update on new 40

[chefboyartie]

overall the smoker does a very good job. set 250 get 225. i start with hot water . this sure gets you going alot faster. have had the smoker about a month . fall of the bone babys several times. 1- 8lbs prime rib tender smoked good. 2- briskets  total 12lbs, oustanding results.  used the light last weekend and it did not work. don't really need it though. thanks to mes form this is a great source of info. keep smokin!......chefboyartie

Glad you're enjoying your new MES 40. The light is pretty useless where they placed it on the 2nd gen. for seeing inside. Sounds like you're smokin' up some good grub. Have you gotten an AMNPS yet? Sure does keep you from having to run out to the smoker every 30-45 min. to add more wood chips. Where's the Q-views?
