    Electric vs Gas

    I have an analog 30inch smoke house smoker it is double walled (no insulation) and yes I am newbie but I do have some input take it or leave it. 1 this model has a 1500w element which I feel makes up for the lack of insulation and it has good recovery time 2 not sure what the max temp on it is...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I have an 30 inch analog with legs and a 1500w element.so far so good.The only PITA is you have to open it up to add chips but it seems to recover pretty quickly.

    First try at summer sausage

     The ice bath stops the cooking process.the water pan just helps keep the temps stable.

    new MES somker

    I was just wondering because I see some folks upgrading 2 a 1200 watt element.I really do not think mine will get up to 275f.and would be a lot more sensitive to outside temps.I have used it only a few times.
