    MES Digital Smokers

    Well some time has passed and I would say I am VERY happy with the way the 30" has performed. However if out of the gate your already wondering how many butts you can cram into the 30" I have to agree with all the others, go with the 40" model. Just my 2 cents worth :biggrin:

    Hi Geerock, Yep that solved it. I opened the vent fully and it ran like a champ. The water issue was solved and I was happy with the amount of smoked taste  with the ber can chicken. (sorry no Qview this time). Thanks everyone Kurt

    Ok Finished my first set of boneless ribs. So here are my impressions..... 1) I noticed that it ran really humid and a fair amount of water ran down the door while it was running and leaked out onto the floor.  I checked the unit to be sure it was level but this seemed to make no difference...

    Hi Got my new smoker last weekend. 2nd gen 30" MES. I seasoned it Thursday and it ran for 4 hours without a hitch. I am not positive but believe the meat thermo and the internal temp thermo are 2 different sensors. When I checked them (at 275 F) they agreed within 1 F which I was happy to see...

    Thanks Bear, Sounds like I need to look into the AMNPS. I hear a lot of good things about them! Kurt

    So I ordered the  Masterbuilt 30'' Electric Smokehouse with Viewing Window 2nd gen. model : 20070312. It should be ready for me to pick up at BPS  in about a week. I am hoping to do the trial run with a brisket, after I season the smoker. I have heard some people will light a couple of...

    I suspect part the problem with extension cords may be that often they could be of a smaller wire gauge than the actual circuit itself so its has a lower ampacity. Then take a long wire run (from a house out to a detached garage plus say a 100 ft extension cord) you could start getting voltage...

    The outlet in the garage close to the door is a great idea. I put a panel out there years ago so there are no shortage of outles.  Kurt

    LOL thats a good one Bear. No I am just being cautious. I really do want an electric one and have no interest in a propane smoker. I do have a cabinet type charcoal smoker that I like for doing ribs I just figured electric would be a whole lot easier for long runs. I am interested in a 30"...

    Hi, My buddy has an older style MES smoker he leaves covered but out to the weather here in Boston. It has not done well at all and the hinges are rusting badly he says (after about 3 seasons). I am not surprised. That has also been my experience with grills left out all summer under cover...

    Yes thanks, that's my question its the 2nd generation smokers I am inquiring about. I heard many good things about the previous generation. I see the 2nd gen at BPS and have a bunch of gift cards but several of the reviews there seem to say they didnt work when they got them.  Thanks Kurt
