    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I made the mistake of getting steam table pans. Cover way too much shelf. Now I use them after pulling meat or throwing all the food in to serve ("trough style!). They came in handy for yesterday's crab boil... Happy Father's Day, all.

    If all you need is the 30, you'll be very pleased with it! As David mentioned, get the maverick (I like the 732 models) and the amnps and you'll be good to go.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Did that fix the problem? Great CS goes a long way!

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I've had mine under this cover (the more expensive version): http://www.the-cover-store.com/square-smoker-cover-122-elite/?color=Khaki It has survived rain, snow, a hurricane and many 100+ degree days (NJ). Smoker runs and looks as good as the day I unboxed it (outside and glass, that is).

    This makes me sad and happy at the same time... I have a little elevated broiler rack just for my AMPS to be kept off the floor on the left side. I guess I'll have to move my pellet tray to the right side and start using my little rack for, well, broiling!

    Chucky Burnt Ends (with Mopar Powered “Hemi” Sauce)

    Bear, I've been looking all over. What size pans and cooling/baking racks do you use? We have the same smoker and I have 5 different sizes of disposable aluminum pans but can never figure out your combo...

    New to the forum and just picked up a MES 40 BT

    I've got this cover: http://www.the-cover-store.com/square-smoker-cover-122-elite/?color=Khaki A little pricier, but my smoker has been through significant rain and snow without a single drop on it. It covers the entire smoker down to the crossbar in the legs (just below the lip of the drip...

    My BT works pretty well from inside my kitchen and family room. Having said that, what kind of range do you get on the RF remotes?

    I keep the smoke going as long as there's something in the smoker...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    It takes me less than 5 minutes to light my amps. I load the pellets in the tray and leave them alone for an hour before smoking (my pellets are stored in a cool, dry area as is). Then I light them with my propane torch and let them stay ignited for a minute or two. Then blow out the flame...

    Not the same thing. The cold smoker attachment allows you to generate smoke externally from the smoker, so that the actual "burning" of the wood does not cause an increase in temperature inside the smoker (which would happen if the wood was kept in the internal tray). AMPS significantly eases...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    As always, I find myself in Bear's camp. Never used the chip smoker in any MES I've owned. Always used my AMPS and never had a bad smoke. Some meat choices left a bit to be desired, but always perfect smoke. Hope you all had an enjoyable 4th! We've been eating brisket since 2pm...

    Are you using wood chips in the tray? Filled water/drip pan (creating excess humidity)? Soaked wood? Give us some more details...

    MES 30 Side Shelf

    Got it from Amazon warehouse deals ($14, shipped).  The only issue is that the box was damaged.  Shelf and hardware are perfect.  Got it installed in under 5 minutes (I was too laze to remove entire cover):
