Hey there Fellow Smoking Nerds:) I just wanted to share with you folks a recent rebuild of a 250gallon offset smoker. We purchased the offset smoker for family reunion cooking a few years back and soon figured out the firebox and smoke stack needed to be replaced. So this spring I got with...- texascoast

MES tripping GFCI recepticle
I had the same tripping GFI issue with my MES30, but it would work on a non GFI outlet! I tried a Smoking forum suggestion about cleaning the ground wire connection where it connects to Heating Element in the back of unit. There was a small amount of creosote build up on the small nut &...- texascoast

MES 30" not working after replacing element - help!
Ok, mine looks a little different! As you can see mine has a small metal box where the Ground wire and the two wires for the Heating Element come together. You will see the ground wire nut in the center of box (a piece of white paper behind it) it exits the small metal box with one of the...- texascoast

No, the wire connection is not an issue with the TCS device, remember it acts like a temperature fuse, if the internal Temp of the smoker unit gets over about 301deg Fahrenheit the TCS will open up and the unit will stop working! Just make sure your TCS wire connections are very clean and...- texascoast

Husker3in4, I have never used any of the other J-B Weld products! Whatever you use it will need to be one that works with "High Temperature areas". I would imagine the ones for plastic would not work.... You might try an Auto parts store, the version I use can be used on engine...- texascoast

MES 30" not working after replacing element - help!
Husker3in4, I used J-B Weld, 8265S, it comes with two tubes, one is black the other is white, you will need to mix equal parts from each tube. Then apply the mix onto the two surfaces, set the position of the TCS and the Flange and let them dry for 24hours. Remember you are just...- texascoast

Husker3in4, I know exactly what you are talking about with the Temperature Control Switch (TCS) not staying inside of the smoker housing unit, I had the same issue. I used some "J-B Weld" to "Cold Weld" the Temp Unit Part and its Flange part in the position I needed. Then I just...- texascoast

Husker3in4, No, you do not need to solder the Thermostat, but make sure you check the wire connectors are still good. My connectors looked rusted so I replaced them, that is when I decided to upgrade the wiring and wiring connectors. The Solder just makes a better electrical connection...- texascoast

MES 30" not working after replacing element - help!
Hey Husker3in4, I had the same problem when I replaced my heating element, the unit would not work! I started trouble shooting by taking off the back of the unit and checking the wiring and all connections. That is when I discovered the second problem. On the back of the unit there is a...- texascoast

Understand about KSD301 Device not affecting the internal temp. I was just stating that my MES went out completely when the KSD301 failed. I do a very simply clean around and on the Temp Probe you are talking about maybe once every three smokes or so... I upgraded the MES wiring to high...- texascoast
