    New MES owner, preparing for the 1st smoke

    Congratulations on your first MES smoke.  As long as it was good, who cares?  Unfortunately, you'll have to do more "testing and experimenting" to iron out the bugs.  I'm sure you'll find a good use for all that "good" smoked meat byproduct until you achieve excellent results.

    FFTWarren, I count two instances of "that" word (I don't want to have to pay another $0.75) so you're owed $1.50.  Can you PM your street address for me to send a 4 foot by 8 foot check written on plywood to you?

    daddyzaring,  the PID monitors temperatures with two thermocouples.  One is used to monitor chamber temperature.  The second one is an "insertion probe" (looks like the tip of a meat thermometer) that is inserted into one of the pieces of meat. Take a look at the second picture from the...
