    MES 40 for Brisket?

    Although I haven’t tried it, I would say yes

    MES 40" - Gen 1 vs Gen 2.5

    After owning 3 30’s , I have come to realize that the 40 suits me better by far lol. I ended up getting the mes 140s for under $100 bucks after it was all said and done, including a 3year warranty that covers wear and tear as well as lightning strikes and power surges. While I would love to have...

    MES 40" - Gen 1 vs Gen 2.5

    I turn my smoker on and have it at temp prior to filling with meat. I suppose it’s all in how you prep and cook. I ALWAYS smoke my chicken then grill it off to get that perfect crispy skin, and the same with a turkey only indirect heat. Everyone has their own opinion and style, this hasn’t let...

    MES 40" - Gen 1 vs Gen 2.5

    Why? I have smoked everything I can think of over last 20 years at 275 or less. Just curious what your logic is?

    Brisket cook time question

    I had a similar one in an MES30 take 24 hours at 225 cut in half, too many variables to say for sure. I never go on time, but I figure at least 15 hours and expect up to 24.

    Smokin-It Model 4 and DIN300A Controller

    Thanks! I think this may get attached to the smoker semi permanently with the rocker switch also installed in the project box. I found some 15amp panel mount outlets on digi-key, but I need one for a 3mm thick panel. Beyond that I only need the aforementioned rocker switch, power cable, and wire.

    Smokin-It Model 4 and DIN300A Controller

    Well I got the box cut and fit the controller, now I need more time to actually wire it up. My dremel didn’t fully cooperate, but it is what it is.

    How can I find the best Electric smokers?

    Your budget will have a great deal to do with the many “options” available.

    Smokin-It Model 4 and DIN300A Controller

    I will find a nice 15 or 20amp then, thanks Sonny. Regarding the rocker switch you used, where did you find that? What kind of specs does it need to be?

    Smokin-It Model 4 and DIN300A Controller

    I received the correct controller (30A) and the project box. I was hoping to mount an A/C outlet on the back of the box to plug my smoker in directly. I’m unsure exactly what I need. I found several surface mount 110v outlets that are 15A, but none in 30A. Do I need it to be 30A??

    First brisket smoke

    I have had a brisket cut in half in my MES30 take 24 hours at 235 according to my maverick, no joke. Every piece of meat is different, I agree about finishing early and wrapping.

    Smokin-It Model 4 and DIN300A Controller

    Looks like that suits your needs. I’m going with a much smaller enclosure, and I want to keep the factory plug on my smoker. I guess I need to run a female receptacle out the back. I’ll post up my project when everything arrives. Thanks for the info ;)

    Bill did you mount the controller in a project enclosure?

    Smokin-It Model 4 and DIN300A Controller

    I ordered the 10 amp not knowing any better. If Thermomart can't cancel it, I will have to ship it back and order the 30 amp. Its only 5 bucks more :(

    Smokin-It Model 4 and DIN300A Controller

    Thanks Bill, I’m sure that will make sense once I receive the unit. For the record, I have the 1200w element and I ordered the 10a unit. According to Sonny’s link I believe I chose the correct one

    Smokin-It Model 4 and DIN300A Controller

    Sonny that is great! I had been searching for an alternative to the rewire mod that member TALLBM documented. I’m curious now to find if this DIN300A could be wired similarly to what you have done. I saw the wiring schematic was in the manual provided at the bottom in the link posted here by...
