    how well does the MES 40 work in the cold?

    Well I decided to go with tried and true and picked up a 2011 model MES 40 at Sams club. I seasoned it last night and so far I am impressed. It was 0 degrees last night when I seasoned it and it hit 275 in 35 minutes. I do realize I need to warm up longer when getting ready to smoke normally but...

    how well does the MES 40 work in the cold?

    I have a 50 foot 10 gauge so that hopefully will do the trick. It works for welding so I would think it would work for the smoker. Thanks for the input. Now just to determine if I get the 2011 or 2012 MES 40.

    how well does the MES 40 work in the cold?

    Thanks for the feedback. It took 30 lbs of charcoal and 13 hours to smoke the pork shoulders yesterday. Much more charcoal and time than normal. It would be nice to not have to worry about the fire constantly. I wouldn't think of smoking in the garage. It is a tuck under. The whole house would...

    2012 MES 40" Dissappointing Right Out Of The Box!

    Sorry to hear the issues with the new MES. Nice mod. I am anxious to hear how it works side by side with the previous model. I am going to buy a 40 MES but I am not sure if i should go with the 2012 or the 2011 model. I currently have a offset smoker and it works well but is quite high in...

    Smoke Box & Heat

    Don't rely too heavily on the themometer on the lid. My CG W/SFB will say 200 on the lid and be 275 -300 at the grill surface.

    Targets Loss My Gain!!

    Simply unbelievable that someone would jump on you like that. Sad. I too own a Chargriller with the SFB and that is what the manual says. I find that if grilling you need to season pretty much every time. For smoking the season stays much longer as the temp does not get as high. Phillet, Nice...

    try try again with qview

    Well it finished well. The brisket came out very good. The pork butt was a little less than perfect but good and the ABT's were great. I went to 205 * with the butt and rested in cooler for 3 hours but the thermometer must have been in fat or something cause it is not as tender as it should be...

    try try again with qview

    They are at 101* (pork) and 107* brisket already after 2 and 3/5 hours. Does that seem like it is rising too fast? I have been keeping the smoker at about 230 but I am fighting wind so I am not real sure what the grate temp is.

    try try again with qview

    Well after my first attempt at brisket failed miserably I am at it again. This time a 9 lb brisket with a 9 lb pork butt. They have been in for 2 hours. I just opened to squirt with some apple juice.

    I'm gonna give it a go with my first attempt at multiple smoke. I will be smoking a 8 lb brisket and a 8 lb pork butt. I just ordered them from the meat market and will pick up after work. MMM can't wait.

    At first I didn't success should I try again.

    I will give it a try again tomorrow. I was going to smoke a butt anyway. I'll make it a but and a brisket if i can find one. At the Grocery store I go to they only had the corned small ones or fresh small ones. All less than 3 lbs. I can order one though. I started taking pics for a Qview last...

    At first I didn't success should I try again.

    Thanks for the pep talk guys. I was bit frustrated about it but I should have known better since it was thin on fat if any at all and corned but I had to give it a go. I like the go big or go home thing. I think I will go home.. J/K. Big it is. I will try to find a 8 lber for the next go round...

    At first I didn't success should I try again.

    I smoked my first Brisket last night. It was a spur of the moment thing at the supermarket. I was eyeing up butts for this weekend and seen a small brisket. I've been wanting to try brisket. I thought a 2.5 lb brisket(flat) should take 3-4 hours so no prob. Well it took 5 hours and it was not...
