    Maybe in the market for a new grill/smoker

    All, I have a MES 30 electric smoker now and a four burner stainless grill.  My grill is going on 10 years old and after numerous repairs I am down to 2 somewhat working burners.  I am debating about what to replace it with.  I don't smoke but maybe once every 6 weeks as I have two small kids...

    Maverick ET-733 thread

    The probes on these Maverick ET thermos are garbage. I have now been through 2 in just over a yr. there has to be a design flaw here with that joint that allows water in and shorts so easily.

    3 Butts on MES 30

    Thanks all.  I plan on putting rub on shortly and putting in the smoker early in the morning.  Does anyone have a homemade rub recipe they really like?  I like paprika, garlic, salt, pepper, brown sugar, mustard, and thyme in most of mine.

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    The best question hasn't been asked yet.  When will they mark down the 2011 MES units?  Lowes has the MES 30 for $149 now.  If it hits $100 I'm all over it.

    Trying to decide on which smoker

    I take back my prior statement.  I would probably prefer gas or electric.  I have looked at the WSMs before and I might do charcoal in the future.  Even thought about investing in a Green Egg eventually if I get hooked on smoking.
