    MES 30 Gen1: Replace Control Panel and Heating Element

    Thanks...my anal retentive nature requires that I document everything I do around the house in what my son and wife say is "exhausting detail." ;-) I always enjoy write-ups others post, even if I'm never going to use them, so posting mine is a little bit of payback. I know, it's embarrassingly...

    MES 30 Gen1: Replace Control Panel and Heating Element

    Thanks! Yeah, I saw the info on the PID mod a day or so ago after things were already in motion, so I decided to let it ride for now. When things go south again (as I know they will) the PID approach will definitely be in my sights. The order was easy at the Masterbuilt site, and shipping was...

    MES 30 Gen1: Replace Control Panel and Heating Element

    I've got a Masterbuilt 30 Gen 1 w/RF, and had issues recently w/the control panel flaking out (turning off on its own, LEDs dying on the display). Also had temperature issues - the MES would not heat up to the temperarture I set on the control panel. I set 275, it goes to 255 or maybe 260...

    Poor man's caviar (but it's not caviar, and it's not what you think it is) - a family favorite

    @one eyed jack - Wow, that sounds like a great combination. I could live on garlic alone, if needed. Will try that the next time. Funny, ate this all my life and for some reason I've hardly ever modified the mix. I'm such a boring traditionalist... I grew up eating club crackers (and their...

    Lumber Jack Pellets

    Thanks...I filled out the form, which unfortunately does not have a way to say you're interested in an existing "one person needed" group buy, but I put that in the "notes" field. I only want two bags. Since I use a MES I will be seriously oversupplied w/those two on top of the one bag I...

    Lumber Jack Pellets

    @ryan miller @bigfurmn @bregent Can you clarify the meaning of the info below on the group buy page? "One person needed" - Does that mean one person who wants one 20lb bag of any pellet? Not sure how you can tell how much more, and of what, needs to be purchased if someone wants to join a...

    Need help to get lighter smoke flavor - Confirm which woods, and length of smoke changes?

    My bad, we had our first meal with the pork butt last night. my son fried it up in a pan to give it some nice crisp, and we had carnitas tacos with all the toppings it was fantastic and the wife was very happy. I am officially declaring victory. :emoji_thumbsup...

    Lumber Jack Pellets

    @dubob Re: Lumber Jack availability. Dicks Sporting Goods sells Lumber Jack pellets, in-store, and shipped. I got some Competition Blend at a local store this week, and they also had Oak, and I think they had one of the Char versions. At Dicks it was $14.99/20lb. They have more varieties...

    Simple Rosemary & Thyme Crusted Rack of Lamb

    Reminds me of the best rack of lamb I ever had at a restaurant years ago. Damn. Looks so good.

    Wait - have you met my family?! ;-)

    Need help to get lighter smoke flavor - Confirm which woods, and length of smoke changes?

    Yeah, thanks, I think that's going to be the right approach for us. Since my wife does like some smoke flavor, I think in the future I'll split the rack, and move hers to the oven, wrapped, at about 2 hours like you suggest. Then I can finish the rest of the rack for my son and I in the smoker...

    Need help to get lighter smoke flavor - Confirm which woods, and length of smoke changes?

    Thanks, Bear I appreciate that. The taste test will be later today, but based on my sampling I think she's going to be happy with this level of smoke. yeah regarding the tray, I did overfill it. When I was looking at it when I took it out I realized I'd been a little too generous. Man I'm...

    Woot! Pulled out of the smoker at 203 IT. Looks fabulous, smells fabulous, and jiggles in a wonderful way. :) Letting it rest a bit, time for an evening walk now that it's cooled down. Thanks VERY much @Bearcarver & @smokerjim for the feedback and support. Don't know what I would do w/out...

    New guy here.

    Welcome. My son's near you, all I need is your address and what time you go to sleep, and I'll have him come over and deal w/any leftovers. :) :) The PBC looks very cool. I was reading some of their info on their site and have determined that they have their priorities exactly right - see...

    Need help to get lighter smoke flavor - Confirm which woods, and length of smoke changes?

    Thanks, @Bearcarver, I'll follow that link. I wrapped in butcher paper at 165, it looked good, very similar to the pic I posted. It's up to 169 now. I took out the AMNPS...the smoke had jumped a row, going from the middle of the first row into the second just a little. Now I need to go make...

    Great. That was really helpful to look at both of those, thank you. I think I'm going to follow you down the path of your October 21 smoke. Our times and temperatures are very close so far. :emoji_thumbsup: Actuals: - Started at noon ○ IT 50 ○ Smoker 250-60-ish - 1:14...
