Here is my Merry Christmas from the Wife Unit

[ewetho]

It is an MES30 Model 2007011 featuring two shelves and a 1800 Watt element. Should be fun.

Oh and according to the thermometer, the water boils in my house (at an of elevation approximately 500 ft) at a grand 250 degrees! Yeah!

This is the one that was at Gander Mountain for ~$100. My first Smoker. Yet to be seasoned and cook but Christmas is coming soon enough.

Here is the Outside

And the insides too

Sure is nice and clean, tell the wife you need to season it try it out at lease once so the Christmas meal will be perfect.

Well seasoning is done. Supposed to let it run for 3 hours with last 45 minutes of smoke. I gave up waiting and added the wood chips for 3 hours after 1 hour of heat. Had smoke till the end when I put water on the chips to put them out, but it never got that hot. The manual electric only has a dial and Low-Med-High and was supposed to be done on Med and I went to Med-High. I know the gage reads high (water bath tested) so just under 225 is not very hot when measuring boiling water it was a 250. I was on an extension cord and from previous research on this site I am sure I need a better (heavier gauge) one and will see what happens then.

Here is the seasoning run.

Good amount of smoke when the door opens.

Was still smoking after at least 3 full hours on top of the burner. I did soak them per the directions.

Old No. 7 Brand does have a distinct odor. Nice! Got to like a whiskey cask for wood chips.

Congrats on a great deal. 

 

[ewetho]

I hope my starter supplies will be fun.....
