Got my 40" 1200 watt with window from
Amazon back in July. I've done a half dozen smokes since ranging from brisket to ribs. After one attempt using the chip tray I purchased the AMAZN smoker. Was impressed with the ease of use and the lengthy smoking times.
However, I have to say that I'm not a big fan of the smoke taste created by the pellets. I have smoked with both the hickory and cherry pellets and wasn't happy with the flavor. My wife felt the same way. I don't want to give up on the MES 40 yet especially since I now have $400 invested.
I'm going back to my vertical gas smoker this thanksgiving. I know ill get a great tasting bird with a fabulous smoke ring. Any Detroit area forum members interested in purchasing an MES 40?
