    Smokin-It Smoker Temperature

    You can always get a pid.  This will keep the temp swing to 5 deg, possibly less.  Best investment besides the amnps i have made for my mes electric.

    MES40 temps at 4 locations

    Search for "mes tile" which has been successful for some people to even out the temps.

    Habanero death dust wings

    Thanks.  I thought the death dust was a homemade rub, didn't realize its a commercial rub.  The hotter the better for me so i may have to buy some of this death dust to go with my habanero wing sauce i generally make.

    At home with the flu, figured I'd get some smoking done

    With a lean piece of meat like that there is no need for the low and slow method.  Crank the mes to 275 next time and pull when internal temp hits 160-165.

    Help with 9lb pork butt

    Depends as all butt's cook a bit differently.  Are you going to foil at all?  What type of smoker?  90 min or so per pound would be a rough estimate.

    Gonna smoke my first butt (UPDATED WITH QVIEW)

    What are you using to monitor bbq and meat temps?  8.5 Hours for an 8.5 lb butt is really on the short end.  You may have been cooking at a higher temp then you think.

    MES 40 - Troubleshoot cause of temp reading on display higher than actual temps

    Probably not worth the hassle.  The replacement is likely to have the same exact issue.

    How To Bypass Controller On Mes 30 Digital?

    I thought about the dual probe model from Auberin but i really like the wireless monitoring the mav 732 provides me so i decided i will still use the mav probes for meat and to check temp in additional areas of the smoker beyod the pid probe.

    How To Bypass Controller On Mes 30 Digital?

    I didn't have much time to play with the pid last night as it was getting late once i finished everything up but i can say you will absolutely love the accurate control it provides vs the stock controller.  Which model pid did you order?

    How To Bypass Controller On Mes 30 Digital?

    I tried this mod originally and it only had a slight effect on balancing out the temp.  It seemed the heat would still come up the right side before reaching the tunnel.  The tile so far has worked better for me.  Im using 4 qty 5x5 unglazed quarry tiles wrapped a few times in heavy duty...

    How To Bypass Controller On Mes 30 Digital?

    I have no use for the timer or temp readout on the mes controller as the pid and my mav 732 now handle all i need.

    How To Bypass Controller On Mes 30 Digital?

    I finished auto tune last night and the pid would keep the temps + or - 3 deg of where i had it set after the tune was finished.  I dont believe the pid reduces wattage to the element but when close to set temp it will pulse the element on and off at times rapidly when needed to keep the set...

    Is anybody using an amnps successfully with their smokin-it?  Here is a thread with a mod that should help air flow for the amnps.  Has anybody tried this mod?  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/126290/amnps-mod-for-smokintex-and-smokin-it-smokers

    AMNPS Mod for SmokinTex and SMOKIN-IT Smokers

    I currently have a mes 30 with amnps and im intrigued by the smokin-it.  I love my amnps and would not want to give it up.  Hopefully this mod continues to work and evolve as it seems a working amnps with a smokin-it is a killer combo!
