    Extreme cold and windy weather questions

    First smoke on the Camp Chef and it’s 4degrees here. I used a packing blanket on the lid and the temps are holding between 215-240 degrees. I know some folks swear by the welders blankets to hold in heat as well. Good luck!

    Cleaning MES 40

    Best way to clean the window that I've found: Get a Magic Eraser and a bowl of warm water.  Put the Eraser in the water and don't wring it out.  Use the Eraser on the window and it comes right off!  No vinegar or anything required!!  It's a little messy, but cleans up pretty quick.  I leave the...

    Maverick 733 & MES 40

    Got my new Maverick yesterday and did a butt overnight. There seems to be a 30 degree difference between the MES and Maverick (733 reads lower). Has anyone else experienced this?? Meat probe is only 3 degrees off. Probe is clipped right next to the meat.

    First Poultry Smoke in MES

    Great looking bird!!  I put my AMNPS all the way on the bottom to the left (as your looking at it) of the heating element right under the drip pan.  I've smoked just about everything in my 40" MES and have had ZERO problems with the AMNPS in that spot.  Just a suggestion.

    MES 40 Rack Question

    Hey everyone!  I had a question about the racks in the MES 40.  Most of the post have you put the meat on the top two racks.  Can you cook on all five racks?  If so, do you have to rotate the racks for even cooking?  Just curios
