    New Wi-Fi Smokin-It

    Glad I found this post since I wasn't aware that there will be a price hike with the new controller. and I was waiting for them to release expecting the same cost (hoping for is maybe more accurate?). Are they going to continue offering the prior design "D" models or only the wifi moving forward?

    Smokin-It to replace MES 30

    So, now I am just waiting for the newly released PID to ship on the 3D and I am pulling the trigger to order. I asked on their FB page but didn't get a response yet. Does anyone know if the new controller wifi will allow remote access of data? It would be great to be able to throw a smoke on and...

    Smokin-It to replace MES 30

    That's inspiring since my BB ribs were always awesome in the MES. I just hated the constant feeding of chips and babysitting. The AMazeN never stayed lit in it either. Maybe our humid air in S FL?

    Smokin-It to replace MES 30

    I guess I could always add an AMazeN if I needed a heavier smoke.

    Smokin-It to replace MES 30

    Well, shit, glad I mentioned it. Thanks for the insight! Does it make smoke for the whole cook? If not, how long does it?

    What is the max smoke time on the 3D without reloading wood? Let's say on a brisket.

    Smokin-It to replace MES 30

    Thanks! Do you run only the 4 racks it comes with or 5 racks? I understand the freebies are just that. I just have been waiting to maximize the purchase since I am already outside of my budget here. I know the cover and hooks have been on prior promos so that is why I was holding out to see...

    Smokin-It to replace MES 30

    So, believe it or not I am still trying to make a decision on a 3D. I was waiting for the right sale bonuses from Smokin-It to pull the trigger. I figure that Father's Day will present them. I don't care about a cutting board and their sauce. I want rib hooks, a cover and mat so hopefully those...

    Smokin-It to replace MES 30

    Thanks for all of the follow up. I am still on the fence because I am sold on the SI 3D, but that $! Anyway, I thought I would post a follow up of what I found when messing with the MES. 20180210_124634 by LandToSea posted Feb 23, 2018 at 11:19 AM

    Smokin-It to replace MES 30

    Thanks Bear, it looks like I currently have a broken Gen 2. Now I need to decide whether I buy an Auber controller etc listed above to repair it better than stock, or to just buy a Gen 2.5 40 if I go the MES route again instead of the SmokinIt. Is the MES 40 Gen 2.5 still limited to 275*...

    Smokin-It to replace MES 30

    Ya, unfortunately it got really weathered this past year while we did renovations. Other things took priority in the garage and under the covered patio. It was under a pop tent for a while and then that fell apart so it was outside in the elements for months at the least. I should have just...

    Smokin-It to replace MES 30

    Good to know on the current version Bearcarver, thanks! Assuming Gen 2 may still be flaoting around in some vendor's inventory I will need to look up how to tell the difference from Gen 2.5. Is the current 40 good or still problematic? It appears there are currently five 30" and three 40"...

    Smokin-It to replace MES 30

    Wow, tallbm, this is awesome info, much thanks! My MES isn't in great condition, some exterior surface rust from being outside in FL humidity and dew for years. That is the only reason I would be hesitant to invest $200. Also, the seal will need replacement soon since it is starting to leak...

    Smokin-It to replace MES 30

    After 4 years my MES 30 is dead. The plastic cover for the electronic control board de-laminated and peeled off and I think moisture got into the electronics. Every time I plug it in it throws a breaker in my fuse panel. I like the MES and am not completely decided about not repurchasing...

    Question- Smoking time for a Turkey

    This came out great, best turkey everyone here has ever had! The breast was ready in 4 hours at 275* in the MES and legs took about 2 hours. The only improvement I can see being made is pulling it early to finish in the oven to crisp the skin more. It was edible, but not super crispy...

    Question- Smoking time for a Turkey

    I am giving your method a try tomorrow in my MES 30. I just cut the 25lb bird up per the video. Great tips in there! I coated it with a Williams Sonoma dry rub and bagged it into the fridge until tomorrow morning. The gravy is under way with the trimmings plus veges now so i can let it cool and...

    Moldy wood chips

    I just rolled with it since I couldn't get replacement chips while mid hot smoke. I have pretty high test results for reaction to most molds which I take daily sinus spray to control symptoms for. I ate a bunch and no reaction. Everyone else seems fine. I did torch the remaining batches of chips...

    Candied Salmon

    Thanks for the guide! It is a bit of work but the results are amazing! I just did 10 lbs of coho for my first attempt ever making this or even cold smoking fish. I am in S FL and temps are about 85* so I added an ice pack and it maintained ambient temps around 85* with the A-Maze-N burning. I...
