Yup---Gen #2.5----Try putting the bottom rack in, then set the AMNPS on the right end of the rack.
I saw this at Lowe's. Masterbuilt has really muddied the waters because you can get that same MES 30 as a Gen ! on Amazon and other retailers like ACE Hardware. It looks like MB redesigned the MES 30 along the Gen 2 interior design. Also, the overall smoker feels less well made and and as substantial as the Gen 1. The body definitely felt lighter and thinner.[h1]Just unboxed my new MES 30. it looks like they have changed the hardware in the bottom of the unit.[/h1][h1]. Not sure the AMNPS 5x8 tray I ordered is going to fit, the two bars I saw in pics of the previous model are not there in this one, and there is not quite 5" between the side wall and element mounting hardware.I guess I may have to put it on the bottom shelf.[/h1]
Ribs look very nice!!!
Oohhh, those step by steps are going to come in handy, thanks Bearcarver. I'll be trying that Boston Butt soon. My baby backs were very good, glad to have the first smoke come out so well.
That's a really good price for that smoker, Dave. You're already doing a great job with it.
