    Thanks everyone for the tips, pointers, and info. I plan to be smoking something this weekend. I also plan to use the MES just how it is for my first few smokes with it then i will mod, take away, and/or add whatever i feel necessary to get optimal use out of it.

    New addition to my smoking line up. (I have questions)

    The pellet tray will definitely be my first investment with this smoker. I also been doing a bit of digging and it seems my MES is a gen 2 and from what i can tell thats the worst one to have... also mine has the vent on top left instead of the side left? later model maybe?

    New addition to my smoking line up. (I have questions)

    My MES was given to me by a family member for free that just didn't want it anymore...Beggars can't be choosers i suppose. Although until i got my 22" kettle i just cut my ribs to fit my 14.5 WSM so i am no stranger to working with limited cooking space. I see a lot of recommendation for the...

    WSM decision... 18 or 22?

    I have the 14.5" WSM and every time i smoke i wish i had bought the 22". But i have a 22"Weber charcoal grill that does a pretty good job as well.
