    Need some gloves

    I need to buy some gloves for pulling meat off racks, grabbing the racks, covering hands when you put the mustard and rub on meat, etc, etc. Can somebody recommend some good gloves that can be used for these things?

    Do you have a MES?

    Questions for all MES owners

    As some of you may have read in another thread, I'm having a lot of trouble getting the heat up on my MES. I'm only getting about 225 when I set it at 275. That's with damper closed to hold in the heat. For all MES owners, are you having any trouble getting up to 275? How much meat are you...

    How to finish my ribs in the oven?

    I have the thermometer that came with the MES and a M-73 digital that I bought. I tested the latter in boiling water before smoking. Both probes read 214. The temp on the MES is about 8-10 degrees different from my digital. Neither thermometer is getting nearly as hot as it should be.

    Masterbuilt temperature question

    I imagine our controllers are the same. I'll have to check those lights and let you know, but I think they're working like you said they should. I'm kind of aggravated with Masterbuilt right now.

    Masterbuilt temperature question

    That's what she said my problem is. I don't think that's my problem either.

    Masterbuilt temperature question

    Where is the red LED light located that you mentioned? I just want to be sure I answer your question correctly. The wood tray is definitely inserted all the way unless we add chips which isn't often at all. I haven't tested the voltage on that outlet. I guess I need to do that.

    Masterbuilt temperature question

    I just talked to the same lady at Masterbuilt. She said she thinks my problem is being caused by having too much water in the pan. My pan was probably 1/2 to 3/4 full, but it's not a big pan. She said I should get temps up to 260 simply be using only 1/4 of water in the pan with meat on every...

    Masterbuilt temperature question

    It sounded like she was just trying to avoid having to send a new part or replace the one I have.

    Rodney, thanks for posting that cole slaw recipe.

    Masterbuilt temperature question

    We did preheat the MES and the meat was room temp. How much meat do you have on your MES when it's at 275? Also, how much water do you have in the pan when you smoke? The lady at Masterbuilt said that makes a big difference.

    How to finish my ribs in the oven?

    I just called Masterbuilt. The lady there asked me several questions like: how much water was in the pan? How much food I was cooking. Was I using an extension cord? She said that if the pan is full of water, that will cause it not to reach full temp. Same thing if I have a lot of food in it...

    How to finish my ribs in the oven?

    I ended up being able to finish the ribs in the smoker, but my temp only got as high as 225 or so and that was with the damper closed. The ribs turned out pretty good although not as good as the ones we cooked Wednesday. (I have pics of those here with chickens). We used Jeff's rub and sauce and...

    How to finish my ribs in the oven?

    Sorry. I panicked thinking I was going to mess up almost 5 racks of ribs.

    Masterbuilt temperature question

    Do everything you just said in the oven? Or did you mean part on the smoker and part in the oven?

    How to finish my ribs in the oven?

    My MES isn't heating as high as it should. Using the 3-2-1 method for baby backs, I've had some on my MES for about 3 hours at about 210. Then I foiled them. They've been foiled for about 30 minutes, still at about 210 degrees. How can I finish these in the oven? I don't think my MES is working...

    Masterbuilt temperature question

    I'm going to call Masterbuilt tomorrow and see what they say. I'm smoking these using the 3-2-1 method. They've been on the smoker for three hours, then we wrapped them in foil. They're currently in foil. If I need to put them in the oven, what do I need to do? Set the oven temp at 240* or so...

    Masterbuilt temperature question

    It's not really in much wind at all and the temp is 50 degrees. It's not cold outside. This is only the second time I've used it. It was a Christmas gift. Should I ask for a part replacement or another smoker? Will these ribs eventually cook at such a low smoker temp?

    Masterbuilt temperature question

    This is my second time to use my MES. Yesterday I put two small chickens and a rack of baby backs on it. Set the smoker temp at 275 (max for MES). The temp only got to 250-260 the entire time. Today I have 4 1/2 racks of baby backs. The smoker temp is set to about 260-270. The smoker temp is...
