I bought one a few years ago thru Amazon 7-17-2018. At that time they offer an extended warranty (I believe a rep was on this site). A probe failed, how do I contact them?
Merry Christmas to all.
I was given some roasts and various cuts (about 5#) and after several rinses it was still very bloody. I have it marinating in some Backwoods Jerky seasoning Teriyaki. I haven't made jerky in decades let alone used venison. I have a MES 30.
The meat looks nice and lean but the blood has...
I bought this in 2018 and only used it about 25 times with no issue until yesterday. Had a small pork tenderloin going fine at 225 deg. using hickory dust in my ANMPS tray. I had my Therm Pro plugged in and when the meat probe hit 140 deg I noticed the temp started to drop and the red light...
This is kind of a two part situation. A friend gave me some Pit Boss apple pellets to use in my AMNPS so I converted them to dust to use with my first cheese smoke (MES 30). They burned fine so in the mean time I wrote to Pit Boss and asked what these apple pellets were made of. Their reply...
I have an MES 30 with the AMNPS tray. I have never used dust for smoking but the past week I have been making dust from some of my pellet supply using the water method. When do some of you choose to use the dust over the pellets? And what is the reasoning.
I live in N.E. Ohio.
I have the 8 X 5-1/2" tray and after two and a half hours I checked the ribs and the pellets must have gone out soon after I put the tray in. I do cover the tray with a foil pan to prevent grease from dripping on the pellets. The thin blue smoke was there but it must of been burn off or...
The last few times I used my MES 230G, I preheated to 275 then after putting the meat in I reset to the temp I wanted to smoke (225) I figured it would get back up to the 225 quicker once the door was opened and the cold meat was put it.
Seems to being working fine that way. I do use the...
For some reason the Bluetooth wont connect today on my MES 230G its only a few months old. It worked in the past. Standing right in front of it. I have heard this app has connection issues.
I even uninstalled and reinstalled but no luck. Any ideas?
DAM........... I had a senior moment. I...
I'm planning on doing our turkey on Friday instead of Thanksgiving. It's a 17# Butterball that came brined with 8% sodium. Would it be a mistake to inject with Tony Chachere's Creole style Butter 14% sodium?
This is my first attempt at doing a turkey on my MES 30 and I dont want to create a...
Since the weather here is changing (N.E.Ohio) I wanted to get a cover for my new Masterbuilt MES 230G. I found out about this brand of cover on this forum so I order one. This is one heavy duty, well made, waterproof cover at an amazing price. Found it thru home depots web page and included...
I was so impressed to see a recent post about the beef short ribs so I went to the butcher shop and this is what they gave me. Sure wasnt what I had in mind! Various thickness of the pieces. Really wanted a slab instead. $17 for 2# worth of pieces.
I have an MES-30 and the Amazen.
I have no...
I have been doing great using the 3-2-1 (225 deg) method of doing my ribs but the last two times I dont get the meat pulling back from the end of the bones like I have in the past. And they dont pull off the bone like before. I do use the Amnps with pellets and love it!
The biggest thing I...
Yesterday I got to try out my new AMNPS (competition blend pellets) I used the 3-2-1 method with a foil wrap for the 2 hr session. The pellet smoker sure is a game changer and it worked flawlessly. Nice to have a 3hr break from the OEM chip loader!
Dicks has a match price policy that includes any advertised price. I printed this out and they matched it on a 20# bag of Competition Blend Pellets. I read about this on an older post and it still applies.

I took an old heat register deflector and cut it down to fit length wise then sprayed it black on the inside. Not a perfect cover but it works and the magnetic base makes it easily removable. I dont use it in full sun but it helps with glare.
I got an MES 30 for Xmas and wanted to add the pellet smoker. I didnt want to have to spend $50 for free shipping so I just now got on line and did a search. I found Home Depot had it advertised for $21.64 plus tax and FREE SHIPPING to my door.
It come prefilled with Pitmasters Choice pellets.
When do you start counting the first 3 hours? Preheat to 225, add ribs and wait for the temp to come back up to225 then start timing the 3 hours?
