    Looking for a good smoker

    Justin, you can't go wrong with an MES 40, the additional capacity will allow you to not only increase the quantity of whatever you are smoking, and feed a lot more people, you will find it just plain makes it easier to smoke things without cutting or working extra trying to fit stuff in.  Most...

    2012 MES 40 Now at Sam's

    FOR NEW MES 40 owners with the heat shield/slant drip tray, I curious to know how or if that shield and the reflected heat affects the AWNPS if set in the drip pan at the bottom of the MES?  My guess would be that the additional reflected heat would make it drier underneath and the...

    What am I doing wrong? Help with MES 30 and A-MAZE-N smoker

    • Getting that hot cigar like cherry is very important, you can start gently blowing on the end a minute or two after lit.  What you are trying to accomplish is getting the whole end glowing hot, not just a portion of but the whole end.  Some times the flame blows out, that's ok because it will...

    MES owners - question about your door seal

    What you say would seem to make sense.  Frankly, if Todd's instructions about pulling out the chip loader tube slightly is followed there should be plenty of air.  When I start the smoke with the AWNPS I pull out the tube, as instructed, after about an hour I shove it back in, the smoldering...

    I Need a Possible Explanation

    Beernuts, well it seems all turned out great, that is good.   There can be several reasons for the readings, so rather than guess, lets look at some things that can help. 1st you need a 2nd source for both the internal temp of the MES and also the meat temp.  Before I bought the Maverick 732 I...

    Trying to decide MES 30 or 40

    workman215, welcome to SMF, you ask the same question that most of us MES owners asked. Let me ask you, when you watch BBQ TV shows, and they are cooking a whole rack of ribs, is that how you want to cook your ribs?  Or you are ok with cutting them to get them to fit in a smoker? Believe it or...

    what is the difference between the MES 40" and the 2nd gen 40"?

    To be honest dtsobel, there hasn't been enough latest model MES 40 owners posting to give a strong indicator if the latest version is as good or better than previous generations.  The few who have posted are happy with their purchase so far. I was looking at the latest generation MES 40 a...
