Hey

[bobbygee]

Hi guys,I'm Bobby and live in Pa. I'm smoking with a masterbuilt electric smoker. I know,I dont get any man points for using an electric smoker but I had a half barrel type with an offset firebox and keeping the temp above 220 after 3 hours was a major pain. I'm looking forward to picking the brains of the pit masters here and getting all the advise I can get regarding the MES.

Hey Bobby, welcome to the forums. We have a number of wattburners here so you're in fine company. The MES is a good little unit and folks that use them enjoy the ease.

Bobby,
welcome to the site, I use the MES exclusivly now thanks to a big oak tree and a storm. I love it. That unit will put out some fine smokes and is easy to use. I will give you a tip that was passed on by Ron, Our resident MES pro.
Get a 12 x 12 UNGLAZED ceramic tile and place it over the heating element in the unit. This will eleminate the hot spot that is on the right side of the unit.
