    MES 30 Mailbox Mod Pictures

    Hey All, Just wanted to post a few pictures of my MES 30 mailbox mod, which worked out GREAT!  I've smoked a couple of times now with this configuration and it's a billion times better.  Before I had the AMNPS on the rack next to the heating element, and it would cause the pellets to flare up...

    Both probes on Maverick ET-73 are 4+ degrees off

    So I smoked [destroyed] a brisket flat yesterday, came out over done and no good (I haven't made a good brisket yet though, still working on it, everything else I have made is good though).  During the crutch I saw the internal meat probe was climing pretty rapidly.  I saw it hit 200 and I knew...

    Couple of crutch/foiling related questions for brisket

    Hey All, Have a few crutching/foiling related questions when it comes to smoking Brisket: 1) How much liquid do you put in when crutching/foiling? 2) Do you drain the liquid off and re-wrap in foil when moving to a faux cambro/cooler, or do you leave it sitting in the crutching/foiling...

    Where do you put your smoker probe in MES 30?

    Hey All, Used my MES 30 a couple of times now, found out on my first smoke the internal probe is way off, so I'll be relying on my Maverick ET-73 for all smokes (should anyway). The other day I wanted to see how much the temperature varied from side to side on the same grate, and I found...

    New MES 30 temp differing by 20 degrees

    Hi All, Got a MES 30 for Christmas, seasoned it yesterday, doing a small butt today. I'm using my Maverick thermo to see how accurate the built in probe is, and I'm see a consistent temperature difference of about 20 degrees. Have the smoker set at 225,and I'm about 2 hours in, but the...

    First post, picture of rig, and questions about maintaining temps

    Hi All, I'm new to the forum, and new to smoking meat. :)  My wife got me a CharBroil American Gourmet (the cheap one, not the Deluxe) smoker for Christmas.  So far I've done 3 smokes, 2 with Boston Butt (boneless) and 1 with St Lois Cut Ribs.  The pulled pork has been OK, but tough, I haven't...
