Today I was given a gift from a good friend of mine, a 50.00 off code for cabela's. The idea was too buy a Bradley like he has, but even with 50.00 off it is still pretty spendy, and with the puck cost it will contenue too be. So I was thinking of buying the 30" mes (black one) that Cabela's has on sale for 149.00. This would make for a pretty affordable smoker for me. Before I do I wanted to ask a question.
It seems that for the most part everyone seems to be pretty happy with the mes, this is great but I have also read about the problem of element failure. And from what I have read, replacing the heating elemenmt is impossible. So I would like to know just how many people have had this trouble, and how it was handeled? Was it somehow repaired? Also how long do these smoker tend to last? Can I expect to get five or six years out of it, or is less time more the norm?
Thank you for the help. Just trying figure out what the best choice is. The mes or maybe just bite the bullet and get the bradley...
