    Anyone know where to get a chimney for my smoker?

    Theres a guy with a chimney on this smoker that posted a review on Amazon. I was wondering if anyone had a link to an Amazon page or something that could point me in the right direction to buy one of my own?

    About to smoke my first pork butt

    About to smoke my first pork butt

    Like the title says I'm about to smoke my first pork butt. Ive got the MES 30 and the cold smoking attachment. Currently the pork is brining.

    Best way to clean a MES?

    Pretty much like the title says. Bought a MES to make life easier. Currently awaiting the 2 weeks ish it takes for the Masterbuilt cold smoker to arrive out here. While waiting I figured Id give it a good cleaning. Is there any tricks or cheats I can use to speed things up other than elbow grease?
