    How well do you know your smoker?

    Sometimes they put all GFCI rated outlets on one circuit. My house is like this. Luck for me, they are on a dedicated 20 MAP breaker.

    entry level smoker

    MES is a great option. AMNPS needs to accompany that for hassle free smoking. Unless he wants to add chips every 30 minutes

    Masterbuilt MES 35B MB20070210

    I had this exact thing happen to my MES. Masterbuilt sent me a new smoker...it did the same thing. I agree, it's pretty off putting. My solution was to wire brush the inside area where the paint is and apply a gasket like they have on a Green Egg around the door. Several smokes later, you...

    Do you clean your smoker to reduce Creosote taste? I have MES and I wondering if I should?

    I just wipe down after each smoke with a clean damp rag to get any loose buildup off. That’s it. Keep the season!!

    MES 40 Gen 1 (20070211) Wet chips or no?

    Get an AMNPS and get 10 hours of consistent smoke. No more loading chips...ever.

    Wanting a new Smoker

    How big do you want it? Electrics rely on little elements for heat. I have yet to see a much larger electric smoker than the MES that isn't commercial or really high priced.

    MES140S Mixed reviews?

    I bought the MES 140. For the money, you wont find a better smoker. Got an AMNPS and an Auber PID and its pretty flawless. When this unit eventually goes, I will buy a Smokin It. That smoker is roughly 4X the cost of the MES. The MES will do you well as long as you understand it's...
