    Old Country Wrangler

    I have a wranger and absolutely love it. The only thing I did was add tuning plates, and I just swapped out the log grate with a piece of expanded metal to allow for better airflow. Besides that it's been great, holds the heat really well and the food tastes amazing. I got mine for $425 new on...

    DreamQ!!! Doin the Butts and a few ribs ;)

    They do have pecan, I was in there again last night since I wanted to browse stuff before I went to the carolina ale house right there, and they still have plenty of wood, not sure if you want chips, chunks, or mini logs... but they have a great selection. The shelves are pretty tall too, so...

    DreamQ!!! Doin the Butts and a few ribs ;)

    Interesting, I wonder how many people from Charlotte are on here. I've been buying my wood at the Academy sports around the corner from the mall, they have a better selection, and the prices are lower as well, and they have some rubs in there as too.

    Does anyone marinate ribs before smoking?

    I've thought about trying to marinade them, just never got around to it. I guess it couldn't hurt to try it though.

    DreamQ!!! Doin the Butts and a few ribs ;)

    I was in bass pro on Friday the 9th, in the early evening looking at the smokers and rubs, and everything in that aisle, so maybe you saw me... do you work at bass pro?

    I hit the Mother load!

    You smoke with pine? I've never heard of anyone doing that before.

    Old Country Wrangler and temp question (problems?)

    That's where I put my water bowl as well. But you can always get a larger aluminum pan and put it underneath the grates and pour water in it as well, that would also help catch the grease and act as a heat sink, as well as lower the temps on whatever side you put it on.

    Old Country Wrangler and temp question (problems?)

    So far they seem to be working, but I'm stil doing some fine tuning. You can always move the plates closer to the exhaust side if the temp is higher there.

    What was your very first smoker?

    I had a masterbuilt XL propane smoker, then got a MES 30, got rid of both of those and got a MES 40, and now have a Old Country Wrangler stick burner.

    Old Country Wrangler and temp question (problems?)

    I also have the same issue with the exhaust side running hotter. I would reccomend getting some tuning plates and maybet putting a water pan on the exhaust side to help regulate the temps.

    Picture perfect pulled pork on my MES (and it was my first time!!) Lots of Q-view

    Congrats! Looks awesome, I bet it was delicious. I remember when my MES was that clean inside! Just wait till you use it more and get lots of seasoning built up in it.

    Boston butt

    I usually smoke mine around 250 and pull it at around 195-200 then wrap in foil, then in a towel then place in a cooler for a couple hours.

    Water or no water?

    I never use water in my MES 40 as I use a amazen pellet smoker, and the use of water in the water pan is not recommended, and I've had great results from everything I've cooked. I don't think it makes much difference in the quality of food, but using water does help your temps recover faster.

    MES 40 $175

    For that price I'd keep it, if you don't like it you can likely sell it for at least what you paid for it.
