New Maverick
Well, been dialing smoker thermostat in with Mav...it's cycling between 147 and 163. Is that a "normal" temp swing? Water bowl is filled with sand, MES has no insulation on bottom, seems like there should be some?- azbullfrog

New Maverick
Got the Mav from Todd, great service! Very quick turnaround. Trying it out smoking jerky in my MES. I am having problems with smoker probe high temp setting. Default is 176, I need 155. I can increase setting, but can't decrease down to 155. What am I missing? Read the instructs 6 times!- azbullfrog

MES Question...
Ling, there is no inlet....working on a mailbox mod amzs generator with 3" output. Chef, I think that is spot on, should help with eliminating the right corner hot spot, too. Mail box mod: thinking of removing grease trap from underside, and replacing with flat mailbox fitted with amzn 5X8"...- azbullfrog

MES Question...
Getting to know my new smoker, and reading the info on here has really helped! My MES doesn't have the "butterfly" vent on the top, just a 1/4 inch hole in back right corner. Wondering if I should modify by adding some sort of exhaust outlet in top or back? Thx for any thoughts...- azbullfrog

Beef jerky Saturday
I gave my neighbor a couple of spare rods and reels for him and his son. He just happens to be a butcher at Safeways. So he stopped by with 6# of top round roast, sliced! Sliced too thin IMHO, almost see-thru. So I got the marinade ready and got ready to smoke. Doing half of meat today...- azbullfrog

Newbie, 1st smoked chicken...w/Q-view
I found the brine recipe on the forum here. Consumption report: Taste : **** Texture: **** Flavor: **** Next time I think I'll preheat to 400 to compensate for big drop, and slow recovery time. Dropped to 200, took til 4:45 to get back to 250... Good first smoke!- azbullfrog

Newbie, 1st smoked chicken...w/Q-view
I thought I would post my 1st attempt at smoking a bird. Any refinements in technique for the next go around are encouraged! Just bought a MES 30, unmodified so far. Spatchcocked 5# bird in brine until tomorrow, then in the smoker at around 2:00. Hopefully have a delicious dinner around...- azbullfrog
