My observations from my first smoke with the new unit were similar.

4. I used the AMNPS with hickory. Ifilled one row with pellets and it lasted about 4 hours. Not heavy smoke but very consistent. No need to mo the cabinet for more air yet. I placed the AMNPS on drain pan to bottom left.

I've been thinking of getting an AMNPS, but was wondering how it would fit in the new configuration. Are you saying you put on the large tray at the bottom, pretty much underneath the water pan?

I hope sams gets them. Im looking to get a bigger smoker thats easier to use than my current one but I dont want to pay $450 for it. Not that Im giving up my current smoker. Sometimes I smoke a lot of things and I need the space. The MES 40" looks like it would hold everything I need but Id need to fill it up or see one filled to know for sure if It would be safe to get rid of my old one. Maybe by christmas they will get it or there own 2012 model.

Amazon has the new 40" model for $360 shipped. It may be cheaper than Sam's Club once you pay the tax.

hooligan8403 · Jun 12, 2012

Not sure if this helps but it seems that Sams club model numbers were 20070810, and 20070811. By this logic having looked at the product numbers patented by Masterbuilt then Sam should get one at some point. 20072812.

$360 isnt bad. With tax here at 10% for $299 it would come out to $330 roughly. I might just get it from Amazon though since its there though it looks to be back ordered.

I have smoked 50+ lbs of meat in my old MES 40 at one time. It is the old 800 watt and the recovery time was awful but it did the job.

I just called masterbuilt and confirmed bass pro shop and cabelas are the only retail stores getting the new model. Sam's will not and will continue to sell the 2011 model. I'm sure this will change eventually but it will pry be a year or so I'm guessing.

So I just ordered mine on amazon. Only $40 more than Sam's considering tax. Now lets see how long till it ships! Lol!

Oh and the free super saver shipping says "today" so who knows if its today only or just marketing

hmmmm..... Well let us know when they ship it and when you get it so we know what the back order time is like. If its a long wait I can hold off a while longer.

I think that would definatly be plenty of space then. My main time to do large amounts of meats is holidays, birthdays, and Flight/Squadron parties. Im using a masterforge electric bullet smoker right now and I make good food on it but if Im cooking for anyone more than me and my wife and trying to do everything in the smoker its a pain in the butt. And really, whats a smoke without some ABTs or other great smoked side.

cookindeac · Jun 13, 2012

New Here! For those that have the 2001 model - what is the big difference from the new 2012? Would like to get one from Sam's if there is not much difference between the two models. This will be my first Electric Smoker and have been reserching for a while now and for the $ it looks like the MES is getting better reveiws. I now use a Weber Summit for quick grilling and have a Weber Kettle w/ a Smokenator for smoking. Looking for something that does not need baby-sitting.

Bang for the buck, a good deal. The temp controller is known to be off but that is easily accounted for. It will only produce smoke at relatively high temps and you will need to stoke the chip tray every 45 min or so. Todd offers products make this an almost effortless machine. With the AMNPS, I can get around nine hours of smoke without reloading and with the ET-732 remote temp with alarms, you can do the process from about anywhere around your house. Using only the AMNPS, the box works great as a cold smoker.

It's not the biggest and baddest on the block but it does about 90% of what I need it to do.

hooligan8403 · Jun 13, 2012

I think if I could get a rotisserie unit in here to do a small pig or goat Id be really happy. Im sure I could rig it up just worried about the pig falling apart. Gyro meat in there would be awesome too.

lobo721 · Jun 13, 2012

lets see if amazon really get these. Hope so who knows

One watt-Hr equals 3.413 BTUs

650 watt-Hr's equal 2218.45 BTU's which sounds low to me.

I received the same email. I purchased the 2011 model from Sam's Club with the 2 year extended warranty. I figured the bottom line was the smoker consists of an insulated cabinet, a heating element and a vent. Hoe much of a difference could there possibly be. I smoked a 10lb Pork shoulder last weekend my first smoke ever it took longer than I had anticipated but the meat was amazing and every one loved it. I have the AMNPS on the way which will make a nice addition. The probe and was about 3 degrees difference from the additional oven thermometer I had in the meat. Good luck.

How long did you expect? Figure approx. 90 minutes per pound at around 225º for pork shoulder, thus about 15 hours. Time does vary though due to differences in smokers and every pork butt is slightly different in how it receives the heat.

Cabela's is having a sale on the old, 30" no-window model. $189 with free shipping if you use their VISA card.

Dude,

I put it in around 8 PM Saturday night. I read that it takes 1:15 minutes per pound at 240º, the meat plateaued at an internal temperature of 165º for about 4 hours then finally got to 190. I pulled it off at 3 PM Sunday afternoon. It was my very first smoke and the first time I ever even saw a pork shoulder. It came out great, it may have been bigger than 10 lbs. I am a complete rookie at this and I used Hickory wood chips. I slathered it in yellow mustard and a rub. If you have any more tips send them my way. By the way I used your MES tip guide and followed your outline as soon as I received my smoker. Thanks for your help dude. You truly abide.

I got the cancel order email from amazon too today:( I need a good coupon code for cabelas now! Lol!
