GFI circuits are very sensitive and I would suspect not suggested for a smoker that has an element that turns on and off. Still, if you never had an issue before using this outlet, then either your MES is having issues or your circuit breaker is having issue. Does anything else trip the GFI...
Just received the book today and have not had time to read it yet but quickly thumbed through it. Looks great and for a paper back, it is a really good looking book!
This Sunday I will be having family over again to chow down on some ribs. Dry rub and wet mop.. I love this smoker and will make sure to post some before and after pictures for a nice Qview montage.
Saturday I decided to smoke some ribs.To be more accurate, 2 varieties of ribs which (spare ribs and country ribs) were the choice meat for that days smoke. I was nervous using such different thickness' of meat but putting the country ribs on the top rack (where it is warmer) and the spare ribs...
I will agree with the new 2012 MES 30" smoke being very smoke efficient. Smoked the ribs for 6 hours or so and used 1.5 cups of wood chips and smoke was still going strong (TBS)
finished the rib smoke a little while ago and WOW. It was great but it could have used a dash of salt but beyond that, I and my friends/family thoroughly enjoyed the ribs. Cleanup was a hateful thing.. LOL I am going to cover the drip trays in tinfoil next time. Window was easily cleaned with a...
I have always used Mesquite and Hickory when I would smoke (or try to) using my Weber grill and this is the first time not only using a real smoker (2012 MES 30") but I am also using apple wood. OMG is all I can say about the smell of this smoking wood. It is truly WONDERFUL and I can just...
I agree but too many people who are going to eat this don't eat salt. I am hoping the lemon powder in Mrs Dash mix will help a tad and if it turns out flat, then whoever wants to can dip the rips into some BBQ sauce I have.
I will be trying out my new 2012 MES 30" tomorrow so I bought some spare ribs and country ribs for the inaugural MES smoke. I made my own rub since I am tired of store bought rubs being nothing but 80 percent salt. I am not sure it will taste good but this is what I did. (tasted good dry)

Thanks Troma!
I came up with an idea of using baking soda and water and use a scotch pad. Either way there are no chemicals used which is the way I want to go.
Now that the seasoning is done, my poor smoker is not shiny anymore (inside) and the glass has this patina of smoke that was a little hard to get off but I did. I did to clean the rest of the unit inside as I feel there was no need to wipe it down since nothing was cooked in it.
I want to give...
after 3 hours of seasoning all is well. Temps held real tight and the element would kick on at 272 and turn off at 276. At 45 minutes left I added a cup of mesquite chips to really season the smoker. No leaks of smoke what so ever except at the wood chip chute and the air vent. The seems and...
I am seasoning my new smoker and I have some good news
The oven temp via digital control panel says 279
The meat probe says 276
My pretty accurate regular oven thermometer says 280
I think I am good to go with a very minimal temp variation
Also took exactly 30 minutes to heat to 275 when...
