I assume temp probe is the probe that tells the controller when it's at temp? Not the food temp probe?

Have had a Masterbuilt 560 for exactly a year today. Noticed recently that it wouldn't heat up beyond 450 or 500. Opened a ticket with Masterbuilt and started jumping thru the hoops to try and get it fixed before the warranty ran out. "Does the fan run?" "Hook the fan directly to the...

I have the Dyna-glo 30" electric, and actually think I like it better than several MES smokers I've had over the years. I did notice that it seemed to not be putting out much smoke, like you mentioned. My simple quick fix? I dug thru my box of nuts and bolts and ect, and found a metal spacer...

I might get burned here for this one, but when replacing my last MES, I bought something on Amazon called a DynaGlo 30". The honest truth? I think I like it better than the MES, and I've had several of those. Due to a credit from Amazon for a dented door (No effect on how it works.), I ended...

So I should cook at a lower temp in the pellet smoker? Dang, I was going to go higher to finish quicker. As far as time, I don't pay much attention to that....just get the internal to 165.

Got a new pellet smoker, upgrading from my MES. Tried a couple of skinless turkey breasts today, something I've made DOZENS of in my MES and they turn out awesome. In the pellet smoker at 250-275 degrees for 3 hours up to 165 internal. Light smoke ring, with almost no smoke flavor. I think I...

TONS of info here, but still need something a bit more specific. I have scored some 10 pound boneless turkey breasts from a friend in the restaurant business. For years I have wondered where the BBQ joints and Caterers got their turkey breast, now I have some!! I want to do some of the...

Wow, they will come up a whole 10 degrees??  Do you wrap them in foil?  What happens if they fall short, say 162?  Still eat them?

Done a batch of 6 chicken breasts a few days ago, and was BOUND AND DETERMINED to make it moist. (Have always had that problem with poultry!)  I brined them for an hour or two, then covered them with rub, and tossed into the smoker (Masterbuilt Electric) at a higher than normal temp for me.  Set...

Got my A-maze-n smoker this weekend.  Popped it in and burned oil off for about 30 minutes.  Filled with Hickory sawdust, and smoked 2 trays of cheese for about 4 1/2 hours.  Only burned about 1 row of sawdust!  Nice thin blue smoke coming out the exaust, temp never got above 55 inside the...

That the fear, the one at the Cover Store is probably more durable.....it better be with a 3 year warranty.....Although I'm sure a tear wouldn't be a Warranty issue.

What does the cover from the Masberbuilt for the 40" look like....is it pretty durable looking material? I had a Bradley cover for my 30", and it didn't last too long.....need to protect my 40" better. Does it look as durable as this one? http://www.the-cover-store.com/item_...=Grill%2BBrand...

I've actually decided to pick up the Masterbuilt with the glass window at Sam's Club this weekend, and purchase the extra warranty with it. For future reference, anyone buying a Masterbuilt 30" at Lowe's or Wal Mart (Or any other retailer for that matter...), you can get a 3 year Warranty from...

Have read the threads here about the wiring problems with the Masterbuilt 30".....I have the same problem with my 2 1/2 year old Masterbuilt. I called Tanya at Masterbuilt yesterday hoping to find a solution, here's what she told me: She said that I could buy a new 'Body' for the smoker, for...

Just wondering if anyone has tried the recipie? If so, how did you like it?
