    First smoke tomorrow.

    Well, tech be the 2nd time, first was long long ago.  Be putting on a Boston Butt round 8am and using my own rub and applewood in a MES 30". Sorry for the crappy pics for this smoke (my Canon DSLR is off to Canon for repairs).  I'll have more later from my wonderful camera phone as soon as I...

    Electric powered on the patio are fine,  Been using my Weber Q1400 out there.  \The fire code says something like the main fuel can not be wood or gas.  The MES would be fine.  I'd think even if using wood in it.  I think returning the MES would be kinda costly due to weight and I assume I'd...

    Law here is, your not even supposed to have a grill (gas/wood/etc) in the apt, even if you are just storing it.  Funny thing is, the law also states that you can fire up a grill 5ft away from the building. I'd much rather use the MES since at least the 250f heat source would be on my patio and...

    So, my MES will be showing up tomorrow.  But I have a small problem.  With talking to the guys in the fire marshal office, they went on the side of saying that I should not use my MES on my apartment patio (fire code issues).  They said that even though it's an electric smoker that the wood...

    Howdy,

    Yeah, but not in an apt complex.  They were not 100% sure on their answer.  But a couple of the guys in the fire marshal office had electric smokers and they commented that the wood could flare up.  So it would be a crap shoot.  If someone called the fire dept, I'd get a fine.  I wonder if it...

    Howdy,

    Noooooo.  Fire Dept told me that I can not use the MES on my patio.

    Howdy,

    Thanks.  It's a nice 55f here I think.  Good day for a Hill Country wildflower drive.  Perfect to end up at Inks Lake and fire up my Weber BabyQ.

    Howdy,

    Yes, AMNPS.  But if you are igniting it, then I might not be able to use it.  I'm not allowed to have any type of "open flame" on the patio.  Even though this is all enclosed, would still be a $500 fine.  though thinking about it now, I might not be able to use it at all on my patio since I'm...

    Howdy,

    From the looks or the pic, it's a gen 1 (control on top back) 30".  Now I got a stupid question.  Do these electric smokers ignite the wood chips (or in this case pellets since I ordered the above mentioned product)?  I'm wondering if it just smolders or does it do a full on flame.

    Howdy,

    Thanks. That's interesting.  Do I just put that where the wood chip tray is in the smoker?

    Howdy,

    Living in an apartment for many years has had me down for so long.  Since electric grills are fine, I asked about smokers and was told fine (wonder if I will make my neighbors angry or hungry with the smoke smell).  My Masterbuilt will be here Tuesday and I've been debating what to smoke for...
