    MES DIED!!! need advice

    I think that there is a sticky in the Electric Smoker forum describing the fix with photos.  Mine died a couple weeks ago and it was exactly the same as the others.  You had one of the wires going to your heating element rust out.   Look up the sticky post to see what I am talking about then...

    Electric smoker or not?

    The Bradley is the only "set and forget" watt burner I know of unless you spend big bucks on a pellet pooper...hopefully one day I will own an FEC100. All of the others need to be attended to at times to add wood. Also, none of the true set and forget watt burners can use your apple...

    Rib QVIEW

    Several weeks ago I made two UDS smokers. My inaugural smoke was actually both cookers doing MOINK, two butts, and six beer can chickens for about 40 people.

    Weekend#4 Project Fatman with (pics)

    Looks awesome!! Do your shelves for the meat just rest on angle iron? If so, they may fall forward and spill your smokie goodness when pulling them out. You may want to put a piece of steel above them also so they sort of slide into a groove to prevent spills. Just a thought..... Again...

    New to smoking

    I never soak my chunks. I also prefer chunks over chips since they smoke slower and much longer. Try both in your smoker to see what works best. I would NOT trust the door thermometer. Get one for your smoker temp and one (or more for lots of food) for meat temps. Get the ones with probes...
