    6 Months and my MES is Broken!

    I am in the process of cooking some spareribs today, as well as the wicked beans. 30" mess that I bought in June 2009. I've used it at least 10 times since then, last time was thanksgiving when I smoked a turkey breast (came out awesome). When I started up my MES earlier this morning...

    Fig wood

    Tried a search, but didn't get any hits on Fig (because it is 3 letters, I assume). Anyway, I have a large fig tree in my yard that is getting too big for my small yard. I'll be cutting it down a bit, and was wondering if it is possible to use the wood for smoking. Has anyone tried Fig wood...

    Started my cook

    4.22 pound boston butt. at 1.5 hours/lb = ~6.3 hours at 2 hours/lb = ~8.4 hours Therefore, my guess is it should be done sometime between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Temp around 225 degrees. I put it in this morning at 7:30 AM. By 9:45 the meat is at 140 degrees. Is this going too fast? Or am I...

    Maybe a dumb question about foiling and temp probes

    I am planning to try the pulled pork recipe that is stickied in this forum this weekend. How are you taking the temperature of the meat while it is foiled? Does the foil interefere with the metal probe? Do you keep a section unfoiled so that the probe won't touch the metal foil? Thanks!

    My first MES smoke went well

    (Sorry, no pics). I'm sitting here with a stomach full of ribs. A few observations. Ribs came out well. I used a rub and glaze that were published by Danny Gaulden. Made 4 racks of ribs in total, 2 were done with the 2-2-1 foil method, the other 2 I kept unfoiled and just cooked for...

    Using an extension cord witht the MES?

    OK, I know the manual says not to, but the cord that comes with the unit is pretty short. I would like to place the MES a little further away from the house. Has anyone successfully used an extension cord with the MES? Was it a certain gauge? Thanks!

    Cutting ribs to fit smoker- quicker cook?

    I'm going to be cooking up some pork loin ribs tomorrow in my newly aquired 30" Masterbuilt electric smoker. The ribs are too long to fit in the smoker. If I cut them in half, will it decrease the time to cook? I was planning on 225 for about 5 hours. I will probably try foiling 1/2 of the...
