    Grate lifter ideas

    I'd still have to have a way to easily remove the grates for cleaning. But your solution eliminates the problem altogether. Hmmm, it's a very interesting idea there. I've also thought about adding a bigger lip. That would also solve the design problem...Maybe... Its just that the small lip is...

    Grate lifter ideas

    Yes it has to be supported as it comes out. I don't want to dump anything into the coals. I was going to try something low key like you described with the trowel. The problem that I had is the deep yet narrow opening. I say narrow because the other grate is still sitting there at that point. And...

    Grate lifter ideas

    That's really close to what I have in mind right there. I'm trying to avoid just buying, and trying several versions. That's why I created this thread. But if I end up just trying one anyway, without any particular personal endorsement. That might be the type I'd try. It's certainly simple...

    Grate lifter ideas

    One of the first things I thought of, so we're thinking alike there. But nothing popped. I already have most every tool there is. And there's several likely candidates in the grill section. But nothing that really fits the criteria perfectly, or really not even close. So if I'm planning on just...

    Grate lifter ideas

    Every time that I try to lift these grates for any reason, while they're hot. They fall... Right onto the hot coals. Even when it's cool, they fall obviously but it's only a slight aggravation then. The one that's on the right demonstrates the problem, although it obviously happens with either...

    This sounds like a good deal. If it's still open, I'd like the code for the thermometer please.

    Need an accurate temp guage.

    Hey everyone, I've got an analog MES 30B. As everybody knows, the factory temp guage on the door isn't very accurate. So I'm looking for one that is. I realize that I probably won't find total accuracy, and even if I did, it'd likely cost more than I am willing to spend. But if I could get it...

    First smoke on a new electric MES smoker

    I've still got the old one, but fixing it is out. The price of a new element is almost the price of a new one, plus I've never liked how the racks work. You have to remove the top rack, while loaded with whatever is on it, to baste, or check the temperature of whatever's on the lower rack. Don't...

    First smoke on a new electric MES smoker

    Thanks smokerjim! I've had a lot of experience, both good and not so good, since I've gone electric for smoking. Having a thermostat sure beats the heck out of babysitting a wood burner. I used to stay up all night cooking brisket, but I'm too old for that now. So there'll be a short learning...

    First smoke on a new electric MES smoker

    Hey all! I just got the analog 30B to replace an old brinkman. I smoked on a brinkman electric for years, because the factory outlet was here in town, and they were ridiculous cheap. Probably about what they were actually worth, but that place closed down. When my old model went bad, it was time...
