    cutting a turkey in two?

    Chef Jimmy, I am not going to debate you, you are a trained pro (bowing to the "Chef" moniker in your aka).  I am not encouraging anyone to follow my example or advice.  I am encouraging everyone who cooks to read for themselves many of the available sources on the internet regarding food...

    cutting a turkey in two?

    There is a lot written on this forum that others have posted on the "danger zone" and getting whatever cut of meat through it in 4 hours.  Interesting that very few say that about a HUGE Pork BUTT, or how about a brisket.  Why haven't the millions who have dug a pit and buried a whole hog, get...

    MES 30 inch Do you soak the wood chips?

    There is NO difference in the smoke, the difference is how long it takes to get smoke.  If you follow the "New MES Owner tip guide" Dry wood chips may start a couple of minutes sooner, in my 800 watt MES 40 the wet chips smoke in less than 5 minutes, dry chips will start smoking right away. ...

    MES 40 Wiring issue

    bc2050p,  so glad you got it working and your Thanksgiving dinner isn't ruined. My MES40 is 5 almost 6 years old, and still cooking, but I know the wiring issue will  hit it sooner or later.  I think after reading your post, I need to be proactive and rewire during the cold days ahead when not...

    CAJUN INJECTOR vs. MASTERBUILT 30"

    Not sure which deal you are talking about, I see the MES 30 for $129  that is a great deal, buying any other electric smoker brand in this price range is a waste of money.

    MES 30 question: Brisket?

    Depends on the size, if its a full with point and flat it could be tight.  He can alway separate the point from the flat.

    What to Do with a "Decommissioned" MES 30?

    If it was me, I would try to figure out how to get the defective MES working again, and either find a use or sell it. Replacing the cut cord is easy.  There isn't many parts, digital controller, maybe separate relay, heating element, some connector terminal, and wiring, the thermal probes. If...

    NEW MES 40 WATTAGE?

    bob bramlett, thanks for NOT SHOUTING after your first two posts! Bob, the MES 40 at 1200 watts max temp setting is 275º, and you really need about 320+ deg to achieve the texture you desire.  For me if I want a smoky flavor to my chicken I start the cook in the MES then finish on my Weber gas...

    MES 30 inch Do you soak the wood chips?

    No I don't use pellets in the MES wood tray, I use pellets in the AMNPS, and they work great there. I have tried all kinds of chunks of various sizes, I have a band saw so I can cut them to any size I want.  Yes you get a little more time on the chunks, but it is hard to control TBS, sometimes...

    MES 3 weeks old

    Pictures tell the story, lets see it.  Also your thread title says MES however there is no 300º setting for the MES, so a pic of your smoker would help understand what you are facing?

    So bummed out right now! This sucks!

    Fast fix, 3 wire nuts, electrical tape. Strip the wires, wire nut them, tape them, and your good to go. When you can go to Home Depot or Lowes, they sell pigtails, you can get a 12 ga 10' pig tail.  Pigtail has the plug on one end and 3 bare wires on the other.

    MES 30 129$

    Raul Duke, buy BOTH!  You really want an MES 40, the extra capacity just plain makes it easier, (you won't have to cut your ribs you can just lay them right on the MES 40 rack.  Why buy the MES 30, that is a fantastic deal, buy it, and then either give it to someone as a gift, or sell on...

    Water Pan Use in MES 30?

    Please understand that my case for the use of water below is not intended to argue with anyone, before I was given a AWNS as a beta tester for Todd, I was completely happy with the smoked food (mainly ribs & pork butt), coming out of my MES.  In fact it was good enough that people asked me to...
