    1st run at the ribs in my MES 30.

    Ok so they are finished.  I brushed them with BBQ with 30 minutes left.  I actually believe the meat was ready after the 2-2 and didn't need the last hour to complete the 2-2-1.  I went ahead and pulled two small pieces out at that mark and let the two large racks cook for the final hour (more...

    1st run at the ribs in my MES 30.

    You are right, I confused the two.  I meant sauce.  I wish I would have thought to mop these. Thanks

    1st run at the ribs in my MES 30.

    That makes sense.  I am seeing a lot of ash. I did leave some chips in the loader as one of the members suggested and they were more like lump charcoal as opposed to the chips that were in the tray which turned to ash... Interesting.

    1st run at the ribs in my MES 30.

    Thanks for the response.   Using chips is definitely trial and error and baby sitting as Al stated.  Todd's device can't get here soon enough, but I will have fun with the chips until it does.  Getting ready to pull them out.  I would say for the first two hours I had a about 45-60 minutes of...

    1st run at the ribs in my MES 30.

    Thanks for the response.  I am really going the Amazen pellet smoker box for the MES.  I am hearing too many good things about it. Sounds like you can get the smoke going on it and then put it in your smoker and not worry about it anymore. The ribs are going.  I may have added to much wood the...

    1st run at the ribs in my MES 30.

    Ribs are in, unfortunately everything didn't go as planned but I think I may be ok. After leaving the MES 30 at 275 for about 45 minutes with water in the dripping pan, I reset the temperature to 225 and then went ahead and added my chips. I didn't get smoke at first with the chips but I...

    Do you need to soak the chips prior to using in an electric smoker?

    I got good smoke last night but probably too much.  I will be using less wood this morning for my ribs.  Am going to look into the Amazen pellet smoker Todd makes.  Thanks for replying.

    Do you need to soak the chips prior to using in an electric smoker?

    Thanks everyone. I went ahead and did a dry run last night on some burgers to help learn the smoker.  Got a lot of smoke without soaking.  I think I used to much wood.  I filled the loader to the max.  I am getting ready to do some ribs this morning.  I posted a separate thread with my progress...

    1st run at the ribs in my MES 30.

    Got the MES 30 yesterday.  Seasoned it per the instructions,  smoked some burgers afterwards just to get some meat in there and run another smoke. This morning I have wiped it down (not a deep clean but thorough), cleaned the drip pan, rinsed out the wood trip tray and dried, cleaned the...

    Do you need to soak the chips prior to using in an electric smoker?

    I have a MES 30.  Was wondering if I should soak the chips or can I just put them in and get them smoking. THanks
