Hey folks - got a MES30. Never tried any poultry yet, but wanted to give a whole chicken a try. Started digging around as to what to do and have read a lot of issues with the MES producing rubbery skin because it can't get over 275F and I've read you need 325F to get decent skin. Is that right...

Folks - looking for some planning advice - or perhaps just affirmation! This Sunday I need to take around 13-14lbs (pre-cooked weight) of pulled pork to a party for 1pm. I was planning on cooking it the day before, for a couple of reasons; 1. I won't have time to get it all done by 1pm "day of"...

ok, so a couple of smokes and my probes for my thermometer are mostly black. Does that have a big impact on functionality? How do I clean them without damaging them? thanks, Matt

Folks - did my 2nd ever pulled pork yesterday, and it came out worse then my 1st! Looking for some help as to why... Here's the breakdown: 1st one: 4lb Picnic - removed skin, covered in mustard, then rub, then in fridge overnight. Put in smoker at 11am, wrapped in foil at 164F IT at 5pm, then I...

Folks, so my new MES 30" Gen 1 model is ready for pickup tomorrow. I've been reading through the forum using the search tool, and just have a few 'getting started' questions: 1. After I set it up, I understand I need to power it up to 275 degrees for 2hrs, and then throw in some wood chips for...

Where's the best place/pricing to pickup some A-MAZE-N pellets? I'd love to get them direct from their website, but their shipping costs to the West Coast basically double the price of the item, and the $49 threshold for free shipping is a bit steep for me. I see Home Depot has the free ship...

Hi Folks, So I have no experience in smoking other than the very occasional chip-stuffed aluminum pouch shoved into my gas grill! I have a love for ribs/brisket/pulled pork, and have decided for my birthday later this month, I’d like to get a smoker. After reading numerous online...
