    Cleaning Tips for the MES

    Ok, I've decided it's time for a good cleaning of my MES. I got over anxious when I first got it, and did several smokes before I read about things like wrapping the trays and such with foil to help with cleanup. So my smoker is in need of a good Spring cleaning. So I thought a cleaning thread...

    Electric Smoker Help Needed

    I've had my MES 40 for almost a year now. Bought it at Sam's for $299. Mine has worked flawlessly, but can't speak for all of them. But based on how mine has performed so far, I can recommend it for an electric.

    Corned beef... A little experimenting

    Looking good so far!  Be sure to let us know how it turns out, and what you think. I've been wondering about a corned beef myself, so I have a particular interest.

    Newbie smoke questions for the MES 40

    Good advise..thanks.  Wonder why the cherry gives you problems? Is it just a 'wetter' wood?  I have some cherry chips, but mostly I use hickory, but also have some apple. Just curious.

    Newbie smoke questions for the MES 40

    Thanks again Bear. I definitely want a Maverick. One of my next few purchases for sure.  Do you have any air flow issues with your AMNPS in the MES? I've read about some people having problems keeping the pellets going. I do have the 2nd gen with the side vent.  Any suggestions you might could...

    Newbie smoke questions for the MES 40

    Thanks for the response and the advise, Bear. I think AMNS or AMNPS is my answer, as far as the smoke goes. I want to get a stick burner later, but since the wife bought the MES for me as a gift, I think I better get my use out of it for awhile, if I know what's good for me!  lol Actually...

    Newbie smoke questions for the MES 40

    I'm still new to smoking, and am trying to learn as I go. I have some general questions that I hope some of you MES experts can help me with. I'm using wood chips, so all my questions relate to those. I may look at getting an AMNPS later, but for now want to use the supply of chips I have. My...

    Not happy with my new MES 40

    What they said /|\. I have the MES 40 also. Still pretty new to it, but have done some good butts with it. While the bark won't be as good as a stick burner, you can get a decent one and some good smoke infusion if you experiment with the rub (if you use one) and the chips. I've read a lot about...
