    yet another broken MES

    If you're looking for a new smoker, make sure a 30" MES isn't one of them I've had mine for about 6 months, but only used it 3-4 times and the digital control panel no longer displays correctly. Its almost like the connection to the LED panel is loose, if i press on the screen really hard i...

    Shelf life of ribs

    I trimmed 'em, rubbed 'em and got everything ready for a great smoke today. But i woke up sick as a dog, and there is no way i can do it. How long do ribs last in the fridge? I threw away the package, so i dont know the date. I bought them last weekend, and they were in the cryopack. Even...

    Wood for Electric Smoker

    I've been using big chunks of wood scattered on the bottom of the smoker, careful not to touch the heating element. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get more smoke? My dad says to use wood chips instead of chunks, but it seems like those would burn up too quick, and I'd have to...
