    HElp with MES 40 thermostat

    Last week I tried to smoke a small (3.7 lb) pork shoulder, and after 7 hours it was still 130, ended up having to trash it. Today I did some ribs, 2-2-1, and when I pulled them out they didn't look right.  Temp was 120. I'm testing now with a masterforge thermostat, and it is reading about 185...

    Baby Back Ribs! Coated with Jeff's Rub (minus one ingredient I didn't have): Into the virgin smoker: Thinking about throwing some Italian sausage in there for about 3 hours, some potatoes the last hour or so, and maybe some corn on the cob, not sure how long for that though.  Toss...

    MES 40' chip loader small?

    Hi, I just got my first smoker, the MES 40" on recommendation from a friend.  But when he was showing me some basic stuff, he noted that my chip loader and pan are "cut in half.  Here's what I mean: Apparently his doesn't have that welded block cutting it in half.  The pan the chips go into...

    Aloha

    Greetings from Hawaii! I'm brand new to smoking here.  I love cooking, and some grilling, but never took the dive into smoking.  Been wanting to try it but seemed like a bit too much work and expense for something I'm not sure would be a huge hit with the family.  But memories of tailgating and...
