    MES 20070610

    I did another "seasoning" run yesterday to see if I could get the puffing and dumper to blow out again - I did not get it to happen !  I'm thinking that when this initially happened, the conditions inside and outside the smoker were just right to cause a backdraft and flash-over condition of the...

    MES 20070610

    Sorry Bear - meant to say Chip Dumper.  Yes both (tray and dumper) were in place when the puffing happened. On one occasion - the dumper was "blown out" about 2 inches from its fully seated positon about 20-25mins after adding chips into the tray.  Thats when I noticed that temperature had...

    Blow back happened 20 - 30 min after chips added with chip tray fully seated. Used the chips as only part of the seasoning process. Vent / damper half way closed just to retain more smoke during seasoning

    MES 20070610

    Had another thermometer (mechanicle) in the smoker that was through the top vent that was positioned about 3rd rack from the bottom. Temperature was tracking pretty close to MES. The only time Temperature spiked to 300+ was about 15 - 20min after adding chips - otherwise temp was between 270...

    MES 20070610

    After doing some research and considering what my needs are, I have decided to go with the MES 20070910 with the AMNPS addition.  Currently see the 0910 for about $169 and the AMNPS for $35.  In no immediate rush to obtain - will be on the lookout for the next several weeks to see if any deals...

    Easy way to clean window in MES 40

    I've used Chlorox spray cleaner on my wood burning fire place glass doors that smoke up and cake with creosote. Spray on liberally and wipe down with paper towels. May need to repeat once or twice. Gets the job done on my fire place windows so should work for smoker glass window as well...

    MES 20070610

    I am relatively a smoking novice - I have occasionally smoked salmon and venison in a propane smoker that's part of my grill (Brinkman I believe). Found a MES 20070610 for $99.99 at a local wholesale outlet store. Seems to be a good deal. Was wondering what others think about this model and...
