    Just ordered the Smok It Model 3D

    I can't wait to see some pix and read your thoughts on it.  I am wanting the same one.

    External Temp of an MES 30

    I set my plastic Iced tea glass on my smoker just about every time I cook.  It's warm but not hot.

    Driedsticks Pretzels with a kick!

    I made these last week.  Told my wife to pick up a bag of pretzels and went to work.  We do like things a little spicy and I added a "bit" more cayenne pepper.  Smoked'em for about two hours and let them cool down.  They were a little hotter than I thought they would be and then I looked at the...

    MES 30" experiment with chips

    I have been using my MES for over two years and had the AMNPS by the first week I bought my MES.  I have taken out the chip tray and pull out the chip loader a bit when I am smoking to keep the air going.  I am not one who can "never" keep the AMNPS tray burning and I am not one who "always" has...

    MES 30" Energy Measurements Using "Kill-A-Watt" Power Meter

    That is VERY useful information.  And I drink beer also. Thanks for posting this.  I did St Louis ribs today so my smoker was on for the 6ish hour cook but I also let it burn off for two to three hours on max temp after every cook.  That means it costs me about a nickel to burn off my smoker.

    Pressure is on; semi new to smoking, hosting Thanksgiving for the new GF's family, and my mom got me

    Sounds like you have this all under control.  Good write-up also.  Bet your first Thanksgiving host will not be your last.  Might as well plan on cooking for Christmas. Sweet taters are one of my faves on the smoker.

    Pressure is on; semi new to smoking, hosting Thanksgiving for the new GF's family, and my mom got me

    I just pulled off a 22 pound bird from my MES 30" smoker.  I had to cut the bird in half and it smoker in just over five hours at 250*.  It's resting now and I will cut it up and then reheat for tomorrow.

    1st time 20lb turkey smoker

    I have a 22lb bird in my MES 30" right now.  I had to cut it in half so I could fit it on the racks.  I am at 162* and 167* at just over 5 hours and the smoker is set to 235*.  That makes my smoker about 250* I am also smoking another bird after I pull these out but it is just a 12 pounder.  I...

    I don't understand these temperature variances

    Goldmine, the folks have given the best advice.  I have learned that for "MY" MES, if I am doing a long smoke, I set the temp to 209* and I average out to 225* over time.  For short smokes, I am not going to get worked up over ten - twenty degrees.  But I have learned to set it to 212* and it...

    New to the forum from South Texas

    Ft Hancock, thats off the beaten path.  Sure is pretty there.  It's been about two years since I have been that way.  Really need to get back and watch the sunset.

    Castroville...yeah, been through there many times.  Motorcycle rider and all.   No to the dove thing. Done many japs with cream cheese and bacon.  My wife has a hard time eating something that does not come with a label on it.  No hunting or fishing for me.  The Chupacabre rub is great but out...

    Hello From Texas!

    You are going to love it here.  I am also another "it ain't real BBQ from some electric gizmo thing".  Love the MES type cooking and no longer having to poke around inside the fire box.
