    Rewiring MES40 help?

    Open up the panel on the bottom of the smoker, and follow tallbm's thread at the top of this section of the forum. Basically, you are bypassing all the factory control stuff, and connecting the existing power cord to the element and thermal overload switch. There is a wire from the overload...

    Grinding own 16 Mesh

    An adjustable burr coffee grinder will output consistent size. I use this hand cranked one and it puts out plenty of pepper in a hurry. No need for electric unless you are running a commercial kitchen. https://www.amazon.com/PARACITY-Grinder-Stainless-Aeropress-Espresso/dp/B08KDRM2MX/

    Masterbuilt Electric Smoker Needs Better Chip Burner.

    If you insist on using chips, you could purchase the Masterbuilt cold smoker attachment. I use one if I am not using pellets in a smoke tube in a mailbox type mod.

    How Do You Afford This Addiction?

    Probably not this spectacular. I traveled to SD annually to watch the Big Bay Boom, but this year the show was a bit short. ;) https://fox5sandiego.com/news/big-bay-boom/big-bay-bust-2012s-spectacular-fireworks-fail/

    How Do You Afford This Addiction?

    I have a small fortune. I started with a large one. (Old joke.)

    Bang for your buck steaks.....

    Due to the power of the internet, everyone has found out how to make the "cheap cuts" delicious, therefore they are no longer cheap.

    LEM Set Screw for 5lb Stuffer

    You are paying for someone to order a box of setscrews, package them up individually, store them in a warehouse, log them into an inventory management system, periodically take inventory, answer the phone, figure out what you need, go to the warehouse, find the package with the M6x6 setscrew...

    Looking for a new Sous vide cooker

    You might contact the Consumer Products Safety Commission (cpsc.gov,) if Trump hasn't axed it yet, and relate your experience. It would appear to be a significant safety concern.

    Travel griddle recommendations

    Similar issue. I have coined a saying. Two is one, and one is at the wrong house. Applies equally to mechanic tools as well.

    So admin folk, I ask respectfully

    I wouldn't be sure if I should click on the recent thread titled "Smoked pot roast." Good of you to ask politely, but there are better venues for those discussions.

    MES Randomly Shuts Off

    Another thought, check the connections on the upper and lower boards. They may be corroded and/or loose.

    MES Randomly Shuts Off

    Tallbm has you covered. While I also would recommend converting your smoker to PID operation, there is one thing you could try for free if you have a soldering iron, or know someone that does. You could remove the lower circuit board and resolder all the connections on it. There may be a...

    Pepper grinder.

    Any electric burr coffee grinder would work perfectly. If you are really cheap like me, you pick up a used one from a thrift store for under ten bucks.

    MES Cold Smoker attachment. Experience?

    You can use a Harbor Freight or Amazon sourced router speed controller to cut down the smoke generation. I usually use mine at half to three-quarter power.

    PID Troubles

    You have set your PID to be a simple thermostat, which is working well for you. If you are satisfied, no need to go further. I have found that some PID controllers I have bought (cheaply off Aliexpress) do not correctly implement a PID algorithm. You mention you built your controller, and...
