Bear,
That look outstanding.
Thank you! You may have solved my problem. The Plywood sun block. Being in sunny California, my smoker faces the afternoon sun and I never thought about it affecting the temp. My smoker reads 30+ degrees hotter than my Maverick 733. Holy cow. I will be trying that this weekend.
Thanks.

That thing looks delish! Was that straight from fridge to smoker or did you bring it to room temp before starting?
Did it work Good for you???
On a sunny day, the Sun can get my Heating element to stop working for long periods, without the Sun blocking plywood.

Nope. Being that it was finally raining here no plywood was necessary. I'm really frustrated. Maverick read 223 and MES was at 255. That's with the new control Masterbuilt just sent me. I'll be calling them back tomorrow. Man this sucks.
Enjoy your day Bear. Thanks for checking.

OK---If the difference between the two isn't just because of where in the smoker they are, I would call them too, because you paid for a Smoker that goes from 100° to 275°, and if you only get 223° when set at 255°, that means if you set it to the Max (275°), you will only get it to a real 243°.
However make sure it isn't just that the part of the smoker you have your Maverick probe in isn't just a colder area, or maybe you're close to cold meat with the Maverick probe, giving you a false reading.
Let me know what happens, if you can.

Thanks Bear,
I will keep you posted. They must be having a lot of problems as I was on hold for 40 minutes earlier when I just tried again I got the request a callback, so I'm waiting patiently.
For what it's worth, I moved the Maverick probe to a couple different locations and got the same results.

OK---Sounds like a problem with the controller.
Actually the best way to see if it's really a bad MES controller would be to put the accurate (tested) Maverick probe right next to the MES sensor (Toggle switch-like thing on the back wall) while the MES is empty.
Luck be with you!

Thanks Again Bear.
Not sure if I mentioned, this actually is a new control that they sent me a week ago but I will try that test. And I did test my Maverick probes last week. 1 read 212 and 2 was at 211. At my elevation that's pretty darn good.
I really appreciate your input. Man, I just want it right. Ugh, frustating.

No problem---I want you to get it right too.
No fun if it's a faulty smoker.
So give it that empty smoker test with the Mav next to the MES sensor. They might be closer that way, but if not, it is possible to have a bad replacement control unit.
Let me know what happens with the test.

Will do.
In fact when I am pressing the buttons on the controller the beep fades in and out. Sound disconnected if that makes any sense. And I am still waiting to hear back from MB. 3 emails and 2 requested call backs going on 2 days now. Uuugh.
