    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I understand where you mean.  My placement gets it within a few inches of where the meat is and the only way to get it even closer is to have it share the rack as the meat which creates a few more logistical issues as I'm attempting to remove & replace the rack regularly.  I think my placement...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    The ET-732 has programmable parameters as well.  I set the smokers high-low temp range as well as the desired temp of the meat and then set an audible alarm to set whenever any of these is reached. FWIW, the ET-732 can be found for cheaper since there's a new version available (733) but I...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I leave the rack that sits directly above the juice pan in the smoker and clip the temp probe to this rack in the middle left to right but back towards the back of the smoker to avoid getting juices directly onto it.  Then I just run it up to the vent where I connect it to the unit outside and...

    Going to try CSR's for the first time in my MES30... Tips?

    But wouldn't 205 be too hot for sliced CSR's?  That's usually my target temp for my pulled pork but that's pulled.  I'm assuming you want it lower temp for slicing, no?  I don't have a covered pan I can put in the smoker so I'm assuming I can foil instead?

    Going to try CSR's for the first time in my MES30... Tips?

    I have a hard time believing I'm the only one looking for this approach to CSR's.  Does everyone just set the temp to 240deg, put them in for 4hrs and then take them out?  Why is there so little detailed information when I attempt to search?

    Going to try CSR's for the first time in my MES30... Tips?

    I would prefer to go by temp when I smoke.  This way I have actual measurements to take notes and make improvements on with smokes to come.

    Going to try CSR's for the first time in my MES30... Tips?

    In another thread I posted to last year the fella said he cooked his at 240-250 for 4 hours for sliced but I would prefer knowing a target internal temperature before I get started as I prefer to be a little more scientific in my approach.  I'm sure 240-250 for 4hrs probably works but I got this...

    Going to try CSR's for the first time in my MES30... Tips?

    I'm doing some searching and am coming up blank on trying to find a how to on CSR's for the MES30.  I've done other things so I'm familiar with operation of the unit and what not just looking for basic guidelines for CSR's specifically.  Looks like my target smoker temp should be 225deg like...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    That's not true.  At our rate per kwh I'm looking at a few bucks to smoke a pork shoulder at most.

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Interesting.  I guess MB is sending me a 'body replacement' which I can assume is basically a 2nd smoker sans the racks & pan & such.  I guess I'll see once it shows up but I sure hope the temps are at least consistent with whatever they're sending me.  I don't even care if they're accurate...

    I noticed you used the word attempt. Were you finally able to get a perfectly (or at least acceptably) functioning controller?

    SoFlaQuer's Finishing Sauce (For Pulled Pork)

    I'm pretty sensitive to it and I've got a lot of apples & lemons that likely won't all get used otherwise so I think I'll try it this way this time and then next time I smoke another shoulder I'll try the base recipe and then compare.

    SoFlaQuer's Finishing Sauce (For Pulled Pork)

    I've got a 9lb butt going into the smoker later tonight for tomorrow's football festivities.  I plan to make this finished sauce but am a bit concerned about adding vinegar since I don't like it.  I'm going to try something to what you've listed here (I've already got about a 50/50 mixture of...

    Mes upgrade question

    Yes, I did the break-in procedure exactly as instructed. Like I said, I followed all instructions to the letter.

    Mes upgrade question

    So he's telling you the same thing but can't respond to any of my emails, huh?  Be warned, I ordered an AMNPS and was advised the same thing by Todd.  I ordered the tube as advised and had a flare up the first time using it that was quite high for an extended period of time.  I used the tube...

    Another Quality product recall

    My MES30 isn't blowing up (yet) but it isn't much better than that as I'm still dealing with warranty issues w/MB.

    Do you guys clean your racks?

    No, we had emailed back and forth several times so it appeared to be his preferred method of contact.  I find it unusual that he was quick to respond to those if it wasn't a working method of contact.  Also a bit odd that as soon as I requested some customer service he stopped responding.

    Do you guys clean your racks?

    I won't buy anything else from Todd at A-MAZE-N moving forward and can't in good conscience suggest others do either.  I ordered an AMNPS (or whatever the acronym is) and Todd emailed me to tell me that it probably wouldn't work well at my elevation and talked me into ordering one of his 12"...

    Newer MES and the amazen box

    I'll add my experience as well to possibly help others out.  I ordered an AMNPS (or whatever the acronym is) and Todd emailed me to tell me that it probably wouldn't work well at my elevation and talked me into ordering one of his 12" tubes instead.  I went ahead and ordered based on his advice...
