried adding charcoal to an MES?

    tried 4 kingsford briquettes mixed w/hickory chunks sat, and 4 cheap best choice briquettes mixed today, easter, on some flats, no smoke ring here either. so i guess its not the quality or cheapness of the charcoal.

    masterbuilt electric users

    been doing a lot of reading about the 30 inch unit, but dont recall seeing a mention about the water pan ever needing a refill during an 8-10 hour smoke, just curious if it does, cooking at about 225 degrees. dont like a pan to go dry and have fat drip in it and burn, ruining a good smoke...

    rotisserie gave out

    well, i took it apart, gears are trashed, deejay debi, if i added a hand crank, i would have a very soft temper and promoted a lot of health after several hours of cranking. you got the sticker shock right. guess i will do with out, unless i find one at a garage sale cheap.
