    Newbie to MES

    Generally I don't have to add more water to mine during a smoke, although I've had to a couple of times but it's probably just that I didn't start with enough. You don't want to open the door all the time, but a quick peek at everything doesn't hurt the temps too badly. Using a couple of fire...

    Newbie to MES

    I generally leave mine open while I'm in the add-wood stage so that the smoke continues to move and doesn't get stagnant. If you have it shut all the way, the excess will go out by the gaskets which is fine, but will eventually build up some "goo" there. I use the water pan all the time too...

    disconnect the power source?

    When mine is in the mid 30s or so, I lose the first digit on the controller. It's easy enough to figure out while you set your temperature though so I don't really worry about it too much because it comes back as the smoker warms up.

    Eggnog that has that TASTE...

    I love eggnog and this looks like a good one! If you're worried about the raw eggs, using pasteurized eggs will help with that. We can't find them around here, but the larger cities should have them.

    New Masterbuilt-MES Sam's Club W/QVIEW

    Sam's used to offer a free one-time visit to see if you liked it before committing to be a member. That might still be an option.

    If you had to pick one thing???

    I guess out of everything I'd miss pork ribs the most...they're always good and you can make them so many different flavors they never get old.

    Cleaning MES

    Like you said, it varies by person. I always line my water pan (inside and out) and drip pan with foil for easier clean-up. I'll change out the foil in the water pan every smoke and the drip pan after it gets a bit of build-up on it, so that depends on what I'm smoking. Both of those and the...

    Q-view Photobucket Photos Disappear

    You can't move them around in Photobucket either, like to resort them or something. Doing that will cause the link to break too. Of course, if you sort them over there you can put a new link over here to get them to show up again. If it's not your post, you just have to use your imagination!

    ~ Buddy from East Texas ~

    Cajun Texans- I like that! It's sort of funny too because I have 2 links of boudain in the nuker' thawing and got a pot on Christmas for my turkey fryer that I can boil crawfish in. And I had blackened chicken and noodles for supper last night. OMG I never realized how far I've slipped as a...

    What wood for an ABT?

    Whatever I'm already using, usually cherry or hickory. I occasionally will just make up a batch of Dutch's beans and some ABTs all alone, and then I'll use hickory. I like the sweet-hot combo of the beans and peppers.

    Surf N Turf

    Another fine meal! How long did you keep the potatoes in there? I assume there is a range between still raw and "creamed" pototoes too?

    I'd like to say THANKS! and hope I can help out as much as I've been helped by others.

    Sausage suggestions?

    Rytek here too. Another reason to get the Rytek book is that so many people here have it. If you have a question and give the page number, and if you listen real hard, you can actually hear all the pages flipping to that page number so that they can help you out!

    How many fatties does it take to fill a MES 40?

    That will be a nice Christmas! I would guess that if you were organized about it you could put 4 per shelf without any problem, so 16 total in the 40". I once had 8 butts in mine and everything fit well and they're about twice the width of a fatty give or take. I would be sure to preheat...
