    Masterbuilt340G vs Smoke Tronix

    I have went back and fourth on this for a while. I can get a MES 340g at the local SamsClub for $330 or I could order the Smoke Tronix for 445.00 at Walmart.com or Home Depot. I like one with a stand because I’m 6ft6 lol. I’ve owned a Masterbuilt before it lasted me a long time. I like to use...

    Used Masterbuilt Gen 2

    Been in the market for a electric after my Masterbuilt Gen 1 gave up the ghost. Found a Gen 2 40inch Masterbuilt with the 12000 watt heater for $200.00 looks to be in good shape. Going to look at it this evening. It is on a stand and has the cold smoker attachment. What do you guys think decent...

    Masturbuilt CS kit vs A-Maze-n pellet tray???

    I love a electric smoker for the ease of use. But you can’t beat a stick burner for flavor. I actually considered a Treager before I got my electric glad I didn’t get one. Guess I’m switching pellets

    Masturbuilt CS kit vs A-Maze-n pellet tray???

    Daricksta I have a 30 in Gen 1 I think I have the 5by7 Amps tray. I’m going to step up to a 40inch smoker. I’m debating between a Mes Gen 2.5 and the Smoke Tronix . I read a article that Masterbuilt owns Smoke Tronix or Smoke Hollow who makes them. Yes the fan works good. I light my tray with a...

    AMNPS location in MES

    In my humble opion if you use the AMPS tray . It is cheaper because you can buy pellets cheaper and in a big bag. I buy the Treager 40 lb bag of hickory and apple at rural king for 14 bucks.So it last longer. But wood chips aren’t that much really. But my main reason I like smoking briskets and...

    Masturbuilt CS kit vs A-Maze-n pellet tray???

    I have used the Amps tray for 2 yrs and I also use the treager pellets. One gentleman said the CS kit is for cold smoking I think he is right. I’ve never heard the Treager pellets use filler wood I will look into that. I always have good flavor. I like them because there relatively cheap and a...

    AMNPS location in MES

    Hey TGO Is your vent on top or on the side on that model. I had a Gen1 with the vent on the top back right. I put my AMAZEN tray on the edge of the water pan and covered the bottom rack with aluminum foil. I also left my wood chip loader half way open it has to breathe and have air or it won’t...

    Most Durable Electric Smoker

    I appreciate it. I had the Gen1 30 inch for about 2 yrs. It worked good but when it caught fire I had went to the store. Got home after inspection on the very bottom of the smoker there is a cover for the element wiring. The cover was split from heat I guess and the wires were burnt. I wonder if...
