    Disappointed with amount of smoke; bought a master built electric 40" added updated part sent by mas

    If you mod it only put about 10 3/16 holes under the flange and soak your chips, that will get a couple hours of good smoke.

    The holes aren't much above the oven inlet in the lower chamber, without the holes it has to go down below the heating element and back up. Doesn't get much smoke flow. The hot smoke and air vent above the element this way into the oven. With out the holes the hot smoke can only get smothered in...

    Yes start with half as many soak the chips for 30 minutes and that will do. My Ribs tasted great with a heavy applewood smoke flavor, Chicken I will cut the smoke off at 45 minutes.  I'm happy this thing actually smokes now. Like it should have. Pellets burn to hot. This is great I get a ton of...

    MES Cold Smoke Kit Modification. It now smokes like a Drunken Sailor

    The other benefit to this mod is I'm getting heat into the oven from the chips and external heater, so my element in the oven is coming on less. Temp is holding good. Cant beat this thing, I got a 40"  version 1 for $179 new and free ship too. I have a gen 2 also. Needs a new element then I may...

    Failed rib attempt

    Im doing the 3-2-1 at 210-220 and they be Yummy. Almost fallen off the bone. Check the temp close maybe your thermometer is off. I do three racks at a time which is 4 meals. So I remove all but 1 pack after 2 hours in the foil. I open 1 pack for another 45 minutes. Reheat those saved at 350 for...

    MES Cold Smoke Kit Modification. It now smokes like a Drunken Sailor

    I normally am smoking ribs or tri-tip so I wanted more smoke. It smokes now. I will figure how to choke it down some. If I leave the chip cap off very long she flames up. So I just spritz a little aqua down there. I can't do the pipe as it will block a walkway. I have two smokers maybe on the...

    MES Cold Smoke Kit Modification. It now smokes like a Drunken Sailor

    Disappointed with the amount of smoke time in my MES 40" Electric, I added the cold smoke kit and was more disappointed, It burned a lot of chips but I didn't get much more smoke. 4 Years later a DUH moment came upon me! Heat travels up and so does the smoke right out of the chip holder cap into...

    Here ya go! Chips burn faster now but I get major amounts of smoke. Wetting the chips it goes for 2 hours, 1 hour dry.  I need a sliding plate to choke it down  and adjust flow. This thing before didn't get much smoke in the oven and seemed to just burn chips. Now its too muchsmoke for some but...
