    MES130b and AMNPS placement

    Mailbox type mod works best in my experience (6 years with masterbuilt) It allows more airflow and the pellets don’t get dripped on.

    MES 140S - Good Price?

    This is my first one with a window and light, but honestly I could do without both. Good info on the light mod, if I ever decide I need to see in there I might do it lol. I’ve also discovered that cooking hot and fast at 275-295 really suits my taste buds

    MES 140S - Good Price?

    199 at academy is likely the best deal you will find. I have that model, and I’ll share my thoughts. The light inside is useless. The window must be cleaned regularly to be useful, I don’t bother. I upgraded the controls right after I got it to an auber WiFi and added a mailbox mod of sorts. It...

    Masterbuilt MOD help

    Light both ends of the pellet tray. I prefer hickory maple cherry blend pellets, but straight hickory gives the most flavor imo.

    Commercial Restaurant Smokers Electric

    I was surprised when it happened, and I called them about it. The max adjustment is 9 degrees and although I hit the limit it fell within tolerance.

    Oh I should have also mentioned, calibrate your probes and mark them. The adjustments you make in the app follow the port you plug the probe into. Mine were off 5-9 degrees at boiling temp.

    You bet! Get a feel for it prior to running the autotune. As I said before, since I did it I get 1 degree accuracy
