    ThermoPro TP-18 calibration questions

    Does the TP-18 self calibrate? I see no way to make an adjustment where other thermometers are adjustable by the user. I am at sea level so the thermometer should be showing 32F, but is 34.6F. Boiling test shows 214.3F to 216.1F

    Feeling a little like a traitor

    So I smoked some ribs on my Weber Genesis grill yesterday instead of the MES 30. They came out as good as any ribs I have done on the MES 30. I am sure that someone with a more sensitive pallet than me would have a different opinion. I intended on doing 3 - 2 - 1, it ended up being 2 - 2 - 1/4...

    Affixing an oven probe to MES 30 back wall?

    I am brainstorming affixing an oven probe to the back wall of my MES 30 smoker. I want to attach it as close as possible to the built in thermometer. My first thought was to staple gun it in place, but that brings up a concern of puncturing the wall as well as possibly nicking some wires behind...

    Temp rising above set temp - way up there

    Twice today while smoking a couple of pork rib racks I have had to reset the temp to 235F. One time when I noticed the temp was at 265F and the other 295F. On the last one I ran an errand for about 45 minutes. Never do that again. So I opened the door for a couple minutes until it cooled down...

    Am I crazy or did the Masterbuilt app go away for iPad?

    I could have sworn that the app was available for the iPad. I do have it installed on my iPhone, but can't seem to download it for the iPad in the store. Am I crazy or I am just not remembering correctly what devices it is available for?

    First smoke of the season - first whole chicken

    Sorry no pictures. Did a video search for how to do it on Youtube. Picked one and went for it. 5 lb whole chicken. Washed it, patted it dry, rubbed olive oil on the skin, sprinkled with rub. Let it sit for an hour to room temp. Meanwhile heated up the smoker to 235˚, put in two loads of...

    First smoke since joining the forum last week

    Thanks everyone who answered my questions in the general discussion thread first off. No water, keep the vent open, etc... Thank you Jeff Phillips for your rub and BBQ sauce recipes. Used the Texas rub and your sauce recipe. That sauce is the absolute best tasting sauce I have ever had in my...

    A coupe quick questions

    I have a Masterbuilt 30" digital BT electric (would put that in my signature - but haven't found how to do that yet - just joined). I have a few things to learn so my questions may seem a little silly. Q1 - Do you close the vent, leave it partially open or open all the way during smoking? I...

    A rookie but learning

    Good morning all, Dave here. Been smoking off and on for about a year. Had some successes and some failures. Have a Masterbuilt 30" digital blue tiooth. Just purchased the Weber iGrill2 thermometer. Nice to see that the temp is within 10 deg f of the Masterbuilt. I initially bought it for my...
