Getting ready to head to Lowes and look at a MES40 for $250 http://www.lowes.com/pd_673792-58355-20076515_1z0wekg__?productId=50408360&pl=1  Can't get my Traeger to smoke at low enough temps to do sausage and wondered what you guys thought of this unit.  Any one own one?  Thanks.

Or this one?  http://www.lowes.com/pd_673793-58355-20077915_1z0wekg__?productId=50408344&pl=1

Posted in the group thread and thought I'd post here as well.  Hope that's ok.

Thanks guys. Mostly looking for something to smoke sausage. Couldn't beat the price at tad over $200. Been wanting to make smoked sausage for a while. Is there a version 3? I called the company and she said it's a v3 (?). Looking forward to sausage and bacon!

Do the Gen 2 have vents on either the top or side?  I thought the side vent was the biggest complaint on Gen 2.  This has a top vent.
