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
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...
Oh. Sorry I bought a gen 2.5 pro series. The newest model I wad going to wait on but decided I couldn't wait was released today I saw its listed for $499 and that's without the broiler. That's sold separately. At $499 im actually not disappointed in my purchase I'd put $500 towards a RecTec...
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...
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
My MES 30 finally gave out. Working fine and about 4 hrs in the heating element broke. Not a bad run of 9 years I tossed the meat but now looking for a new smoker. Trying to decide if I want another electric or pellet grill. I thought about a stick burner but to much with with two under 4 @...
Trying to find an old country over under (preferred) or a pecos. I'm up here in Michigan and no academy's by me. Looked online to no avail. Have each been discontinued? Ive had my MES for awhile now and looking for a stick burner that won't require tons of modifications but went cost me $1500...
