    3-2-1 ribs in my MES

Rubbed them down with some grey poupon and the dry rub listed below. I've found this to be a good all around rub. The Chipotle gives just a little heat and a...

    To clean or not to clean

    I am pretty new to smoking and just got a MES 40" electric smoker. With my old offset stick smoker I just brushed off the grates and vacuumed out the dust and I was ready to go for the next smoke. The instructions with MES say that I should pull all the racks out and basically scrub it clean...
