No leader here. I just like to party. Had a few events at my place in the past.
As of now the plan is still moving ahead with the 2018 (6th Annual) Fowlerville Fattie Contest being held June 2nd @ Wonderdog Ranch.
We will be separating the kids this year and having a kids contest because we had so many kid entrees and interest last year.
We had a ufc event on the barn drive in that was put together last minute a few weeks ago. A few member came out and pitched in for the fight and we made some venison burgers and elk backstrap on the grill. It was cold but it was a good time.
That’s about all the news I have for now.

I just joined today. Looking at getting a MES 40 in the near future. I honestly just got the itch to get into smoking the other day and here I am. Still pretty overwhelmed with picking a smoker and next trying to figure out what and how to make it.

Great deal! Practice up on making fatties so you can enter the 6th annual fattie competition next June.
Yup, gen 2.5 which I have heard is the best to get. Someone brought up in a different thread to look at the one without the window since it is about $70 cheaper but nobody has it in stock around me.
Haha yeah, I think I have it down pretty good now. All of the bluetooth versions are gen 2.5, that is what I am going to go for.

You have questions ask away.
I will tell you all the mes thermos are junk. Not accurate at all. You’ll want to buy a igrill, or maverick thermo so you can have something to accurately set your smoker to temp. I have a maverick 732, a maverick 733, a maverick 735, igrill, and igrill 2. Out of all of them I like the igrill 2 and the maverick 732 the best.
I have the “dreaded” mes 2.0 that everyone hates. I put a mailbox mod on it and using the maverick or igrill with it I’ve had no problems. Works great. It’s smoked well over a thousand pound of meat the past 4-5 years.
The 2.5 works well. Haven’t had to put a mailbox mod on it but I’ve always used a pellet smoker with it instead of the wood chips.
