    MES Question

    Guys, I do not want to taint Masterbuilt becasue they have been more then wonderful for me. I have an extra unit that does not have a working controller on top of it. My other one is perfect. I was just hoping that I could get this other one working and have 2 smokers. Sorry if I mislead...

    MES Question

    Thanks so far guys. I have cleaned the connections and they are fine. I have back probed the connector on the control panel side and I have power and ground at the control panel but no lights or controls work. Thanks, Mike

    MES Question

    I have a MES with a non working digital readout and it is not covered under warranty. Has anyone ever gotten into one of these to see what I can do to get this back up and running? There are 4 small wires going up to the readout. Thanks, Mike

    First try at Dutch's Cowboy Gravy

    Controller for electric smoker

    Cheech, The proofer has 2 heating elements. It will make a neat smoker. I will need a controller like you made though. Where can I get all the parts? That thing looks so very professional. I am going to wire the heating elements together and run a male plug out for them. I will connect...

    Smoker Vent

    That's cool Illini!! I have never aced one either. Heck I am lucky not to double bogie a 150 yard par 3 any more. I used to play all the time in high school but evidently when you get older and a bunch fatter your golf game suffers. I cannot get rid of a heck of a slice. Oh well. If I can...

    1st attempt at Canadian Bacon

    Ballagh, I used the Buckboard Bacon cure on a boneless pork butt and it was awesome. Also MRH is being a bit modest about his loin. It was awesome! My pork butt was great too. I cut it about 1" to 1 1/2" thick and I had my folks down for dinner. It ended up tasting like the best smoked...

    Controller for electric smoker

    Cheech, Using the proofer we wont need a controller, I guess. It is thermostatically controlled. I do need a smoke generator. Any idea's? Thanks, Mike

    Smoker Vent

    Illini, Things have kind of gotten away from me and I have not had time to get the mod done. I am going to do it just like you did. My wife shot her first buck last weekend and I had to get it cut up and the head over to the taxidermist so that took most of a day and the day before was just...

    Smoker Vent

    I am going to do your mod. I was just hoping to have a way to regulate it. I know you use washers but could a flap be welded on to the side with a nut and bolt to hold it in place? Thanks, MDK

    Smoker Vent

    I want to put a vent in my Masterbuilt Smokehouse and am thinking about using Illini's idea since my wife works for an electrical contractor the parts would be virtually free. But if I can get my hands on a "Butterfly Vent" that may be better. I think they are called butterfly vents. The vent...

    Design Input for electric smoker

    Cheech, Do you have any pics of your home made smoker? I am interested in how you made your control unit and heat source. My brother in law has a "proofer" that was used for bread. It is 6' tall and is thermostatically controlled. I am going to turn it into a smoker but am not sure what to...
