I have a question re: the heating element on my MES 30 gen 2 (I think) bass pro sportsman elite. Is the guard/shield supposed to touch the element? I noticed it when I unboxed it. I hv used it several times. The only problem I have is control not correct temp. Masterbuilt sent new one...
Well , guess I got all worked up for nothing. I put a temp probe into the 7 lb butt about 10;00a.m. temp was 180 degrees by 11:00 a.m. the temp was starting to RISE!!!!!! slowly!!!!! It reached 200 finally and I foiled it and let rest for hour or so. I guess that is "THE STALL" I have heard so...
The temp was smoker temp. i have nNOT put probe into butt to check temp . Should i probe the 7 lb (on bottom rack closer to element) or smaller 5 lb on upper rack? I dont want to open door since im hving problems getting temps to 225. i hv loaded up smoker before with no problems getting to...

Welcome to SMF. I have enjoyed learning how to smoke meat & It's a work in progress. I 'm from Searcy, Ar and just wanted to say Hello.
The members are really great with advice and are very helpful. Enjoy and good luck. Larry
looks better than my 1st fattie (last weekend) but i plan to try again. I made a breakfast fattie w sausage, onion, bell pepper, cheese wrapped w bacon but now I have to try jeff's dry rub this weekend on ribs and a fattie. Good pics & im sure it tasted great!
Thanks so much to everyone for input & ideals. I'm not giving up but it did put a damper( no pun intended) on things. I will try again probley Sat or Sun. Thanks to all
Thanks for looking. the smoker & mailbox mod. are both sitting on the back deck. Does the smoker need to b higher ? Maybe on a stand? I tilted the mailbox up a couple of inches thinking that might help but it didn't.
I need some advise on the a-maz-n pellet tray &products. I did the mailbox mod on my MES "smoker but have had 2 failed attempts at getting the pellets to stay lit. I even put more vent holes in mailbox mod. One member told me to microwave pellets for 60 sec. it did not help. Jeff said he...
you folks are killing me. Smoke cheese & have to wait weeks to enjoy....... several weeks.... or even longer. I'm a cheese freak but looking forward to getting my A-maze-n pellet smoker in & have fun learning the art of "cold smoking" . do I need to do mailbox mod. on my MES 30 so I won't get...
What can i do to get more smoke on my meat. I dont like feeding the chips every 30 mins. Has anyone used the cold smoke attachment that masterbuilt had? What other choices do i hv ? Meat doesnt hv enough smoke taste? Thanks Larry
I contacted Masterbuilt. Jennifer was very helpful & has a new control coming my way. This weekend i plan to install part & test. I will let you know how it does after repaires have been made.
Well, live&learn ......maybe i should hv done more research before i bought a MES...just didnt want to spend the extra$ being a newbee smoker. Thanks i will contact the mfg. hopefully it will b a good beginner smoker and i can upgrade later..
