Smoking Turkey in colder temp
i don't cook anything that high. i don't think a lot of people go over 275 or so for anything. my MES only goes up to 275. i see you have a different model. this model says it can get to 400 but i don't think ive seen an electric model get up that high. my MES does pretty well in cold weather... -
1st Whole Turkey in my MES 30 with AMNPS & ET732 - Trial Run for Thanksgiving - QVIEW
the first smoke i ever did on my MES was a ham (precooked) and a turkey. i put the ham over the turkey and let the hammy goodness fall onto the bird. i smoked at 225 also and it took about 6-7 hours. i was so nervous because the family was coming over and it was first time i had smoked... -
n00b turkey ?s now w/ Q-view
i put my bird in the brine straight from the freezer about 2 days before i cook and it thaw in the fridge in the brine. i used the slaughterhouse brine for the last two turkeys i did and they both turned out very well. i don't recall the recipe but you can use the search box for slaughterhouse... -
I can't keep my pellets lit
if youre smoker is in the garage then you will most likely need a fan or a chute. i struggled for months trying to get mine to stay lit. i tried everything. nuking, pulled chip loader all the way out, pulled chip try all the way out. nothing seemed to work. it really was more trouble than...- mcockrell

How does the cold affect your MES?
i would definitely invest in a probe for your smoker. the ones that come with it are notoriously inaccurate. in normal 70ish degree weather the stock temp gauge on my MES is relatively accurate (within 5-10 degrees). when the temp drops below 50 or if its very windy (or both) the temp can be off...- mcockrell

Turkey on a MES 30...
i like to mix a fruit wood and a nut wood together. last year i did apple/hickory and it turned out amazing. you can mix just about any fruit and nut and it will taste good. -

New MES 30 and a 8lb pork butt.
at my walmart they had a box with cherry, apple, mesquite, and hickory for about $15 if I recall correctly. before I got AMNPS I used this a lot. I don't really care for pure mesquite as it can be mighty pungent on long smokes. but I loved cutting it with apple and/or cherry. esp on butts. I... -
Lots of trouble this week with the AMNPS
your best bet is to email or call Todd directly and ask him. I had a ton of trouble with mine when I first got it. turns out I had my smoker sitting in a corner on the back patio up against the side of the house. ended up moving it to a more open area and put it on a small table that's about 2...- mcockrell

Smoking some St Louis Ribs and last few times not as tender - obviously i am doing something wrong.
remember on bbq pitmasters they are usually under a time constraint forcing them to go a little higher than 225. i dont know if it makes a LOT of difference but when i wrap my ribs (i have an mes 30) i just wrap the ribs very tightly in foil and put them back on the rack. no pans, no dishes, no... -

How Many Mes Owners Here?
i debated long and hard on which smoker to get. and to be quite honest the only reason i went with the MES is because it had a very loyal following on this forum so i figured if anything broke on it i would have someone to turn to for guidance. i actually got very lucky when purchasing mine. i...- mcockrell

New Years Eve Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin Smoke!!! (with Q-View)

This really is a lot of fun!
i know what you mean. i did my first smoke only about 6 weeks ago but so far ive done ribs, abts, pork shoulder, turkey, ham, and a fatty. so far everything i have put in there has turned out fantastic. i dotn know why i waited so long to get into this. -
New Years Eve Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin Smoke!!! (with Q-View)
that looks amazing! i cant wait to try out a pork loin soon. if you dont wrap it with bacon would be still be moist and tender? personally, i love bacon. the gf loves it too but she complains about having bacon on other food because it makes the other food taste like bacon. i can see her point... -
Newbie to Smoking - MES 30 is awesome, and a big thanks to everyone on these forums
that sounds delish! i think my MES was the best purchase i made all of last year. i went with the MES over any other model because of the amount of owners on this forum. so i knew if anything went wrong or if i had questions of any kind that i would have some help. so far no problems and it...- mcockrell

SMOKED RAINBOW TROUT
we go on a trout fishing "vacation" once a year. i have a few bags of rainbows left over from our last trip but they have the skin on them. should i remove the skin before attempting to smoke them? before we would skin every one but this year we decided to leave the skin on some of them.
