    Opening a new BBQ restaurant first time smoker!

    I would assume you are using an electric smoker? It is like the old saying. "How do you get to Broadway"? Practice practice practice.

    Outside temps for using MES30

    I have 2 pork butts on right now and it is 24 and it is holding temp great. The coldest I have used mine is in the teens with no problems.

    So.. the Bradley seems to be a no go... Where to go from here?

    There are so many good smokers out there it all comes down to what you feel comfortable with. No matter what one you decide on I'm sure you will be turning out some great food and isn't that the main thing we are all trying to do?

    MES30 SS - flash-over explosion in chip tray?

    Mine "farted" on me yesterday also. After a change of boxers, it seemed to work fine.

    Urgent Beer Can Help

    Give a few a try. A lot of the organic breweries up here in the North West are using more cans. Smaller carbon foot print and such. The flavor from an IPA on chicken is wonderful!

    Urgent Beer Can Help

    Never let being a fan of one beer stop you from trying beer in a can, Caldera Brewing makes a great IPA, as long as you are not afraid of the hops.

    MES 30" Black

    Just the temp gauge on the smoker. I checked it with an oven gauge a few weeks ago and it was with in a couple of degrees. I won't worry about it then, just seemed odd.

    MES 30" Black

    It is the first time I have seen the swing that big. Before today it had been 4 or 5 either way.

    MES 30" Black

      I have been having trouble with my MES 30" Black smoker, There have been some pretty big temp swings going on, I have it set at 225 but the temp has been going up to 240 then dropping to 205 or so and repeating all day. The smoker is only a couple months old.

    Masterbuilt vs. Brinkmann?

    I have a 30" mes and could not be happier. Works great on these cold Idaho days.

    Do these really work?

    I also live in Boise. The only place I have seen the MES 40 is at Cabelas. I picked up a MES 30 without window for 173 at Lowes. They do work very well and can make some great flavor even when it is in the 20's.
