    Seeking advice on new smoker

    I’ve had an MES and now use a WSM 18.5” with a FireBoard and put viper fan. I don’t like the cleanup and setup time associated with the WSM, but I love that it’s set and forget with the FireBoard.

    Problem with MES140G reporting wrong (high) temp

    Edit: I think I discovered the problem. I put the meat on the second highest rack and a cookie sheet with tin foil just below it on the third highest rack. I removed the sheet and the temperature seems to be registering correctly once again. I can only assume that the cookie sheet (a half sheet...

    How to season a new MES?

    New to smoking-need suggestions

    Hi-new to smoking and want to jump in. from the research I’ve done, I’m currently between propane or electric. I know for electrics that Masterbuilt seems to be the go-to brand and the AMAZN pellet thing is definitely required, but I need some more help. I think bear carver or someone may have...
