    binders

    Just got done rubbing some ribs for dinner and I changed the binder. Normally I use mustard as I assume a lot of members also do. Although I have heard that the binder is largely inert, I have used oil in the past on pork and didnt like it, so there does seem to be a difference. Today I...

    Mustard or oil

    What do you all use as the glue to hold your rub. I have always used mustard but yesterday I tried olive oil and the result was possible the worse rack of ribs that I have smoked. I hope that was the cause and not that I possibly omitted an ingredient from my rub as I make my rub in bulk then...

    pellets going out, or barely smoking.

    I have a AMNPS for my masterbuilt and have successfully used it for years. Recently I upgraded my units controller to an Auber and since then (possibly coincidence) my pellets seem to not smoke much, if at all. I used to get about 4 hours per row on the AMNPS, which is typical, now I am lucky...

    windy, need plan b

    Yesterday I pulled a slab of BB ribs with intentions of smoking them today. Well the wind really picked up and the temperature dropped and now it seems like smoking may be out. What are some non smoking options with these ribs? I am sure I could still smoke them but I dont think it would be...

    auber PID vs ink bird

    This morning is the first time using my new auber PID. I reset the controller to P2 I0 D0, as smarter minds then mine on this site have similar settings. My first observation is wow this masterbuilt 30" smoker has huge temperature differences within the box! while heating up, my ink bird and...

    safety roll switch

    So my MES30 has a safety roll switch that opens at 150C. which is just over 300F. since I am installing a auber PID do people commonly replace that switch with one that opens at a higher temp? Say 400F? I like the idea of having the switch in place but also want to get the most use out of this...

    PID and heating element?

    I have a MES 30 smoker and have been toying with the idea of a PID controller. I dont need to be sold on the need for the PID as I am familiar with masterbuilts faults. My question is a lot of people (generally everyone) recommends a Auber PID with a much higher wattage rating than what my...

    PID sale?

    do the recommenced replacement PID for a masterbuilt smoker ever go on sale? Kinda tuff to spend 150$ on a 150$ smoker.

    masterbuilt blames A-MAZE-N for dead unit.

    This is now my second MES30 both of which have died the same tragic death. They just turn themselves off. After my first smoker I really babied my second one. Always kept inside when not in use. I read that a possible culprit was damage to the heating element from removing the chip tray to...
