    MES-40 Model 20070512 Temperature Problems

    I sent an email on 9/19. Then I got busy. Never did a follow up or push for a reply. I think I'm going to be pleased with the WSD from Auber.  I had a MES-30 I loved except when I tried to do brisket. I like the wideness of the MES-40. I like the cross flow ... although I'm grooving on the...

    MES-40 Model 20070512 Temperature Problems

    I recently purchased a MES-40 Model 20070512 from Amazon.com  I mainly smoke pork butt, ribs, and brisket at 225F. My experience has been the smoker runs 25 Deg F less than the setpoint.  I use an iGrill with two probes. I checked the probes in boiling water. I live at 3000'. Probe 1 read 206...

    What is a "PID"???

    The two basic ways to control temperature to a set point. On-off control and continuous control. A great example of on-off control is the thermostat on your air conditioner. You set a temperature you want for the room. If the temperature gets far enough above the setpoint, a relay closes and...

    Moving from MES-30 to MES-40

    I'd call my MES-30 the in between generation. It has the window I don't bother cleaning (I smoke to temp, not looks) and the digital controller on top/rear with a remote. Door opens on the left. The "older" model had no window and an analog controller. The "new" generation has larger window and...

    Moving from MES-30 to MES-40

    Shot my mouth off and my son is taking my MES-30.  I've been reading the MES-40 threads.  1. I've calibrated my thermometers for profiling the new MES-40 when it arrives. 2. I'm planning to pull the water pan. I've never used the one in the MES-30, so I shouldn't miss it. Questions: 1...

    MES-30 accessory needed - 9x13x3 pan

    So the winner was  I used your suggestion, found the pan on the net, and when I knew what I wanted found it on Amazon. It will be here in time for the weekend smoke!

    MES-30 accessory needed - 9x13x3 pan

    That looks like the same one I posted from Amazon. The 1/2 bezel around the pan means it will be just a little to long to fit in the MES-30 unless I do some metal work. I can, but want to buy the answer if I can, not make the answer. However, I do see a nordic pan that might work.

    MES-30 accessory needed - 9x13x3 pan

    We've found a bean recipe we love to smoke: http://www.bbqu.net/recipes/305_2.html  We like to smoke this for 2 hours, then finish in a 350 oven to reduce the liquid. It completely fills a standard 9x13x2 cake pan. I started using an aluminum pan after the foil pan I was using collapsed and I...

    Memorial Day Pork Roast 2012

    Pops ... you called it. Excellent smoke! After about 5.5 hours in the smoker it looked like: Let it rest for a while, then "Oh boy! It's supper time!" Karol made a nice spinach / avocado / pear salad. I sautéed some mushrooms / onions and the meal looked like: Karol says...

    Memorial Day Pork Roast 2012

    So there I was walking past the meat counter and I heard ... "Hey Don. Wouldn't you like to smoke something for Memorial Day?" I spun around, but didn't see anyone. Then "Hey, stupid, down here. I'm a pork roast." Surely I'm not the only who hears things like this? Any way ... it looks like a...
