    temp trouble with mes 40

    I ordered the maverick double probe Saturday. So you use one probe for box or mes temp and the otherfor the meat? Am I correct on that. And don't worry about what the LCD says on the box

    temp trouble with mes 40

    Should the mes probe read the same as the temp on the LCD ..example if I set the temp to cook at at 200 when the mes reaches 200 should the meat probe read 200 also if the temps are correct. I belive the probe is correct but I think the smoker temp is off. I checked the meat probe with another...

    where did i go wrong with beef sticks

    Is there a certain brand probe that is good for that.if if I put the probe in the middle I want it to read close to what it says on the outside LCD screen. If they don't should I ajust the smoker temperatures on the outside to meet way it says on the inside?

    where did i go wrong with beef sticks

    Is it ok to use the meat probe that came with the mes 40. Or should I use the digital I have. why would there be such a difference in temp from what it said on the display compared to when I used the digital in the vent hole.

    where did i go wrong with beef sticks

    That was another question. My thermometeron the smoker read 170 and I have digital that you stick in the meat read 150 about a 20* differ. When I stuck it in the vent hole. I do not use a water pan. I did crack the door open little and that took some of it away

    I got a lot of fat pockets in my sticks today when I was smoking them. What would have caused this. I use a mes 40. Hang the sticks from dial rods I made a plate to cover the heat box so the right side would not get done to quick. I start out at 130* to dry the casings for 1hr and then bump...
