Need help with MES
I run a Masterbuilt cold smoker. If there is any moisture in the chips it will drool yucky black water out the bottom. I now have a small stainless sheet pan I set under it. Also, you need to scrape out the tower every couple of smokes or the chips will not feed down to the heating element.- dsk

First injection smoke, low finish temperature
This is the first time I haven't taken a smoke to a particular temperature, rather I was following the advice I read here that it isn't time or temperature, but when the meat is probe tender. The shoulder was fall off the bone tender, and as an experiment I took some of the pulled meat and... -

First injection smoke, low finish temperature
Result, taste great, but dryer than I would have expected given the advertised effect of the phosphates that are in the Kosmos. Not sure I would bother with injection again on a pork shoulder. -

First injection smoke, low finish temperature
I did my first injection on an 8 lb pork shoulder yesterday and it didn't quite go as I expected. I injected with a cup and a half (10% weight) of apple juice, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire, and Kosmos original pork. A bit messy as it was my first time, but most of it stayed in. Into... -

MES 30 smoker not smoking... Not looking to do mailbox mod.
Yes, the Masterbuilt one. Of course, you can shut off the cold smoke generator and remove the chip tower from it at any time to cut off smoke generation. I've not done any sausage. I did a cold smoke of salmon lox, and used a 3" aluminum vent tube from the cold smoker to the MES to cool the...- dsk

Smoking with PID
I just looked at your Auber WS-1510ELPM PID manual and the cycle time is programmable. Try a test smoke at 120 seconds and see if smoke generation improves.- dsk

Smoking with PID
With a PID controller cycling the element faster, potentially as fast as a few seconds, after stable temperature is reached, the element itself doesn't get as cold, and more importantly its peak temperature does not get as hot, as with a thermostat type control with it's much longer cycle time...- dsk

MES 30 smoker not smoking... Not looking to do mailbox mod.
I read somewhere online (I can't find it now) about someone that modified their chip tray to have a couple of these... https://www.amazon.com/Dimart-Heating-Element-Single-Cartridge/dp/B00PFB0GXK/ ... wired down in the bottom of the chip tray in order to be near or directly in contact with the...- dsk

Torch searing question
Absolutely, positively, DO NOT TORCH IN PYREX. Pyrex includes the warning not to move from freezer to oven, as it cannot safely handle the temperature shift. What kind of shift in temperature is your torch flame imposing? Yeah, lots more. A metal pan or sheet, optionally with a wire grate...- dsk

Bradley Bisquette heater temp.....
It is not a controlled temperature. It is simply a 125W resistive heater, IIRC (I measured mine once.) The plate temperature will vary depending on if there is a puck on it or not, if the puck is smoldering, generating additional heat, and what the chamber temperature is. I imagine Bradley...- dsk

Bradley Original 4 rack smoker wiring diagram
Hi Herb, Hope you are still around. I just joined, but I have some of the information you need. The round button in the back of the smoker is the temperature sensor. In order to get to the thermal cutout, you need to remove the back. You will find the cutout is a small tube that is held...- dsk

Greetings from Central AZ
HI, I'm Dave. I've had a Bradley 6 rack digital that I have highly modified for about 4 years now. A couple of years ago a friend and neighbor moved away, and left me his MES 30 gen 1. Both smokers are running homebrew pids, and I have recently added the MB cold smoker so I have the...
