First smoke on the MES 40. Andouille Sausage!

[mtm408]

Put my new Gen. 1 MES through it's first official smoke over the weekend.  I purchased the MES so I could do some lower temp smoking for sausage making.  The initial run wen't well but it was cold here in WI.  Temps on Sunday didn't get out of the teen and it did create a few problems.  Also my Maverick ET-73 decided to hickup in the middle of the smoke.  

I've got pictures and the details on the sausage forum.

Nice!

I had to deal with wind and rain for a brisket yesterday.  Ran the smoke way over the time it usually takes.  The family had to settle for hotdogs!  Eating today.

Funny how weather can throw off the MES box so much.  I have the 40" Gen 1 too.

Great pics!
