    Camp Chef Cleanup. HELP!

    Thank you all. I seem to be getting error messages, so I don’t know if my replies are getting through. On the drip tray using foil, is there a problem covering up all those vent holes?

    Camp Chef Cleanup. HELP!

    Any tips on cleanup for a Camp Chef 24SG smoker? I have a greasy mess and want to avoid having to fight this thing every time I smoke. If I could figure a way to use a water/drip pan, I would, but the angled drip tray underneath the grates make this a challenge. Putting the racks into the...

    New Camp Chef SG 24 owner! Tips on keeping it clean

    Just got my Camp Chef SG24 smoker and did the initial recommended burn. Couldn’t waste all that heat and smoke so I smoked 3 boneless chicken breasts. The drip tray was a mess to clean and immediately started to turn rusty looking. The thing was slippery with oil from the manufacturer. The...

    Boston Butt Smoke

    From the photos, you smoked it in a pan?  I always thought you had to put it on the rack so the smoke could make better contact with the meat.  Does a Boston Butt stick to the smoker rack?  Do I need to oil the rack first?  Can someone comment on the pros and cons of smoking in a pan vs on the...

    Spare ribs on the mes 30

    my new MES 30 came with a rib rack holder.  I am getting ready to but on some spare ribs and was wondering if I should mess with the rib rack or just lay them out on the flat rack.  The rib rack holds them up on their side and would probably do better with BBBs  Any thoughts on the matter  does...

    Newbie to Electric Smoking. MES leaks!

    Thanks I will quit soaking chips, spritzing, and plan to marinate meat or inject, then turn it on and leave it alone! Everyone seems to distrust the probe that is wired in to the MES so I will be investing in a more reliable one. The water pan on my model is more of a little pot with a drp...

    Newbie to Electric Smoking. MES leaks!

    FYI, I live in Dallas and it seems like it is never cool here and it is usually humid too.  Yes, I had water in the pan, soaked my chips and had the vent half open, so per all of the suggestions I have received, I will omit soaking and use only a little water in the pan and open up the vent.  If...
