Why is it on this site that there is so little acknowledgement of the
Masterbuilt electric cold smoker .It works and works well . I use it for normal smoking and if you put ice in the MES I would bet it would work fine for cheese and such . When I first got it I broke it in with MES shut down and it raised temp from 70 degrees to 85 degrees and that was with no ice . In colder weather I would bet that there would be no problem doing a cold smoke with it . It will burn Chips ,small chunks,pellets and broke up charcoal . It will run for about 6 hours on a full load . Bass Pro has them cheap too . Just can't figure out why so many people are going crazy trying to keep the
AMNPS lit when the
Masterbuilt cold smoker is such a no brainer ,true set it and forget it .
Here's the SIMPLE answer........
Masterbuilt has claimed for years, that there is NOTHING wrong with their smokers, and they produce good smoke. Then, after I've had great success with an accessory that works fantastic in the MES 30 and MES 40, they come out with a "Cold Smoker Kit".
But remember, there's nothing wrong with their MES 30 or MES 40.........Right?
Quote from BassPro:
"Cold Smoker allow you to smoke foods consistently at temperatures as low as 100° to 120° F"
For Real?
Did they even research the definition of "Cold Smoking" before they wrote this product description?
Try using the MES Cold Smoker Kit on a gas grill or
Weber Kettle?
How about a Propane Upright?
Will it attach to a cardboard box?
A Fridge Conversion?
Oh, and if you want to teach your buddy how to smoke, you gotta lug the Cold Smoker Kit to his house and attach it to his smoker. But, if your buddy doesn't own a MES 30 or MES 40, you're out of luck.
And, I'm sorry to all those thousands of customers who did not receive a power cord with their
AMNPS, but rumor has it, THE
AMNPS DOES NOT USE ANY ELECTRICITY!
So, there's my answer.
