    MES 40 Problems

    Thanks for your reply David.  I'll check out the MES group as you suggested.  I also did add liquid to the foil when doing my 3-2-1 ribs and it still turned out dry, mostly on the side that was over the heating element.  Things just weren't cooking evenly. I use a Thermoprobe TW8060, which is...

    MES 40 Problems

    I have a 2nd Gen MES 40 that I got from Lowes a little while ago.  I've tried smoking ribs, turkey, and chicken in it a few times but have noticed some temperature issues: 1) Temperature doesn't heat to set temp..

    Dry ribs on MES40

    Did my first smoke this past weekend for Father's Day on the MES40.  I cooked 4 racks of St. Louis Ribs using the 3-2-1 method and it turned out really dry!  The meat was as tender and fall off the bone as I wanted but it was just dry as a hucklebuck.  I preheated the smoker to 275 and turned it...

    Exchanged MES30 for MES40

    I originally bought a Gen 2 MES30 from Lowes last week and got two pretty good smokes out of it. However, I decided that a larger unit might be better for the rare occasion that I cook for a large group and it's also nice to not have to cut ribs in half to get them to fit. I took it back to...

    Lowes MES30 smoker

    I purchased a MES30 smoker from Lowes last week.  I believe it's a Gen 2.  My first smoke was a whole spatchcocked chicken and second was brisket.  The temperature seemed to be run about 15 degrees higher during the chicken smoke (set at 275) and then 15 degrees lower during the brisket smoke...
