Sam's usually has the MES 40 for about $300.
It has the window which allows you to peek without opening the door and
the 40 has a lot more room to put whatever you are smoking.
Great looking fattie.
We use steak-uum for philly cheese steak, but have never thought of it for a fattie.
One more thing on my ever growing bucket list.
Toad--yours looks great. Now we both have that two week wait.
Salt--Thanks for the heads up. It was cold enough that morning that without any additional heat (other than the AMNPS) most of the smoke was well below the 75-85 degree range.
I remember reading that some folks fire the MES up to...
