    Hi all Frank here from Central CT! About 2(?) months ago, after trying ribs and brisket my nephew made in his MES, I picked up my own MES (the model with the electric thermostat on top) and dove into smoking. So far I've had modest ( at best .... but I' my own worst critic) success with baby...
