Fired up...err, plugged in my MES30 yesterday to smoke some goods for our delayed Mother's Day celebration for my mom.
• 2 Racks of Baby Backs (darker rub was the Trader Joes Coffee/Garlic rub, other rub was Bone Suckin' Sauce; which has been my favorite thus far).
• 8 Atomic Buffalo Turds, 4 stuffed with pork, 4 stuffed with chicken
• 2lbs of wings (not shown).
And yes, that is a hockey puck on my exterior drip pan, it kept the foil from blowing up.

Nice even better. I have never tried the pro stuff, my dad thought it was a good deal so he grabbed it. I am doing some smoking this weekend so we will see if it lasts longer.
So I jumped in on whim couple weekends ago and bought a Masterbuilt 30" vertical electric at Dick's for 20% off. (less than $175)
Have done a couple chickens with hickory. Some pork ribs with teriyaki marinade and hickory. My buddy came over and low temp smoked some bacon on applewood.
Gotta say, I'm loving this.
Can maybe see a bigger investment in both time and money coming for this delicious frakking "hobby"

Welcome to the family!
Once you get yours seasoned and familiar with it, I highly recommend the "mailbox mod". Just Google that and you'll find plenty of info, but I'd be happy to help with any questions. It's an easy, relatively inexpensive mod that makes it simple to cold smoke on your MES. Then you can make your own smoked cheese, cold-smoked salmon or bacon, Cheez-Itz....
Smoked a couple racks on Saturday afternoon. Tried a new to me rub, the Maple by Grill Mates. It wasn't too bad, had a little sweet with some zing to it. But when all is said and done, the Bone Sucking Sauce is still my favorite. Went for 3.5 hours at 275, vent fully open, water pan filled halfway with apple juice, cherry wood chips provided the smoke.
^ post pix of that when you are done with the smoke!
I'm makin 6 racks this weekend with Meathead's Memphis Dust. Hopefully its enough for 25ish people.
