    MES 30 Mod: A nerd and his smoker - bring your iPAD....

    Two years in with this MES 30. Friday, I was adding wings to a rack sitting in the smoker (heating on) and felt a tingle in my fingers. Being an electrical engineer by trade...felt about right for 120VAC. Took some measurements today, and sure enough, element is working, but leaking 120VAC to...

    Read it...So no external links? "Moderators edit things. That's their job. If you get edited, don't take it personally. they're just doing their jobs." Can folks pm me? for links to.... Casters Texas Crutch article or the other hardware... They are not mine and I am not profiting from them.

    MES 30 Mod: A nerd and his smoker - bring your iPAD....

    Possibly the most convoluted smoker in the Carolinas.... After my 'Explosive Build' kept exploding, it was time for a change. $177 and Amazon.com = Commercial electric smoker, the MES 30. Mechanical mods: Removed feet, and replaced with lockable casters. (WTF! = Where's the Feet?). Check out...

    Hope for the best - Expect the worst.... My MES 30 is definitely not stainless inside or out. I was prepared for sore arms, and cursing...but my drill bits went through without issue.

    MES 30 - Drilling through the body...

    Well then, if that is the case I can come out of the top side vent. My experience with stainless is from German made industrial enclosure manufacturers (Rittal) , and it is definitely NOT magnetic.

    Thermocouples This MES 30 is an older model. The inside is not stainless. I tested it with a magnet, it grabbed as hard as it did the exterior shell. the tape and lamp tube are great tips. Thanks for that.
