    MES30 SS - flash-over explosion in chip tray?

    After the third pooommmff incident I tried just leaving the chips in the chip loader and that actually worked.  No more puffing and the smoke went from heavy white to thin and blue.  Seems like with my unit, there is enough heat off the burner to keep chips smoking in the loader.  When the chips...

    Cleaning MES Window Without Any Chemicals At All

    I just use a green Scotch Brite pad and some paper towels right after a smoke, while the glass is still warm. I wet the scotch brite pad in warm water and it takes very little effort to losen the residue on the window with a little scrubbing.  A couple wipes with some paper towels and the job's...

    New MES 30" SS with window - QView ribs

    First run of my new MES 30" SS.  No mods, no tricks, just a straight run to see how it behaved.  Dry rub St. Louis style ribs for 5 hours at 230-250.  Apple and alder smoke.  Came out pretty nice for a first shot.  I don't care what people say, that window is great!  Much easier than my old...

    You smoke for how long?!?!?

    I just obtained a Masterbuilt SS 30".  I am really looking forward to this new smoker for its ability to make the whole smokin' operation much simpler than with my old Brinkman Smoke N Pit.  When looking at tips on using my new smoker I see lots of people like the A-Maze-N smoker.  Thus, it...

    MES30 SS - flash-over explosion in chip tray?

    OK, thanks for the reassurance.  I have heard about the A-maze-in and may indeed give one a try.  I also already fidgeted around a bit and seem to have hit upon a solution for better smoke and no more flash-over puffs.  I just leave the chips in the loading tray and let them burn there.  Seems...

    Fishshtick - Hi from Maine

    Hi fellas,        I'm an intermediate level smoker. I started with a Brinkman Smokin' Pit with a modification of a heat shield between the wood box and the smoking chamber.  Did OK with that for about 8 years, mostly chicken and ribs.  I enjoyed the ritual of using block charcoal and wood...

    MES30 SS - flash-over explosion in chip tray?

    OK, this is kinda funny and kinda scary.  I just got my new MES30 SS (Its the 20070411 version with half loader but full tray burner).  I have been a stick burner for years and had the epiphany this year that I would probably eat much more BBQ if it weren't such a huge labor to pull it off.  My...
