    Decided to go with GMG Daniel Boone Wifi any tips?

    I called about buying a non-wifi model and they have a truck coming in on Thursday but all of the Daniel Boone models on the truck have wifi so they cut me a deal on it. Im just hoping they stick to that on Thursday. I have a brisket I am going to cook on Saturday night but not sure what to cook...

    MES 30 improvements on smoke consistency?

    Summary 1. Get AMNPS 2. Microwave pellets 60 seconds before use 3. Light AMNPS with torch burn for 10 minutes 4. Add exhaust point Todd I was cooking a Filet steak yesterday the cook was only 2 hours so I was thinking wood chips wood work fine. After the first chip load burned off the...

    MES 30 improvements on smoke consistency?

    I used B & B pecan pellets I can taste the smoke flavor in the burger but it's very mild. I suppose lighting both sides might due the trick. The mes30 had a decent amount of smoke when I opened the door so I just need to figure out how to get that smoke flavor I was getting with the chip loader...

    The 3" 90 fits like a glove into my MES30 and I can easily remove to put on my cover tonight!!! My AMNPS has been going for 2 hours with steady blue stream of smoke. I am smoking hamburgers not sure how they are going to taste but its all I had to cook at the moment.

    Traeger Century worth $500 other options?

    Isnt that one for tail gate parties? Do you think it is built to hold up as someones main grill? How big was the packer? My MES30 will fit about a 10 pounder but its hard to find smaller packers.

    Traeger Century worth $500 other options?

    I bought a MES30 in December and now I use it 3-4 times a week so I am beginning to considering something bigger. I found a local guy selling a Traeger Century new in the box for $500 you think it is worth it? Also does anyone know if this has the same controller as the Elite series? I am...

    Lowes could not find that smoke stack but the new master forge grills have one that looks very similar but its SS.  The SS stack master forge part# 403-01002-05 but Lowes said to call Master Forge direct # 1-800-963-0211 not sure what it cost. I bough a 3 " 90 for now to see if it helps first.

    MES 30 improvements on smoke consistency?

    Agreed KISS (keep it simple son) My back patio is wide open from both sides to open green belts so likely plays a role more exposure to wind & drafts possibly.

    MES 30 improvements on smoke consistency?

    Thanks for the info on this!! My MES was smoking perfect with the AMNPS and just stopped I think the wind got to it and possibly back drafted as Todd mentioned. The top of the MES 30 exhaust makes it vunrable to wind from all directions. The intake is down low and on one side and next to my...

    MES 30 improvements on smoke consistency?

    Nice this makes since you can control the airflow completely. Where did you find the stack? Are you using the AMNPS with this set up?

    MES 30 improvements on smoke consistency?

    I do use a probe to keep an eye on the temp inside the MES to wake me in case a fire. The last time I did an overnight cook I added wood chips from 7pm - 12am then made sure they cooked off before hitting the pillow. It was not the best sleep I ever had but I did sleep some. I would think the...

    Thats cool I am willing to try that but is there a way to make it come on & off the smoker easily when not in use so I can keep it covered?
