    New MES owner, preparing for the 1st smoke

    It's smoke day, but having some weird issues.  I set the MES temp at 225, but when I hooked up my Maverick, it only shows a smoker temp of around 175.  I ran out and bought a cheapie oven thermometer...it agrees with the Maverick.   I've pumped up the MES to 270...Maverick still only shows...

    New MES owner, preparing for the 1st smoke

    My "day before" is about gone.  I started with a trip to the grocery store and Costco.  Costco only sells butts in 2-packs, so 13 lbs of meat later, I got out of there.  At the grocery store, picked up a 5 lb chicken (since my 5 yr old assistant informed me that's what she wanted), and all the...

    New MES owner, preparing for the 1st smoke

    Thanks for the advice, guys...exactly what I was looking for. Also, I noticed some posts talking about either (A) lining the water pan and/or drip pan with foil or (B) putting the butt itself in an aluminum pan or tray.  Is either of those a good idea, and if so, which one?  Sounds like B would...

    New MES owner, preparing for the 1st smoke

    I joined the ranks this past weekend, but won't get to give my new 30" MES a test run until next weekend.  I've been reading the forums here and trying to gather as much information as possible to make it a success.  I've already ordered a Maverick E-73 thermometer, so should be able to get...
