    noob trying to grasp all this!

    Ok, we're going a little crazy here.  My wife's loving this as much as I am.  We've now put in a spatchcocked chicken (first time for both of us), one salmon filet, pork loin, and beef loin! Any advice on temperatures and times?  I'm monitoring the chicken and salmon, since I figure they'll...

    Excellent, thanks! Quick update, I picked up another unit, and the shelves are level, so I'm happy!  I just finished assembling it, and now seasoning it per instructions - heat at 275 for 3 hours, adding wood in the last 45 minutes. That AMNPS looks really cool, I may forget Christmas and pick...

    Thanks!  Sounds perfect. I'm on task for the turkey this year, so I'm a little nervous.  I've never been the cook before, but they've loved my pork shoulders and briskets.  Well, now I'm trying fowl and will be using my new MES, if I can.  I'm going to read up on it more, because so far, the...

    I have an update.  During lunch, my wife and I went and looked at the 20070311, and I sold her on it!  She was very impressed with it.  I had just enough time to start the assembly but haven't finished it yet.  I agree with Bentley that the top controller could be redesigned. But I have a...

    Hi, this year was my first venture in to smoking.  My son and one of his best friends earned their Eagle Scout ranks, and a friend suggested I smoke a brisket for the celebration.  I knew nothing about it, and bought a $50 charcoal unit from walmart, read up on directions, and had a tremendous...
