    Contraption for a MES

    Hi pitbull; Most all of us using the MES find it does not work at the low temp and still produce smoke I would imagine that at 7* it was using the heater inside considerably. That is probably why you had smoke production. Do not think that would be the case in warm weather

    Contraption for a MES

    Here is another way to obtain smoke in your MES at temperatures under 200* The principle is smoke production not dependent on the internal temp of the MES. With this method you can run your digital controller between 100* and 275* and Always have the same amount of smoke inside the MES. There...

    temp differences within ECB electric

    Hi Cousin; LOL My advice is to put a probe in each bird, relax, and take the birds out as dictated by the internal temps of each bird. Good Luck Marvin Edit meant to say butt not bird, sorry

    MES and Sawdust?

    You should probably PM "Smoked" if he does not pick up on this thread......My recolection is he did try to use sawdust and was not convinced by the results.....for cold smokes he is using his MES as a smoke generator and piping the top vent to another container where the temps are cooler and the...

    Masterbuilt Electric. Sausage-making - how tight is the temperature regulation?

    The tmp range will not be a problem with the MES Smoke generation at the low temp range will be You can use it at normal temps and pipe the emissions from the top vent to another container (cardboard box even) if a cold smoke is desired.

    MES and temp

    More thoughts.......is the door seal leaking?.....Have you tried closing the top vent to 50% until the heat recovers? I have seen that unit at Sam's and if it has the same wattage heater as the smaller one like mine it is going to take longer possibly.....Run mine at 225* so 240* would take...
