    I’m going to be smoking a brisket soon and while I’ve smoked briskets in a charcoal smoker before, this will be my first in the MES30. I’m trying to figure out my best course of action.

    Fragged My Smoker (Electrics)

    Hi All, I moved to the UK recently and brought my MES 30 with me, which I use with a transformer for 220 to 110v. No issues until last night when I accidentally plugged it into the 220v outlet on the transformer (not even beer involved, just dumb!) The display came on for about 10 secs then went...

    Venison Bear Logs

    I've been lurking over @Bearcarver 's index lately and decided to try out his Bear Logs (you can find the step-by-step recipe here). A friend of mine needed to clean out his freezer for a moose he just shot, so I got a whole bunch of his ground mule deer from last year's kill. I began with 9...

    New MES clone

    I recently bought a "Master Chef" MES clone. I believe it to be MES130/B model. It has the identical interior, with the vent in the right rear corner. I have read all the tips and such, and have only a couple questions. Has anyone cut a new vent in the LeftRear corner to improve the smoke...

    MES30 2.5 (non BT) standard 4-wire controller connection

    Hi, I have been a silent member for a while now. I have been learning a lot about my relatively new MES30 2.5 (non BT) smoker, and smoking itself. I also use my diy version of the Smoke Daddy, attached through the chip drawer opening, with great success. However, I seem to have one major...
