       You might just get lucky. My luck is not so good. Received mine in the mail week. Will pay it and send the bill onto MB with the RA number they gave me.

      Well instead of just saying the MES probes are untrustworthy I went out and tested mine with my camping stove and some H2O. 800' elevation here so it should read around 210f. The MES probe came in at 209f. More accurate than my maverick when I first got it. ;)    Smoker is working as...

    Not sure how big your porch is but boil a pot on the stove with the maverick and carry it out to the Mes.  One thing I've noticed with Mes is a constant attempt at improvements. My Mes probe is within 3f, good enough for me. Only worry is longevity, looks like a real "Bear" to replace. LOL

    Hold the probe side by side with a maverick and poke it in some meat. If the two temps are close while smoking something for 10 hours then the Mes is accurate.    Or how about the boiling water test. Everyone says to do the boiling water test on the maverick, why not the Mes?

    Fedex sends a bill around 3 weeks later. $10 brokerage fee and taxes. I order RC parts from the US and it's the norm. I got a surprise too today. Opened my front door and there sitting on my steps is my smoker. Masterbuilt shipped it to the billing address instead of the shipping address. I...
