    Inkbird 4x

    Hi guys.. I have the inkbird 4 probe Bluetooth thermo... This this disconnects all the time. does anyone know how to fix this? I do need to have the app open ALL the time?

    MES 40 blowing breaker

    Hi guys... I have a mes40 (3/4 yrs old) that has been sitting for a while... Finally decided to plug it in again, and it blows my GFCI every time... It will power on, bit as soon as the element kicks on, the outlet blows. Any ideas? Happens with AND without an extension cord

    Best probe these days

    I guess that would help.. multi probe, and wireless receiver would be best. Bluetooth would be a sweet bonus

    Pellet smoker - Brisket fat cap

    Hey guys, Curious what people have found works best for pellet smokers and the fat cap on briskets... up or down? I have a GMG DB if that matters... I would think not, as most of these things run the same way.

    MES 40" heat element connection failures

    Hey Dave, another question... The original wire is running pretty short now... I need to add a few inches of new wire onto the existing stuff... does the new wire have to be high temp as well? I hope not, because I went to 3 places today and couldn't find any... I was thinking If i just got some...

    MES 40" heat element connection failures

    DAVE - Will I need to replace the current wire? I had read another post on here that people took the entire back plate off the unit used some high temp wires through out the entire smoker.... Or will a solder with the original wire be ok? KURT - Any problems since you did you fix? If you read...

    MES 40" heat element connection failures

    Has happened to me 3 times now, and of course, in the middle of a brisket cook.... The left and right connections to the heating element have been basically "cooked" from what I can imagine is just the heat from the element its self. I have been cooking around 270 degrees and it seems every 4th...

    MES not enough smoke - have the AMNPS

    My vent is always open. The AMNPS works well, I know this because its burned every pellet in it by the end of my cooks. I have the 40" BT. AMNPS goes in bottom left corner, sitting on top of some wire mesh type stuff so its an inch off the bottom and breaths from all sides... My question is more...

    MES not enough smoke - have the AMNPS

    Hey all, Im having some trouble lately... as the title says, I have the AMNPS but I still hardly get any smoke flavor on my meat. The only thing I can think of is it may be my pellets? Im using an oak pellet right now... Do I need to go to a hickory or even mesquite pellet? I've seen/read that...
