I'm looking to buy a mes 40....sams club has the 40 inch with window model 20070215 cabelas has their branded 40" solid door... which one would you all recommend and why?
Just went thru this - have the SmokinIt. What bothered me is all the mods folks apply to the MES to get it to work right.Smokin-it smokers. Electric. Stainless. Pretty darn affordable, MUCH better built than the MES....and I've owned both. If you want an electric, that's where I would be looking.
No mods at all on either my MES 30 or my MES 40 and they both work great.Just went thru this - have the SmokinIt. What bothered me is all the mods folks apply to the MES to get it to work right.
Sounds interesting but if the smoke burner is inside the cabinet it is still going to create heat inside the chamber. Unless it is totally different than I'm envisioning I'm not seeing how that would be very effective at cold smoking.I'm actually in virginia and went to sams here they have a all stainless unit called smoke hollow smoke tronix.... it's 40 inch Bluetooth has a huge chip tray has 2 burners one for heat one for smoke so it has built in cold smoking capability. It has a lot of extra features the masterbuilt doesn't and it's 30 bucks cheaper thinking of picking it up
Does sound like it would make a nice cabinet for smoking jerky and sausage.It will create some yes.... and I'm sure it can't do a true cold smoke... but one thing I was thinking about is it'd be nicer for jerky the masterbuilt runs the main smoker burner and you get cooked jerky instead of smoked jerky..
Apparently this smoker is brand new and only available in select markets so there's no reviews or anything yet
I just saw your review on the Smokin-it #2D and doesn't seem like something I'd want (not sure about others) after reading that. The "burp" issue is interesting (learn something about smoking new everyday now) - is this common for all Smokin-it models or do others have better air flow? Thanks!
