My children gave me a MES for Christmas, and I've cooked a few items on it since then. I've been having problems with overcooking the food. I followed the recipe in the Masterbuilt manual for smoking a turkey (225 degrees) and set the timer for 10 hours (it was suggested to be 8-12 hours). Well, after ~8 hours, the meat thermometer showed it was already done, and it turned out to be too done! I added 1/2 cup of mesquite chips initially and then an additional 1/2 cup about 2 hours later.
Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I also did a whole pork loin (9.5 lb.), first, and it too was overdone (but tasty).
Thanks for everyone's assistance.
