Bought a 10 lb brisket, and separated the point and flat to better fit in pans, but ended up not using the pans. Does anyone else separate them, and what is the disadvantage of doing it that way. Also, my brisket seemed thinner than I would like, so I guess it'll be done quicker.

i set up my new MES 40 today,  and noticed that the vent did'nt close all the way. Is that normal?  otherwise,  it seemed to operate ok.  

About to order an amps for a MES 40 that I'll pick up this weekend, and was wondering what the "dust" was for? When would you use that instead of the pellets?

Looking for the 2.5 Gen 40",  but only one I have locally is the painted cabinet one from Sam's for $329.  Has a Stainless Steel door and legs/wheels,  but would like a full SS box.  Is it worth it?  Could probably get one somewhere else for another $100 without stand/wheels.  What do you think?

Looking at the MES 40".  I know some have the window to see the meat.  Wouldn't it just soot up after a few uses?  I would like an all stainless one,  but not sure about the window.  Any thoughts?

I'm going to make the finishing sauce for the first time tomorrow, for some PP. Do you use it warm? And, will it keep for a few days in the frig?

I'm sick of the cold! I got a Char-Griller Duo for Christmas, and have only used it once. I did a slab of ribs, 3-2-1 method on Christmas eve, and they turned out great. It was cold (30's) and windy, and I had a hard time initially getting the temps up. When I finally decided I needed to...

Hey guys, I've got my first try at a smoke going. I rubbed down two slabs of spare ribs, wrapped them in saran wrap overnight, and am smoking now. It took me forever to get the temps up to 225. The Char-griller's little charcoal basket doesn't hold much, and on top of that I only filled...

I just got this for Christmas(early), and have not cooked on it yet, but I have seasoned it. I will probably get around to doing some mods on it, but will wait until I have done a few smokes with it first. I love this site, and am still reading great info. There is so MUCH info, that it...

Just wanted to say howdy from East Texas. Been using a gas grill for about 15 yrs. Before that I used an ole Cajun Cooker I believe it was called - an upright thing with a water pan. Wife just let me pick up a "Chargriller Duo" for a Christmas present. I hope she lets me use it before...
