    MES and temp

The only temp problem I have is...

    MES and temp

    Sat. I preheated the thing for 3 hours (it was 37 degrees out when I started) Had it at temp for probably an hour and a half (had other things going on). Didn't see a temp drop till I put the meat in. And the MES is plugged directly into an outlet.

    I do have one quick question. I have read many of the threads and walk throughs on ribs and this is going to sound really stupid but.... When do I add the sauce. After they come out or during the last 30 min or so? What do you guys recommend. I have 6 racks so I was going to go naked on some but...

    Hello, Chris in Indy here. Been lurking for a while but just bought the MES at Sams club. Had an ECB but really wanted more capacity and minimal babysitting really sold me on this unit. Anyway I'm working on seasoning it right now and will attempt my first smoke tommorrow with 4 racks of spares...
