Looks good! I wonder how the "aftermarket" control systems people are building are going to hold up over time relative to Masterbuilt's controls. I'm guessing that most well designed/built ones will hold up better over time, but that will take a while to get any data on.
I'm of the opinion that the thing being judged (the food) should be the only thing that matters. If that guy over there is making the best BBQ with his pellet smoker, or an electric smoker, or a weber kettle, or an offset smoker, or a UDS, etc, then they should be the one winning BBQ...
Two years and 4 days ago, this was the news http://news.yahoo.com/atlanta-s--snowpocalypse--turned-ordinary-commutes-into-chaos-and-confusion-174131033.html
Today it's 68 and sunny...
First off I want to say that what I'm about to describe was my fault, and only my fault. It was not due to a design problem by either Masterbuilt or A-Maze-N.
That said, here's the story...
So, I wanted to do an overnight smoke. I also didn't want to tend it so I planned on using my 5x8...
Oil/fat separator for making sauces/gravies/etc is one of the essentials I'd add that I didn't see anyone mention. I'm a big fan of making them from scratch and a lot of the time it's too oily/fatty if you don't separate it out for my tastes.

Definitions of steam include both pure water vapor as wells as water vapor mixed with liquid water droplets (feel free to google "steam definition" if you don't believe me though..). The latter is visible, the former is not. While from an engineering or industrial standpoint...
Did the baker really bake that cake? After all, the oven maintained the temp once the baker set it...
Oh wait, there is more to cooking (with any method) than maintaining temps.... So yes, he smoked it ;)
Mine has gotten wet from rain while smoking before without issue, if you have a top vent you might be better off rigging an umbrella or something to block some of the rain though, I keep mine under a bit of an overhang when smoking in the rain most of the time though. Shouldn't be a problem even...
p.s. if you are scared of nitrites and similar substances, don't smoke your meat... nitrite (NO2), NO, and NO3 (nitrate) are also produced as byproducts of combustion so avoid burning wood and just heat with electric elements and avoid any actual combustion process when cooking.... that "smoke...
I was medically discharged.. i.e. my medical problems were bad enough I couldn't continue to serve.... 3 friends with sleep apnea finished their time in service (2 retired, one out after 8 years) and all three of them have higher disability ratings than I do (thanks in large part to some really...
IF you're still active duty ensure every bit of this stuff is documented in your medical record. If you aren't, see if they can link it to active duty. Sleep apnea is pretty much an automatic 50% disability rating with the VA....
