    tackling a Fresh "Ham" shank??? Need expert advise

    I have smoked pork, beef, etc. I was given a paper bag labeled "HAM SHANK". I pulled it out of the freezer and thawed in the fridge. Pulled it out expecting a cured ham and dang if it isn't a raw pork shank. Never done one of those and a search of the site leads me to believe most others...

    Packing the MES-Any experience?

    My 9 picnics are done and I survived I started around 1:30 PM. It took estimated/approximately 13-16 hours With some coming out earlier due to size, location in MES. I did rotate racks once. I did note the ones on the left took longer (16 hrs max for 2 of them) so I theorize it is slightly...

    Packing the MES-Any experience?

    I have an manual Acurite meat thermometer I just stuck in a picnic in the middle rack to track internal meat temp. One benefit I discovered in packing it full is that when you quickly open and close the door (to install the thermometer). the oven temp doesn't change one bit. lol. Better than...

    Packing the MES-Any experience?

    Using the 40" Sam's club MES. It is at 190 degrees now at 3 hrs 45 minutes but should rise quicker as it goes on. They were all frozen solid in deep freeze last night. I set them out on counter over night. They were thawed but pretty cold when I started at 1:30. It is smoking the chips so...

    MES 40" cleanup

    Cleaning up after my first smoke with the MES I was wondering if you guys use wrap foil around the drip pan/water pan for easy cleanup. I recall they said no foil on the racks as that prohibits smoke and heat circulation so is understandable.

    didn't work. I will leave unpluged till morning and give them a call. I assume when you push and hold the meat button a temp is shown. I just show dashes.

    Reset? How?... never mind. Found it and I still get the dashes when pressing the meat thermometer.

    Can't see MES display in bright sunlight

    I find a screened in deck works just as well. I didn't know the display was an issue as it is nice and bright in the shade. The ceiling fan dispenses the smoke too

    That doesn't say much other than they switched factories and they didn't have 100% failure from the old factory. They only have a 90 day warranty but perhaps they indicate here that if there is a failure they will attempt to work something out.

    My lines are horizontal. Hmmmm. Well if it kicks the bucket I will probably be returning it for a Cookshack.

    Hard to beat the Sam's Club Masterbuilt?

    I picked up one today with the three year extend warranty. If it goes bad prematurely I will at least be protected. I just didn't have the cash to go with the 1400 CookShack and wanted the space the 40" provides. I have read here that they apparently recommend a break-in time before cooking...

    Hard to beat the Sam's Club Masterbuilt?

    I have an electric Gourmet Brinkmann I have used for the past couple of years. It has gotten to the point I am getting custom jobs from board members, friends, etc. I wanted to upgrade and after looking at gas vs electric I still am sticking with electric due to high gas use vs electric. I...
