I've been using an electric Masterbilt for several years now and it never has provided enough smoke to my cooks. I recently purchased a Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro[emoji]174[/emoji] Cold Smoker ring that more than gets the job done for me. This unit is inexpensive, around $25-$30, and uses pellets to generate the smoke. You can adjust the length of smoke by flipping it over, one side for long smoke(6hr+), the other side for short smoke(2-4hr). The best part is that you don't have to fully load it with pellets if you want to limit the smoke times. It's user friendly, does a great job adding smoke to my cooks and is just very simple to use.
hattles, I am with you 100% on the  Smoke Ring ... See my post #1316 where I  even tested it against other Smokers.

I used mine on a 13# Pork Butt Saturday 9-3 as well on other things regarding shorter smokes  prior to that and it worked to perfection. No problem at all keeping it lit plus it put out consistant smoke the whole time without fail. I love it and others will to if they try it. The only ones that may not like it are those that like just barely like a taste of smoke at all, but those that like the taste of normal smoke will love it . See my post #1316 ...

Some of us prefer the Amazing Smoker, because the guy who sells them is a Sponsor here, and pays to advertise, and sponsors contests here.

Aside from the fact that the Amazing Smokers work Great, the owner "Todd" is a Great friend & Member to this forum & provides customer service second to none.

The Smoke Daddy is not a sponsor here. He just sends Shills here to do his advertising.

Without proof, keep your accusations to your self as no one sent me to advertise. I took it on my own to report what I have posted, because that has been my experience with the two products. I don't buy any product from anyone just because they are a sponser, I buy the product that works best for me, regardless of who sells it. If you want to use a product just because someone sponsers it, that is your decision, but as said, I buy a product that works best for me and not because some one does or does not sponser it.

Wasn't talking about you.

I was talking about the guy sending his daughter here last year, and now a new guy makes 4 posts & all of them are pushing the Product, and admits that Dennis sent him.

If you don't understand that, so be it. I'm done with this thread.

When you quote me like you just did, I will have to take the position that you were talking to me, but if you weren't, then sorry, but next time don't mention me if you aren't talking about me.

Sorry about that---I can see how you could have thought that. 

I directed that at the last one to mention the "other" product.

Xin Loi,

Bear, I'm new here and take offense to your insinuation. I'm neither a shill nor do I feel "obligated" to buy something I don't want...sponsor or not. I made my purchase long before I was directed here so I'm unaware of who or what has taken place here by other businesses or members. If you're interested in keeping new members participating here you might try to be a little more tactfull in your approach. Because of your last post, re: shills, I'm now less inclined to buy from the sponsor you've pointed out.
 
Brickguy221, thanks, I'll check out you post for sure.

So, Dennis sent you here.....  Interesting...   It's probably time you discontinued pushing Dennis' products...   Unless you want to be a sponsor for the site...   Check with Jeff on what sponsor fees are...   Shouldn't be too bad....  Anyhow, advertising is frowned upon....   Sorry you felt is the norm...   Not here....  Jeff runs a pretty tight ship....

Hello all, I'm a long time backyard cook and new to Smoking Meat Forums. Dennis from Smoke Daddy Inc suggested I come here...Thank you Dennis.
 
 
Dave, like Bear...you can stuff it where the sun don't shine! Not to worry though, I'm done posting here...done with the website.

Me, admitting that I was directed here and then it being assumed by you and the other guy that I was attempting to "advertise" or "shill" for that product would be pretty stupid on my part don't you think...if you are even capable of cognitive thought. I guess it'd only count to you guys if I pushed a sponsors product that I don't own. Sorry for my honesty...my bad!

Another member PM'd me explaining my error...I was appreciative of that and let him know...privately.

I'm done with you unfriendly, openly air it out on the forum, over protective holes.

Sorry you feel that way.

Maybe next time you should at least make a few posts about smoking food, before you make every single post you make about the product you're pushing.

Then it won't be so obvious to blind people like myself.

You win the prize though, as you're the first Newby I've had a run-in with in 5 years.

Most people seem to get along with me pretty good.

This "Newby" didn't start this little run-in with you...you started it by being a smart-arse. I didn't appreciate your open forum comment. YOU could have easily avoided all of this by simply sending me a PM, like other members did, advising me of my error and all would have been good. But noooo, you think you're a big shot around here, and some might think you are, and had to run your mouth.

Thanks for showing me the hospitality of how a forum like this is supposed to work. Jeff must be proud to have a welcoming committee headed by you. This is my last post and final visit to Smoking Meat Forums. See ya.

Shill?

After reading, and rereading that paragraph, it's obvious that it's a perfect example of that age old idiom, "The Pot Calling The Kettle Black".

Great job with that.

I recently bought the cold smoker attachment for my MES and set it up for the first time today.

Something doesn't seem quite right though; is the wood chip tube supposed to rest flush in the groove inside the body of the unit? When the chip screen is on mine, the tube rests directly on top of the heating element, causing a 1/8 to 1/4 inch gap above the groove. When pre-seasoning it, it seems like a lot of smoke was escaping out of the lid. I'm confident that I have the chip screen on properly.

Also, after pre-seasoning the unit for an hour I turned it off and let it cool for about 30 minutes. When I opened up the chip tube cap, the remaining chips immediately caught on fire.

Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Or is there a chance I have a bad unit?
Has anyone been able to fix the chimney sitting flush yet?
 
RC209,
Try that question on one of the newer Masterbuilt Cold Smoker threads.

A lot has happened since 2015.
Good Luck,

Bear
