Well im just waiting for it to show up! I can't wait to get started. Ive had my eye on the MES40 for a while but with all the electronic issues with those, i decided to go with this one and besides, i like how wide it is for doing full racks.
Here is what i have planned to do so far once i get it:
- Season it obviously
- Calibrate door thermometer
- Flatten lower damper tabs
- Seal door with high temp rtv silicone sealant (place around smoker edge, cover in saran wrap, close door overnight, remove wrap)
- Get a wireless meat thermometer
Should i use that same silicone to seal the back of the door therm os that moisture doesnt run down the door or what sealant should i use? i seen a thread on how to do it but cant find it anymore:(
Does anyone have any more tips/mods that i should do when i get it?
Thanks guys!
