    I have the gen II some people do and some don't. I think I used to much lump Charcoal. After 2 hours of smokin' I wrapped meat in foil and took out the chip bin, the lump coal was cherry red and I think this caused my chips to smoke faster, next smoke I'll try with no lump.  Anyway took a taste...

    I just used enough to coat the bottom. Added more chips at about 40 min into the smoke, It's starting to smoke a little more than I'd like so I might add just a bit more pea gravel on the next smoke.

    About 15 min into the smoke. I used some lump with soaked chips. Not much meat in it seeing its the first one, just to become one with my smoker.

    Well I'm smokin' and it looks like the pea gravel did the trick, took a little longer to start smokin' but now getting a good smoke, TBS. We'll see how it goes, I see about adding some pics'

    I though about that too but I'd like to try to get the chips to work, I have a bunch of chips and to see if it works I have a bunch lump charcoal that I might try to see if I can get that smoke ring. Huh, did a search before I submitted and found this...

    Well I got to the point of adding some chip in the pre-seasoning procedure  and mine did like yours, smokin' like the Bandit. I don't have sand but I do have some pea gravel. I'm thinking the chips right on the metal of the pan is whats doing it. So after the seasoning I'll let it cool down and...

    I hear what your saying, I did a lot of reading before I bought mine. Its a gen 2 and I was ready for the flaws. I like the challenge I just hope mine keeps reading low. If I have to many problems I might make an external box for the smoke. I've seen a few mods on here and YouTube so I have a...

    I'm guessing you are seeing it worked the first few times but Are you setting it 15°F less than what you want. Mines reading 60°F lower than what it actually is. So if I want to the cabinet temp at 250°F then I'll set it around 190°F. Also I think I read somewhere to put some sand in the Square...

    Well I picked it up, Pre-seasoning it now.  Anyone know where the sensor is for the box? I have a thermometer on the 2nd to the bottom Shelf  close to a what looks like button on the back right and its reading 300°F while the display reads 240°F. Looks like I have a good one that reads low. I...

    Getting ready to get an MES 40 gen II and a Maverick ET-733 temp probe (or two). A couple years ago I got a Grillpro Propane Cabinet Smoker and I’m in a windy area and have problems keeping the thing lit for low and slow so I’m hoping this smoker will work well despite some of the flaws. I'll be...
