    MES 30 Digital to PID

    So the display on my smoke box went all wonky. Looked like hieroglyphics. Guess it got wet. Anyway, found a placement here..https://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/gasgrillparts/masterbuilt/20078715.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgrWWtZr44wIVBYbICh2oFA4GEAAYAiAAEgKM9fD_BwE.. But as long as I was going to...

    PID Controller?

    Hey All, My MES Digital 30`s display took a deep dive. Numbers went all wonky so you can`t read them. Looked up the replacement and it`ll be around $50 all in. My question is, for that money would I be better off cobbing together a PID control system? What`s your experience with PIDs? Units you...

    CSR`s Still Not Getting There..

    I`ve done CSRs in the Masterbuilt 30 about 5 times now and gone from UGH to not too bad... I`ve pulled at a 170 IT, no foiling and they sucked badly. I`ve pulled at 180 IT, no foiling and they sucked, not as badly.. This last time I pulled them at 170 IT, foiled and ran them up to 180 IT and...

    Super Simple Mailbox Mod for MES 30

    2-----3 inch adjustable elbows and a mailbox. Oh, OK, I used a couple of screw clamps as well. Not a single thing was done to the MES except take out the chip loader and the chip tray. The 3 inch elbow fits nice and snug in the chip loader hole. No need for any caulking or sealing of any...

    Santa Wanted Some "Q"

    So the household Santa`s Helpers went and got me a MES 30, Digital Guess they decided Scrumptioulicious Ribs weren`t enough anymore and wanted some decent "Q" from other parts of the PIG, as well as any other critter meat that goes on sale. That old Brinkmann Electric could put out some ribs...

    Treating Chops Like Ribs?

    I`ve looked and searched and looked some more, with no luck.. I`ve been kicking an idea around in that empty space between my ears about chops. Since pork has been at pretty decent prices lately, we`ve been loading up on it. Nice, thick, bone in or boneless chops have hit grill, smoker, and...

    Ash or Charcoal?????

    I`m not sure if I have ever seen this questioned. When I`ve finished my smoke, sometimes I end up with what looks all the world like charcoal and sometimes just ash. Most all the chips I use to get the smoke rolling become ash, but with the chunks used after initial smoke generation, sometimes...

    Chuck Roast Burnt Ends?

    Just wondered if anyone chopped up a chuck roast to turn the whole thing into "burnt ends"? The thought popped into me tiny brain and in a moment of clarity, thought I`d ask before chopping up a perfectly decent hunk of meat and bringing the wrath of the boss on my head.

    Side Burner??

    Might be the wrong place for my question, but I`ll ask here anyway. Has anyone ever taken the side burner off of a gas grill and used it as the heat source for a smoker? My last 3 grills have all come with a side burner that I have never used. My grills were never so far from the kitchen that...

    Masterbuilt Dual or Not?

    Here`s the question I`ve been looking at the Masterbuilt Dual Fuel box and really liking what I`ve seen and read. Everything would have been a done deal--UNTIL--I saw a pretty decent deal on a Masterbuilt dual door propane only box. I`m seeing not much difference between the 2 units, but...

    Rib Rack=Dry Ribs???

    After a really good smoke on some spare ribs, the BOSS brought home some baby backs. So I`m really jazzed. Go forth and smoke says she. No problem, I got this says me. Because of the limited grill space, I`ll use a Rib Rack I`m thinking. Long sad story short..they came out dry. She was not...

    Spatchcock or Beer Can????

    Going for a really good whole chicken smoke and thought I`d run it by you folk. Never done either way and I`m sure each way has it`s merits, but which gives me the best chance at a home run-Spatchcock or Beer Can???? Ball park time @ 220-250?? I`ve done thighs with apple wood and they were...

    Spare Rib Sucess

    Woooo Hoooooooo, First really good smoke. Used the 2-2-1 method and it turned out just as they all said it would. My Elecrtic ECB did it`s thing and did it quite well. The only thing I would want to change is the very outside layer was on the dry side and you couldn`t get a nice clean bite...

    Success at Last

    After a somewhat rocky start, my first successful spare rib smoke... Did the 2-2-1 method and it worked like a champ. Not sure I would change anything, except maybe keeping a better eye on the water pan, since it was empty at the end. Most and full of flavor. Just wish I didn`t have to...

    To Vent or Not to Vent-That is the Question

    Never one to just leave things alone when you can experiment.. I`ve got some rope gasket on it`s way to fill the gap between lid and body of my  EEEEEEElectrical ECB. QUESTION- Will I need to vent the lid? I`m thinking yes, probably..but then again..that bit of gasket isn`t really going to...

    Electric ECB

     all you Masterbuilt Smokers. FNG here with my used 5 times, so far, Brinkmann. Did a search for others like me and came up pretty dry on posts. Am I alone out here? I`ve got a of question I think y`all could answer, cause I`m thinking many have had one of these in your past, or still have...
