    Recalibrate MES 30 smoker......Temps off by 30 F

    Thanks for the info.....I cleaned the "flat disc" sensor and ran it for about 3 hours.It held the  temp between 157 and 165.....With it set at 160 :) Haven't had a chance to test the probe yet...I'll do a smoke this weekend and let you know if the meat probe temp is sorted out. Thanks again ...
