    Stuffed Pork Loin (Apple)

    If you filet the loin and stuff it, where do you put your meat thermo to check for the internal temperature? Do you try to hit the center of the lion and hope you miss the stuffing? I want to try one tomorrow but not quite sure.

    How much smoke

    I smoke my ribs in a MES and use the 3-2-1 for spare ribs and will do baby backs with a 2 1/2-2-1 method. I keep the smoke going until I wrap them then I stop adding chips. After I unwrap them and put them back on for the last hour, more chips for me. Good Luck!

    MES 30 improvements on smoke consistency?

    LOL - I got my dishwasher 39 years ago, she'll make a little noise when I try to load her up with too much baked on mess.

    So what's in there with the smoke?

    My First Smoke

    All things being equal looks like you had a pretty good day. I upgraded to a MES this year myself and also purchased an AMNPS. I have not used the AMNPS yet, like you I plan to run some trial sessions to make sure I can keep it lit. I did not see the temp you were trying to maintain but will...

    Arrrgh! My MES 40 burst aflame...

    This should be a wakeup call to anyone who uses their smoker close to combustible material. As a somewhat newbie (2nd year) and brand new to electric smokers I'm guilty of this myself, I do use my smoker in the garage. I haven't yet left it unattended for more than an hour due to the fact that I...

    New MES40 Sportsman Bluetooth review

    I also upgraded to this model and so far I am enjoying it. I started a thread earlier about the amount of smoke this unit puts out with such a small amount of chips. Did you experience a heavy smoke flow during your first use. On a side note I use the iPhone/iPad app and do not get nearly the...

    To Much Smoke?

    I don't believe the temp was the cause, I use an iGrill2 which I have tested with boiling water and ice water. Attached is a snap shot that shows the end of the first 3 hours, the 2 hour wrap and the start of the final hour. It remained pretty steady except when I opened the door. The top vent...

    Anyone use wood pellets in their MES?

    Sorry about your experience, it sounds like it's a love it or hate it product. Mine came on Thursday and will give it a dry run today. I'm hoping I become one of the many that preach how well it works.

    To Much Smoke?

    Blue & Frosty - thank you for you opinions, kind of what I was thinking. Jet - the chip loader is so small for this unit (probably less than half a cup) I don't think I could load ships in foil through it. I'll practice that when it's off. I did receive my AMNPS yesterday but did not season it...

    To Much Smoke?

    So today I'm smoking spare ribs using the 3-2-1 method (first time doing ribs on my new electric). Setup is MES 40 2.5 model, 15 1/2 LBs of ribs, 225 degrees, water pan full. I have added apple wood chips every 45 minutes to an hour (not soaked) as to what most people seem to recommend. My...

    Now that's funny, but Mr Spock will remain silent, RIP Leonard Nimoy.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I just loaded the app to the kids iPhone 6 and the range is not any better for me. I don't know if you are part of the fortunate majority or the fortunate minority but either way good for you. Even with this issue I'm still liking my smoker a lot.

     I agree with you Bear, give me a darn remote option!

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Gotalot - I have only used it with my iPad 2 so maybe that is my problem (old technology). I have a Lumia 1520 phone that is Windows based and have great success with Bluetooth connections. But with that being said Masterbuilt does not offer an app for the Windows platform. I'll install the app...
