    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Thanks for your input. I did run out and bought a digital meat probe its a Taylor I checked it in boiling water and it is accurate. All I could find in a hurry at Walmart didn't want to over cook my tip roast. I will order me a maverick from Amazon if they have them. Keep on smoking!

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I have a Mes 40 1200 watts bought it at sams Feb. 2014 And have smoked many great meals on it. So far it has performed great except for last week I was smoking a sirloin tip roast and my meat probe read 300 when I first stuck it in and didn't change thru the whole smoke. Has anyone had this problem?
