Well thats great, I have a Masterbuilt 30" (MES30), I have a Masterbuilt 40" (MES40), although I don't have a Masterbuilt Analog unit, I have used analogs for a lot of years.

Is your controller located on the front our on the back of your smoker? If its in front chances are you have a generation 2, if its on the back its probably a generation 1.

LOL.... you didn't know there were so many types of smoker did ya.... Don't worry. There are some totally awesome recipes and instructional Q-Views here to help.
