    Is Meat safe to eat?

    IMHO 1-3 hours your safe provided whatever your smoking is cooked through.  Once had a turkey not cooked through in oven sat there for about 4-6 hours, put in fridge and again sat out, found not so nice looking green spot where bacteria was happily reproducing.

    Todd's Charcoal Pellet

    How about some pics?  Say 3 different smokes of ribs and 3 different smokes of pork butt to see if the results are consistent.  Many of us over the years have tried various briquettes in different sizes, makes, quantities, procedures, and the results are mixed and never consistent.

    Help did i just mess up my new MES 40!

    MES owners have been using the tile deflector for years.  Personally I never liked the idea of using tile, it is heavy, the MES is light gauge stainless, when heated it expands, thus wear on screws and holes holding the smoke tray assembly.  Instead I use a light weight aluminum cookie sheet...

    Just un-boxed new MES 40...it's damaged!

    Consider getting Sam's 2 yr extended warranty, $30 at least that was the price a couple of years ago.

    Planning to purchase a MES 40 in the next few days

    Sam's also sells an inexpensive extended warranty 1 yr $15 and 2 yr $30.  That was the price the last time I checked, might have changed.

    Which one! New MES 40 first Qview

    Hats off to "exromenyer", as he said candid feedback on his initial reply, but he replied to the feedback with a gracious comment.  Exromenyer is kool in my book, if you decide to try an MES again, feel free to PM me for any questions you might have.

    New to smoking, hoping for some equipment advice

    Kevin, you ask a lot of good questions.  It sounds like you are sold on the MES, the advice to go all the way to the MES 40 is sound advice if you were not in an apartment, most who have the place to use the larger MES who purchase a MES 30 will want the larger unit later.  It's like TV's...

    2011 MES 40 VS 2012 MES 40

    Guess what, my 6 year old MES 40, doesn't have a window, doesn't have meat probe, doesn't have wheels, doesn't have 1200 watt element, yet works GREAT!  Mine is a box with a controller and an consistent heat source, that all that is required for great Q, the rest is up to the cook. Almost every...

    MES 40 - Question about racks

    Just remove the rack.  Or just spray with Pam and its easy to clean afterwards. If using one rack, I like to use the one 2nd from top.  In my older MES its is closest to temp sensor.  New models the sensor is a different location.

    MES 40 - Plug Into Wall

    I haven't read the current manual but it used to state right in the manual to NOT use an extension cord.  If you need to a 12 ga will do the trick.  I have to use an ext. cord it is 50' long and is a 12 ga.  I can tell you for a fact that my 800 watt MES 40 using a lighter gauge ext cord DID NOT...

    Your car/truck broke into at your house? What next?

    Yo all, This morning my wife discovered her car was either broke into or she left a door unlocked, nothing we thought was stolen, however the clove box & ash trays were gone through.  We reported it to our local police and even an officer came out and took a report.  We asked if they could...

    Thinking about a MES - but should I go with "new" or "old" model 40" MES?

    Old or new, my MES 40 is 6 years old, it has no window, it has no meat probe, it has no wheels, it also doesn't have a reduced size wood chip tray with an extra piece of metal that might prevent the wood chips from burning correctly, and it doesn't have 1200 watt element (my is 800 watts).  9...

    I know there can be a temperature variance on the MES, but this much?

    While water isn't exactly thermal mass is does hold heat better than air, which btw is passing through the inlet & exhaust, so I find it strange that your MES holds temp better or has less variance in temp disparity readings without the water pan? As to the OP's question, my MES 40 has always...
