    Stan if you do decide to go for the MES 40,  you may want to consider the older generation . You can still get that on Amazon.  it's about 100 bucks more expensive than the new generation.... just an FYI Zed

    Stan,  as someone else pointed out the MES does have its problems.  I don't want to make anyone angry who uses it and enjoys smoking with it, but the fact remains that to make it work you will need to do a few mods.  Also it is not the most reliable unit out there.  I have spend the better...

    1st try at beef ribs - confusing information :)

    Hey yardbird, I like to smoke mine like Dave,  but I go 190F for 3 hours ,  then foil the ribs, add some BBQ sauce if you are using any or a bit of apple juice  230F for 2hours. then unwrap them and continue to smoke until they are done..... could be 30 min to 1-2 hours more.   note the...

    SMOKIN IT offers free cover and rib hooks

    The #3 has disappeared from their website,   you can't place it in your shopping cart. I guess you can call the company if you want to order.

    Very new need lots of help! :D

    Hi, I'll make a suggestion for you before you ruin some more of that fine meat :-)  put a thermometer in your unit.   i have several, so a cheaper high temperature oven thermometer will work but a digital unit like a Maverick ET732 will make things easier as well as more precise.  it's about 60...

    Smokin-It Smoker Temperature

    I am not faulting the unit for the temp swings.  It is part of the electric experience for better or worse.  My worry about it is specific to lower than expected temp swings.   That is if the unit can't reach the maximum temp of 250 as average.  IE if you set it to 250 and it swings between 220...

    Temp problem

    35* swings are reasonable. if you check your oven temperature swings (if you have an electric oven in your kitchen) you'll see similar swings.  when i get my # 3 i hope i get similar performance to yours. that is the temps are a little higher than your set temps , that way you can actually...

    Smokin-It Smoker Temperature

    this is the only thing that concerns me with this smoker.  I will be getting in in the near future (#3) and hope, HOPE that the temp range is not lower than what it should be.  I can handle higher temps but not lower. I will be using a Maverick to monitor the    temps anyways.  It would be...

    Hello from The Golden Horseshoe (Southern Ontario)

    Hello everyone, I just recently stumbled upon this website/forum by accident while searching for a new smoker.  That was a couple of weeks ago. I literally read hundreds of pages on this site and it seems there is a real community here.  So I decided to join.  I have been smoking/grilling on a...
