Smoked Chuck Roast / Temp Drop or Stall?
Well it ended up climbing slowly back up from that point after I pulled and wrapped. Not sure myself. Ended up turning out ok :) Oh, and this was on an electric smoker. Smoker temp stayed constant around 235 that entire time. -
Smoked Chuck Roast / Temp Drop or Stall?
So I am used to brisket and pork both having the normal stall. I am still working on my Arduino controller and decided to just monitor some temps with it during my first smoke of a chuck roast. I was surprised to see it hit about 165 then within 10 minutes drop to 145. Is this just the way it... -
Successful MES brain transplant! Plug and Play replacement controller = Full PID + Cellular contro

Flipping over the element in a MES40 - another possible mod?
Just ran some test and I can confirm this definitely helps with the variations in temperature. This was with nothing in the smoker but racks. Center of top rack to center of bottom varied no more than 5 degrees. Left to right at the top varied no more than 2 degrees Test was done in no wind...- rick123

Flipping over the element in a MES40 - another possible mod?
First, I'm sorry I did not take pictures of all steps, but I think you will get the idea of what I did. Ok, i just did this to my MES 40. I think mine is considered GEN 2.5. I have no window, but it had the slanted drip collector with the small water pan and vent at the back left of the unit...- rick123

Let's get smokin'
Long time lurker and I thank all of the regulars for some great advice, Started about 3 years ago on a vertical gas smoker. Moderately successful using that but definitely got better with time. It was overall a pain to keep consistent temperature especially in wind and cold weather. Well the...
