Do a mailbox mod. I used 1 alum mailbox and 2 alum. adj. elbows (3 inch). Set the mailbox on a brick for airflow and works great on my mes30. Solved all my problems. Cost less than $25 at Menards. Keep it lower than the intake to your smoker.

Started a brisket this morning. The element and light is staying on all the time and just wont get to temp. It is now at 220 after 2 hours. I see the rewiring threads but that is usually for a completly dead unit. Mine is just not getting hot all the way. Any ideas what the problem could...
Do the mailbox mod. I went to menards and bought an alum. mailbox and two alum. adj elbows for $21.00. Traced a circle on the back of the mailbox and cut a hole. Cut 3 tabs 1 inch wide and 1 inch deep and bent them over, stick pipe in and zip screwed tabs to mailbox. Taped all the back...

Do yourself a favor and go to an actual tool store to buy a welder and not a box store. They have the knowledge and parts to help you if you ever have a problem. Lowes will just say we need to order it and who knows how long it will take. All electric tools are not the same. Just because...
Thanks for the ideas. It is an old commercial fridge turned into a smoker. So it is a vertical unit. Roughly 5 feet tall x30x24 is the chamber size. Heat and airflow should not be a problem, we have a burner that is good size. If I put 16 -10lb butts in their on four shelves, what do you...
