    Patience...patience

    10 hours and still those butts are only at 165 degrees... Tell me, when the stall is over, does the temp rise rapidly?

    Ok, I couldn't wait for my a-maze-n smoker to arrive (sorry Todd), so I fired up my brand new MES40 this morning and I am four hours into some nice looking butts. Here's a question... I've added chips three times so far and see that wonderful TBS coming out.... is there a point where I need to...

    Maiden Voyage

    My brand new MES 40 is on its maiden voyage! I've got two pork butts, seasoned with TexJoy, a wonderful rub that comes out of, need I say it? Anyway, the smoker is working beautifully. The TBS is gently wafting from the vent and I am anxiously (but patiently) awaiting mouth watering PP. Just to...

    Fat Cap - leave it on or remove it?

    The question of the day....  What is the best thing to do with the fat cap on a Boston Butt? 1. Cut that sucker off. 2. Leave it on, smoking fat cap down. 3. Leave on, smoking fat cap on top. 4. Some other answer I haven't thought of... I appreciate your answers and your rationale. SMOKE...

    MES 30" vs 40"

    I just got off the phone with Masterbuilt, (1-800-489-1581), ordering a cover and an extra heating element. On the recommendation of a friend, I ordered the heating element, which costs about $22, so that five years down the line, when this one goes out I won't have to call to order a new one...

    Glad I found this site!

    Hi, this is David. I have been a fan of smoked meat for a long time. Several years ago, I purchased a small Meca water smoker, but found it was difficult to use for a variety of reasons....mostly it sat and rusted. Then I tried to smoke with my Webber gas grill with limited success. I decided...

    MES 30" vs 40"

    Alright! Picked up my MES 40 at Sam's Club yesterday. I called and they had two left, which is why it didn't show online. (Evidently, when the stock is low, they zero it out on line.) It is cleaned and currently on its seasoning cycle. Tomorrow I smoke my first BB! Looking forward to many years...

    MES 30" vs 40"

    Ah, ya see? This proves what I've been telling my kids for years... If you're not careful, you can learn something new every day! The quest for TBS moves forward..... Thanks Bear. (Hope you got your yards mowed!)

    MES 30" vs 40"

    I didn't know there was such a thing as "too thick a smoke"...

    MES 30" vs 40"

    I want to thank you all for your advice and input. On a sad note, it looks like Sam's Club is out of the MES 40. The best deal I can find now is $399. Amazon carries the 30 for less than half that. Can anyone pontificate on the differences between the MES 40 and the Smokin' Tex 1100?

    MES 30" vs 40"

    Hi All, I am getting ready to purchase my first electric smoker and right now I'm leaning toward the MES..... Any comments on whether or not I should go with the 30" verses the 40" would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
