    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Q view.  Turned out great :) Pecan/Hickory for the Brisket smoke.  Brisket took 10 hours to get to 195, at 225..  Pulled and foiled for 2 hours.  Sausage was on for 4 hours at 225, using applewood.

    Brisket at 171.  Tossed on some italian sausages, plan to run those for 4 hours and then hopefully pull both.  Apple for the sausages.

    only after I take it off.  I don't foil during the cook.  I'll probably pull at 195 and foil tight for a few hours.

    Thanks for the response!  I just ended up getting up at 6.  No biggie.  Currently smoking a 6lb brisket.  225 degrees.  Currently at 160 degrees after 4 hours, but I know it'll stall for a couple hours.

    Thanks Bear! Question - there is no way to turn on the smoker automatically, say with the app, is there?  For instance I'd like to pre-heat it from 6-7AM but not get up at 6AM if I can help it.....

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    yeah ideally it would've been wired for that - but they wired our condo to include the outside ones in the 15A circuit for the living room instead of their own.  I assume because they weren't figuring on heavy duty equipment on my tiny condo balcony.   Oh well.  When I move I'm sure the house we...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    So it worked OK with everything on but my plasma.  It's an older Pioneer which pulls 300-400w.  Once the screen was on, it would break after about 3 minutes. I'm hoping the wiring is 12ga so I can just put a 20A switch on it.  Otherwise I'm either rewiring or just not watching TV while...

    welp.... it's blowing my circuit breaker.  I have my smoker setup on my balcony which uses the same circuit as all my electronics and plasma, along with some lights and plugs for our laptops.  Apparently 15A was not enough...  1200 watts is a lot Not sure what to do.  I hope I have 12 gauge...

    PRIME RIB (New Best Ever!!!)

    Looks beautiful.  Almost looks too red, but 130 is fine.  I've sous vide a roast to 131 so I know it's great that temp :)

    Smoked Prime Rib (47th Anniversary Dinner)

    Question - is having it in a pan with the bottom blocked from the direct movement of the smoke a bad thing for smoke 'reception?'

    New MES 30 inch

    Agreed, that seems a little chunky to me.  I wouldn't pull it off until at least 195 if not higher.  Then foil it and let it rise a bit.  if it doesn't fall part with the bone sliding out like butter, it's not done.

    MES tripping GFCI

    yeah it'll work on a non-GFCI.  But it has a ground fault somewhere, which is dangerous.
