    Cleaning Tips for the MES

    Thanks nChapelHeel. I really didn,t like the idea of Easy Off either. I did what I should have done from the start and that was call Masterbuilt. I called and told the representative my dilemma and straight out admitted that it was negligence on my part and he told me the same thing. "Do not use...

    Cleaning Tips for the MES

    I too thought I had covered everything (no pun intended) to do my first smoke. I now have a baked on mess on chip tray, element housing and tray rails where grease dripped and ran everywhere. I know now what I need to foil and protect in future smokes. I want to clean all of this off before...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I have the Gen1 30" MES Digital w/window and remote, 800 watt element. I have only done one food smoke (Scarbelly Wings) with it but the end results were bragged about, so I guess I did ok.

    First MES Smoke

    I was having issues with getting it to draw well. This was a recommendation from Todd and it solved the draw problem. It was pretty windy that day 15+ mph winds. I will figure it out in time. Thanks for the input.

    First MES Smoke

    Well most of them at least Dave. I did discover that even with the AMNPS tented the grease found its way to the pellets and snuffed them out. I need to work on this obviously my dimensions on wire support and foil were a little off. It dripped onto top of foil and ran to underside of foil and...

    First MES Smoke

    Thanks guys. It was actually closer to almost 3 hours in the smoker. It took a long time for it to reach the set temp. It hovered at 240 or so for the longest. I contributed it to the stiff breeze. I pulled up a couple of big garbage cans to block the wind and it almost immediately began to show...

    Scarbelly Wings (Buffalo Style)

    It was actually closer to 3 hours. The wind was high and I didn't want to smoke up my buddy's carport. We set it up in his driveway but I couldn't get it up to the 275 mark for the longest. I finally built a barricade/wind block with a couple of garbage cans. It worked perfectly. My buddy and...

    First MES Smoke

    I have some Scarbelly style wings marinating in the fridge that I plan to smoke tomorrow. I have a GEN1 MES 30" with window. My plan is to preheat unit to 275, place AMNPS with pellets in smoker to help draw any moisture out. I nuked some this afternoon and poured them inside a ziplock bag. The...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I am trying my very first smoke tomorrow on a new Gen1 MES30 digital with glass door and remote on some Scarbelly Wings! I bought an AMNPS from Todd and some pellets as well. I plan to preheat unit to 275 and looking at a 2 hour smoke. What do you guys think? Where I live, it will be hot and...

    Scarbelly Wings (Buffalo Style)

    I just finished injecting some wings with this marinade but instead of Tony Chachere's, I sprinkled some Cavender's  and very lightly sprinkled a little kosher salt as well. Put them in a big stainless pan to marinate overnight. A buddy and I are going fishing for a few hours in the morning and...

    AMNPS!

    Thank you Bear. This is exactly what I need, being a complete novice to this new found hobby. My family and friends love barbecue and various things smoked. I needed to know what internal temp to pull the different smoked meats (butts, chicken, pork loins, etc.) at. I also want to do some cold...

    AMNPS!

    I received my new AMNPS and Pitmaster's Choice pellets in the mail yesterday! I plan to give Todd a call sometime today. It arrived only two days after ordering and I didn't pay a dime for shipping! I took advantage of the A-Maze-N Products Dad's Day Sale. I am planning(if time allows) to season...
