    Mes 30 died, need replacement

    Yea I'm holding right around 225-230 which is a good range for a butt but I like around 250 to speed it up. Hopefully when it's not as chilly/windy itll perform where I wont need it set at 275 to hold in this range

    Mes 30 died, need replacement

    Giving it a first run today and must say I'm not impressed. I haven't hit above 230 with it at at 275 and its been on 3 hrs. As far as I've seen it hasn't cycled on/off either which means itll just burn thru the element like the last one. It is 40 and windy but I've put it in a sheltered...

    Mes 30 died, need replacement

    I tried everything in the MES to get the pellets to stay lit and nothing worked. Place on the rack to the left if the heating element with the chip tray pulled out an inch to leaving it out completely. Still nothing worked. If I cold smoked bacon and left the door lightly latched it worked...

    LG 900 or Pitboss 820/1000sc

    Looking at a pellet grill. Only had electric smoker and it died. Looking at LG900 for $599 @ local Costco or the pitboss 820 or 1000sc at menards for 399 or 549. Thoughts? Tectec is awesome but can't justify the price with already having a Weber propane will primarily use for a smoker

    How's the 2.5 with chips? I had a ampns for my 30 and never could keep it lit. Ended up buying the mes smoker attachment so I didn't have to add chips every hour

    Thanks for the information. I'll check out the 2.5. I saw Masterbuilt is going to release a newer smoker/rotisserie and debated waiting for that.
