    Maverick ET-735 Issues

    Thanks for the help Todd. I unfortunately work in a tall office building far away from the dreamy environment of my grill, smoker, palm trees and pool.  I will try to see when I can get time to call with the unit in front of me and my wife not asking for something to be reached or moved. I am...

    Maverick ET-735 Issues

    Well,, i tried it again today.  I even rebooted my phone to make it was not the issue. Basically, two main issues. 1.  Poor connectivity. Literally I have to be right in front of the MES smoker to get a signal. 2.  It often does not see the probes that are plugged in. Temperature wise, I...

    Maverick ET-735 Issues

    My Samsung S5 is only 9 months.  I currently use with three other Bluetooth enabled items (my two different cars and my ear piece), and I have no issues with them.   My issue was only partly the distance.  Even when standing right in front of the unit and my MES it was ill functioning.

    First attempt at smoked poppers

    Timberjet, You are right!  I had the water pan in for the other meats.  That explains it. I will have to try the rolling pin.

    First attempt at smoked poppers

    Minor Update: I made my second batch with a few modifications: 1. Used 1/3 the fat cream cheese - made nice difference, less dripping grease 2. Bacon - trimmed bacon of some obvious chunky white fat parts (gave to wife for some other recipe - great for refried black beans). 3. Bacon (2) -...

    Last Minute Butt (Qview)

    I would suspect that using an oil based clue would prevent smoke from permeating into the meat.  Is this not an issue?

    Thin Blue Smoke or Clouds of White Smoke (Qview)

    Was not using my cold smoke chip loader,  used the small tray over the element.  Exhaust is full y open.  No, the smoke does not stay like that the whole time, it clears out and then I will get TBS or TWS for about 20 minutes.  The question is do you ever get a cloud? I think next time I will...

    Last Minute Butt (Qview)

    I had sent my wife to CostCo to get a full Brisket.  Unfortunately at 10 PM I go to prepare it for a smoke the first thing the next morning and find a small 4lb flat.  I prepared it and went to bed.  The next morning very disappointed I put in in the smoker and then ran to the local grocery to...
