Hello from Sin City

[Salty Jon]

My name is Jon and I've been dabbling in the smoking world for a few years. Currently an active duty member of the GREATEST Air Force that this earth has ever seen. I am right at my 20 year point and will stay in for another 4 years or so. I started smoking with a Webber upright a LONG time ago. After many moves, I got a chargrilled duo and added a side fire box for smoking. After a while I realized that I was unable to maintain temps in that ol' rust box and upgraded to a Masterbuilt 40 with a A-Maze-N pellet smoker for added smoke. On my most recent move to LV, I treated myself to a Traeger Jr Elite. I liked it at first but have started to dislike it due to limited size and too many temperature swings (50 degrees in both directions, proven with a thermoworks Smoke). I think I'm gonna start looking for a new smoker here pretty soon.

Hi Jon!
Welcome to

First and foremost thank you for your service. Got retired Air Force in the family and nothing but the best.

MES40 with the AMNPS is hard to beat if you are on the move a lot and not much time to smoke.

Otherwise treat yourself to the best you can get!
