    Vacuum Tumblers

    FloridaSteve, I bought one of these from Todd a when he first started selling them. I usually give it more time than they say just to make sure but it does pull the liquid brine's in faster than just leaving in the fridge.  Most of the time I will mix up the brine, add the meat then run full...

    Major MES fail

    My MES was tripping a GFI outlet since new but I never got around to calling Masterbuilt because I had other outlets to use.  Finally took all the covers off the back and bottom off to see if I could find anything that did not look right, which I did not.  While I had it apart I could tell the...

    Thinking about the mailbox mod on my MES, but have a lot of questions

    This is what I use on my 2nd generation MES 40, the side piece fits over the vent on the side and if there is any condensate dripping (which there will be) it runs straight down the bottom.  I wired a plastic cup on the bottom to catch any moisture. Gary

    Baby Back Ribs Using The 2-2-1 Method (Q-View)

    I was getting the same result with the 2-2-1 method, fall off the bone.  I have changed to 3-1-1 and have much better results, tender but a good tug and bite. Gary

    4-1-1 ribs

    I started doing 3-1-1 with baby backs, had the same problem with fall off the bone or too mushy for me.  Used this method the the last two times and they had a great bite to them.  Picked up some spare ribs today and will try your timing on them as well, make sure you let us know how they came...

    Just smoked 1st Canadian Bacon. Some questions?

    On some of the pictures it looks like a hole by chance is that where your meat probe was put in. Gary

    Curing Pork Butts for Pulled Ham

    Woodcutter, I totally suck at tying meat back up like you did, is it necessary to get the bone out?

    Me with a MES 30 Gen 1 ???? First observations

    Wolf, what is the brand and model you have.  I am looking for one that will ramp but this might get me by until I decide. Gary

    Me with a MES 30 Gen 1 ???? First observations

    Unfortunately that will not work, there are a bunch of threads on this site with wiring diagrams might want to do a search and see if anyone has used that type before.  I hate to spend the money but I would like to get one that I can use to ramp the temp up slowly, I do a lot of jerky and...

    Me with a MES 30 Gen 1 ???? First observations

    I guess I never use it at the low of level so never really cared about the difference in temp, once I got it set where I needed it with the 732 just let it run.  Not sure how much you want to spend on it but there a alot of users on here that went with a PID controller which will keep within 1-2...

    Me with a MES 30 Gen 1 ???? First observations

    Craig I have the MES 30 gen 1 and the MES 40 gen 2.  It is a rare occasion when the 732 and either MES reads the same but the longer the units are on I do find the temps get closer to each other.  I live where it gets much colder and in the winter months never go less than a 60 minute start...

    Me with a MES 30 Gen 1 ???? First observations

    From what I am reading you waited until the heat light went off when you first started the MES. On the initial start-up the unit will overshoot quit a bit which is what you are seeing.  When I use my MES I try to warm it up for no less and 30 minutes, 60 is better.  Very few smokers will match...
