    It would not be easy for me to heat it up in the garage and then move it to the deck. Those areas are too far away from one another. I'd love to have it available to work during the winter months - I still get hungry! If it only needs a "kick-start" to get going I'm sure I can manage that...

    Have any of you seen this before - the unit (MES40) is unable to power up around or under 32 degrees (eaa1 error)? Seems we already talked about the meat probe/thermometer issues.... "Purchased a few months back, what a piece of junk. Meat probe isn't accurate at all. I have two other digital...

    I pretty much have my cell phone on me around the house so carrying the extra remote is not desirable. The bluetooth should eliminate that if it works properly.

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I believe I'll start with the MES 30 (or 40). I based the decision on the following factors: Electric seems like the safer play when leaving the unit unattended (on my deck) for a few hours (AMNPS-style). The MES seems very popular here and most people...

    So it seems that many of these smokers can be made to cold smoke if you can fit something like the AMNPS inside. Would that be a good general rule of thumb?

    I'm not sure I'd like to manage and dispose of charcoal that much although I love the flavor.

    I can definitely see myself looking at cold smoking as I read that it is great for seafood, steak, and wild game. My wife enjoys salmon/fish and I hunt and will enjoy steaks and venison. I wouldnt want to cook those meats for very long as they are leaner.

    Thanks everyone for the great feedback so far - here are some responses and comments: 1. Can the electric smokers like the MES be stored outside? I should have listed that as a requirement of storage. 2. Which smokers are best suited for outside storage or can all be stored outside with the...

    Looking to get started smoking but am still in the information gathering phase. While I'm still in that information gathering phase I'd like to learn what some of you might recommend based on my environment and preferences. Rather than try to pinpoint a single strategy I'd like to share an...
