Any other input? Maybe I will wait until they go on sale again and just get by with the dust, although I do like the idea of pellets, easier to get when I run out of dust from Todd and can get a reorder.
I believe it said something to the effect that it wouldn't have the necessary air supply on my original version to burn pellets and it would have tendency to jump the dividers.
I do have Todd's 6x8 dust smoker and have used it many times. I do use it for both cold and hot smokes. I do have a DEAD MES and a new MES. I do have a Brinkman (el cheapo). I have an old new braunsfeld (SP) with a separate firebox.
With all that being said, I do want to get one of Todd's...
Thanks a lot for the WB, JJ.
I am not sure the reasoning for the oiling first, but maybe it is like seasoning cast iron, makes clean up easier, more of a non-stick surface, and of course rust protection (which shouldn't me much of an issue with stainless).
The health issues were easy for me...
Hi all, been way to long since I have been here. My old MES bit the dust (element issue). Life (some health issues... Brain Aneurysm, prostate cancer and working) has been keeping me to busy to tear old one apart and see if I needed to do a rewire.
I started to get the Smokin bug again, so I...
Two problems, the bar oil for the chainsaw interferes with the cajun spices, secondly frozen meat is hard on the teeth... takes all kinds, lol
I have done numerous fried turkey's, matter of fact we are eating leftovers this evening as I make a batch of Dutch's Wicked Beans, mmmmm
Peace all...
Welcome to the TBS at SMF Ray... If it doesn't have the flavor of smoke, then ya might be eating the GRIT!
Glad the smoker got there, to bad about the pucks... Don't blame the delivery service, blame how the sender shipped it, probably parcel post, that can take forever, lol
So glad you found...
Thanks a lot for the info DD. After looking at the front page of that website they are definitely a viable option, and probably cheaper than replacing with the original manufacturers part.
Even though I have my offset for smoking, I do miss the convenience of the MES. Hopefully I can squeeze in...
Dude, out of curiosity for now, not that I need another controller at the moment, what digital controller for replacement are you referring to and from what source?
My MES stopped heating during the last smoke and I believe it to be the wiring issue at the element. I just haven't had the time...
I hope you grabbed it by now. It says never used, hopefully that means new, also says as is.
I have the 40" ss MES... really like it, paid $209. If the above was near here would have a second MES ;)
good luck,

As DaveNH and Rich said above.
I get plenty of smoke flavor from my MES but I am sure there is a solution to what you want with what you have. Only difference in theory is you are using pellets as opposed to chips and chunks.
I do like the MES for convenience, but I also like stick burners that...
I do like sam's chickens and took your lead Ron, but as I was afraid they wouldn't sell me a raw one already for cooking. According to the meat manager it is a liability issue... Go figure, I can buy a raw bird, but only from the meat case.
Was worth a shot, this was several weeks ago, may try...
Congrats on the fine looking ribs Meatball... I am glad you stuck with it so you to can experience the way ribs are meant to be.
Good luck in your future adventures into the TBS

Looks good Pops, haven't cooked a chicken in awhile, and now you have me thinking it is going to be a chicken weekend!
Is that suppose to be TQ?
I do like the idea of using the splenda!
Thanks for sharing,

this is one I have used for my fried turkies... Adjust to your tastes, it is a good starting point.
