    Thermpro TP-20

    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.

    Venison for jerky

    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...

    Master Built 230 digital- heat issue

    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...

    Pit Boss and Lumber Jack pellets for use in MES 30 with AMNPS

    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...

    Dust or Pellets

    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.

    Pellets went out

    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...

    Pre heating MES 30

    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...

    To inject or not, first turkey

    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...

    BEEF SHORT RIBS

    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...

    MES 30 and Baby Back situation

    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...

    BABY BACKS AND AMNPS IN MES 30

    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!

    MES 30 cheap sun shield build

    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.
