    MES Digital Smokers

    Sure enough, I found them.  Due to the deformed back panel the "passenger" side holes are not lining up.  I think I'll just drill another hole in the back panel at an angle and live with it. I googled AMNPS.  Sounds like something I may want in the future.  For now I'm still waiting to smoke my...

    MES Digital Smokers

    Thanks, guys.  I went thru the packing pretty carefully, looking for them.  But I'll bet they are hidden in there somewhere.  Maybe I should go take another look.  Why couldn't they just be taped to the device?

    MES Digital Smokers

    Picked up my MES 30" 20070910 last night and opened it this morning.  The only real assembly remaining was putting on the digital controls, which was the mfr's only real opportunity to leave out a part, as the rest of the unit came pre-assembled.  And they took advantage of the opportunity.  The...

    My Plan 4 First Smoke!

    Got an email that my smoker is in.  I'll pick it up today and put it together, break it in and give smoking a shot.  I make a pretty good meatloaf and can't think of a better choice for my first effort.  First of all, I'm familiar with oven making it and know how it should taste when done, so I...

    Maverick or Thermapen?

    I assume that is accurate enough, so I'll do a search for it.  I'll pop for another $15, and need enough stuff to get to the 25 buck free shipping if it's offered for the therm.  I just don't want to be stuck with $150 worth of therms if this doesn't work out.

    Maverick or Thermapen?

    Just got an email.  Todd has already shipped the Mav.  I just ordered it this morning.

    Maverick or Thermapen?

    Mdboatbum, wouldn't be on the S. River, would you? I do the majority of the cooking and all the grilling, but not a whole lot of baking.  So I can easily wait for the tpen, if ever.  I did just order the Mav from Amazen.

    Maverick or Thermapen?

    Thanks folks, that makes perfect sense.

    Maverick or Thermapen?

    My smoker will arrive 8/5 and I don't have a thermometer.  Or time to search this forum, so I apologize if this question has been asked a lot.  Why is the Thermapen so highly thought of if it requires opening the smoker so heat is lost?  It seems the Maverick with two probes and a sending unit...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    Not to hijack and probably should PM, but in about '68 I was issued a match grade 14 and unlimited MG ammo for use in meets.  Surprisingly accurate rifle.  I can't duplicate scores today with my scoped .308.  I'm sure it has nothing to do with the operator.  I promise, Mod.  No more.

    Masterbuilt 20070910 Heating Element Q.

    I just ordered this particular model because I read it was designed so the element could be replaced without having to purchase more than the element.  I assume that is true because I read it on the Internet!  Question is, is that true?  And how frequently am I likely to need to replace it? ...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I took the first letter of the first name of myself, my DW and our three DDs.  I'm not sure how long ago that was, but it was in the early internet days.  Only once do I remember anyone linking it to the KKK.  That was when I found I'd been banned from a site after my first use due to the...

    No Bad Habits Newbie

    Hello.  I recently got the urge to give smoking a try.  Bought some pork tips for my first experiment last week and added a whole chicken on the top grill halfway through the process.  It came out pretty good.  We use chicken to make dog food, but it was done right and not too dry when I tasted...
