    No smoke in MES-40

    The MES-40 is set up differently than the MES-30 then. From the attached photo, you can see the heating element, and then the lip(s) that the chip tray slides over when inserted. The vertical height of the lip(s), make's for about 1/2" or so from heating element to chips. Note: I've never had...

    No smoke in MES-40

    I've had the unit for about 8 months, and followed Delta Dude's instructions for pre-heat, and getting chips started.  The unit has always performed. So, recently I moved, and the movers took care of all the heavy stuff... When I went to use the MES for the first time since the move, I did my...

    Pecan wood igniting in MES

    I have one of the newer MES 40 units, and smoke primarily with Pecan chips, vent 100% open. Normally smoke temp set 225-230, and never have had major chip ignite issues of the magnitude you are describing. One thing I do notice is the size of your chip, compared to what I've been using...

    In Honor of Scarbelly

    @JP61, even if you over stuff, I figured doing the "Plastic Wrap" Twirl, would sort things out! :)  I was amazed how well that chubbed the fattie up, as mine looked long and skinny before the "Twirl"

    In Honor of Scarbelly

    Did my first Fatties over the weekend also!  I had done some reading, and kept both my sausage one, and burger one to 1lb chubs, and kept the stuffing to a minimum.  I'm not a big bacon or sausage person, but the other taste testers gave them a thumb's up.  I did sauteed...

    Dutch's "Wicked Baked Beans"

    12X9 or a deep 9X9 aluminum baking pan. I prefer the 9x9 deep, as they are stronger to hold the weight without flexing as much.

    Dutch's "Wicked Baked Beans"

    Fatties and Beans = YUM! I agree about draining the beans, I didn't drain the first batch I tried. Still came out great, but I like 'em thick also. Good Looking Fattie!

    MES 40 - % of Smoke Session to add chips

    Thanks Mike! I've done some reading on the AMNPS, and may try it out in the near future. But, just getting started with smoking, I wanted to keep my first few smokes to a completely stock MES setup..  I may have exaggerated a bit on the chip size, There are some smaller chips mixed in. I...

    MES 40 - % of Smoke Session to add chips

    I know it can vary based on type of wood, size, and product being smoked, but I'd like to get some general thoughts on different types of meats. In one of Jeff's You Tube videos he mentions adding chips for the first half of the smoke. I followed that for my first attempt at Ribs, and added...

    My 1st MES 40 Smoke - SUCCESS!

    @DeltaDude, Great instructions! I'll be sure to follow them. One question, how much liquid do you inject?

    My 1st MES 40 Smoke - SUCCESS!

    @DeltaDude, It didn't just help, it made my 1st smoke rock! I was just confident the whole way through the process, knowing how to handle any issue that may arise. But, my smoke temp was really stable through out the session, and as I followed your suggestions for how much/how often to add...
