    Controlling heat on MES

    Where would I find one of these? Don't run it this low often unless doing fish or bacon which is only a couple times a year. Most of the time I think I'll be fine with temps. The foil made a huge difference in the temp and the smoke quality coming from the smoker. Once again thank you for the help!

    Controlling heat on MES

    Thank you very much for your input. I've had a electric for years and got this as a gift. Holding temp at 130 for about a hour now, leaving a crack in the door and soaking the chips for about two hours and putting them in a foul pouch has helped with the heat spikes

    Controlling heat on MES

    I'm trying to maintain around 120,doing some bacon. Temp will be stable around 125 for 30-45 minutes and then jumps up to 150ish all of a sudden. No flare ups to speak of. The propane part is new to me and I know there's a learning curve. But help is more than welcome!

    Controlling heat on MES

    Hello all! Newbie here. So I bought the propane 40" and am having some troubles maintaining temperature. Have read a few of the older posts and tried most things with no luck. Anybody else having these problems? Anybody with any input? Thank you all in advance for any help
