Ive been working with this thing for awhile now and pretty much love it, making some great food between this and my weber gas. I was doing about 150 wings for a party at my house and this time it would not get over 190. I dont know if it was too many wings or what was going on - here are some details FYI newest MES 30 BT.
I had all 4 racks full - and the bottom one was just above the water pan I believe which I had used before to catch stuff - everything Ive done Ive learned from here. I wonder if that was it. I have MAV and the Thermopro TP 20. Love them, they are a huge help but I was very pissed because I was doing a version of Scarbellys wings and was going to crisp them on the grill but could never get the unit to get above 200.
ANY IDEAS? I dont think my unit is doing anything wrong, I did also use a different ext cord but that was my first idea as to why it wasnt gettting hot so I plugged direct pretty soon on.
It did get hot when I pre heated to get to temp and get the AMNPS going but once put the food in. 190 was tops.
THANKS EVERYONE.
PS. JUST WANT TO THANK THIS FORUM - I am becoming a "famous" chef because of what I have learned here : ) lol
