    MES mailbox mod and first smoke

    Took delivery of Gen 1 MES 40 last week and couldn't wait to try it out. First had to build a stand to get it off the ground a bit and to have a place for the mailbox mod. Quick run to HD and a few hours later (work done mostly by very talented father in law) resulted in the following.

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Which MES to buy?

    Addertooth, I have given some though to trying to salvage my BGE use. Keeping the egg at a specific temperature is actually pretty easy. The harder part for me has been smoke management. Getting the right amount, for the right duration, and right type of smoke has been the real challenge...

    Which MES to buy?

    About 15 pages deep on the MES owners thread. Seems like Gen 1 has a bunch of loyal supporters. Have the AMNPS too. Thanks Catch.

    Which MES to buy?

    Hey gang. Been doing some research on MES electric smokers based on their popularity on this forum. Currently I have a BGE that I use infrequently. It's a great unit but the time required for set up and tending limit my use of it. Looking for something a little, well, less clingy. The idea of...
