MES 40" Electric (gen 2.5) or Smoke Hollow 40" Smoke Tronix?
Thanks Dave. I did find the video during a previous search. It has some really good info. The other two threads were also helpful. I think the bottom line is that either smoker is going to have some flaws. Without jumping up to a higher price bracket, I don't think I am going to find...- ngiovas

MES 40" Electric (gen 2.5) or Smoke Hollow 40" Smoke Tronix?
I gave Outdoor Leisure Products a call. Got a live person right away and they were very helpful. A couple of notes: There are two heating elements - one under the wood box and a second larger one that heats the entire unit. They said combined they produce 1500 watts (I believe the MES 40 is...- ngiovas

MES 40" Electric (gen 2.5) or Smoke Hollow 40" Smoke Tronix?
After many years with my MES 30" gen 1 smoker (guessing it has been around 8 years), I am finally considering upgrading. The main reason I am looking to upgrade is capacity. There have been too many times that friends were coming over and I just couldn't fit enough food in the smoker. With...- ngiovas

Help - Brisket Temp Shot Up Real Fast.
I just wanted to follow up on my brisket. It was in fact fully cooked. I kept it wrapped in a couple of layers of heavy duty foil in the oven at 170 degrees. I served it around 6:00pm. It was moist, but slightly overcooked - I had to slice it thick because it was falling apart. It did have... -

Yes, I used a wooden skewer and it slid right in. -
Help - Brisket Temp Shot Up Real Fast.
I hit 199 degrees at 9:00am (after 7 hours). I checked it with two additional thermometers in 6 places and they all had the same readings (197-199 degrees). I went ahead and pulled them and wrapped them in one more layer of heavy duty foil and and couple of large towels before putting them in... -
Help - Brisket Temp Shot Up Real Fast.
Ok, I thought the stall was usually around 160 - 170 degrees. I figured at 180 it was past that point. I'm now just over six hours in and already at 188 degrees. Most likely this thing is going to be done in the next couple of hours. If I have it wrapped in a couple of layers of heavy duty... -
Help - Brisket Temp Shot Up Real Fast.
The smoker temp is at 225. I use a temp probe to determine the smoker temp. I stick it through a potato so it isn't laying on the rack. -
Help - Brisket Temp Shot Up Real Fast.
What do I do if my brisket internal temp shot up way faster than expected? It was at 180 degrees after only 4 hours. I picked up a 10.1 pound prime brisket from Costco. I am having some friends over later today, so I estimated that I wanted it to be ready at 5:00pm. I know the amount of time... -
Newbie temperature question.
Thanks for the help. It turned out fantastic. I had several neighbors over last night and people were eating 2 and 3 sandwiches. They are already asking me to make it again. SMF is a great resource. -
Newbie temperature question.
I'm making pulled pork for the first time today. I bought two butts that are just over 7 lbs each at Costco. I heated the smoker to 225 degrees and put both butts in the center racks of my MES at 5:00am this morning. The temp probe for the meat is in the lower butt. When I first put the meat... -

Thanks Bassman. I just realized that there is a forum for newbies to check in. Hopefully a moderator can move my post to the correct forum. Nick -
Checking In From MI
Hi All, I'm new to the forums. I got my first smoker (Brinkman charcoal smoker) a little over 15 years ago. I was never quite happy with temperature control. I used it until it rusted through and then got rid of it when I moved several years ago. I have been charcoal grilling since, but...
