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...
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...
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
