    rubs

    Ok so I'm looking for new ideas for pork and beef rubs. I make my own rubs every time I smoke something. But I'm getting kind of the same flavors even when I tweak things. Now I don't want anyone's personal recipes. But just ideas for some good tweaks. As always happy smokin AJ

    mav 733

    After receiving my mav 733 and testing the Temps of my MES 30. I found that when set for Temps over 225 the factory therm is off by about 25.. when set for 210 it's spot on. But between 210 and 225 it's kind of a dead zone. Glad I bought this product.
