Just did the boiling water test of my Masterbuilt smoker food probe, along with my Maverick probes.  Below are the results, keeping in mind that the temp being registered on the smoker IS the Masterbuilt food probe.  How can they possibly be this far off?  I understand a couple degrees, maybe even 5 degrees.  But 34?  
 

I'm getting very disillusioned with my MES 40.  I've been through three remotes, and not one of them works.  So much for convenience.  They sent me a new chip tray unit because my chips caught on fire when I was seasoning the unit.  It's exactly the same as the one that came with the unit.  And they were supposed to have sent me a whole new "brain" to see if the remote would work with it. It's been on back order for over a month.

Yep, gettting pretty disappointed in Masterbuilt.   Yes, I'm just ranting. :)

 
Are the Mav probes next to the MES probe ???  temps can be different in different parts of the smoker....  The temps on the rack where the food is, is the most important temp....  Ignore the MES temp....
