    Stupid questions about new Pit Boss from a concerned noob

    Well, to you certainly were right about the great service. I called them and they quickly said they'd like to send me new grates, and a tube of the high heat caulk they use so I can fill in the gaps. The caulk is inside the fire box along a lot of the bottom seams. My guess is that it's to...

    Stupid questions about new Pit Boss from a concerned noob

    Yes that's what I meant. Well that's encouraging then. I believe that was one of the other Pit Boss units that was there. I've seen some decent reviews of the one I got, so I'm thinking the design and so on is probably good enough. I'll call Pit Boss and run those concerns by them and see...

    Stupid questions about new Pit Boss from a concerned noob

    I responded to Jake, which addresses the idea of me being uncomfortable. As far as that thread goes, is that not an entirely different unit? I guess I'm not entirely following what light I'm supposed to be picking up here. Are you indicating that all Pit Boss smokers are junk or something...

    Stupid questions about new Pit Boss from a concerned noob

    No it's brand new, and a friend grabbed one too and I believe I saw the caulk in his as well. Didn't check the coverage though. I'll give them a call and update with my findings. Regarding the "don't like to start out" comment, I would definitely agree when it comes to things where I...

    Stupid questions about new Pit Boss from a concerned noob

    Hi all, I've got what I imagine are probably some stupid, overly-worried questions, but if by some chance one of these things ends up mattering, I'm going to be pissed at myself for not asking. I've never owned a smoker or done any smoking, so I'm in brand new territory. I just went out and...

    New Masterbuilt Charcoal Cabinet Digital

    Yep that's the one. Still not worth it if it doesn't work well. Hoping for a MES 40 deal in the near future.

    New Masterbuilt Charcoal Cabinet Digital

    Yep, that's kinda what I've been seeing in the various reviews too. I was considering it because of a deal that just got posted, but it sounds like a pass to me. Thanks for the quick response!

    New Masterbuilt Charcoal Cabinet Digital

    Hey guys, just wanted to check and see if there's any more info about this smoker you may have to offer. Do you recommend it? Sounds like it probably isn't a very good set-and-forget type of unit based on what I'm seeing so far.

    Masterbuilt Smokers (Bear’s Thoughts & Findings)

    Ok I think maybe I'll offer him a bit less than $70. But honestly, in my area, 40" units just don't really come up very much, so I may just see go for it regardless. Thank you so much for the info!

    Masterbuilt Smokers (Bear’s Thoughts & Findings)

    Unfortunately I'm over on Lake Erie about an hour south of Buffalo, which puts me about 6 hours from you, but that's very cool of you to offer, so thanks! Appreciate the information as well! Happy 4th!

    Masterbuilt Smokers (Bear’s Thoughts & Findings)

    Hi there, I have shot at buying a 20075315 for $70 used, which I see is the 40" Gen 2. Based on the info here, I'd need to remove the slanted drip plate, remove the water tray, put in the bottom rack and toss a 9x12 foil water / drip pan on it. That sounds fine but I'm wondering if there is...

    Converting my masterbuilt pro dual fuel smoker to digital/electric smoker......I NEED HELP!!!!!!

    Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I was just wondering if you were successful. I just snagged one of the Masterbuilt Dual Fuel smokers, but have yet to open or use it, b/c I'm trying to figure out if it's what I want. I live near Buffalo NY so I'm a bit concerned about the comment regarding...

    Masterbuilt electric smokers: 20078715 for $125 or 20071117 for $100?

    Are these things what you guys are referring to? https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=14_28 Sorry if this is a dumb question, but at $200 or so, isn't it just better to buy another brand new smoker? I think that's about the price of new ones.

    Masterbuilt electric smokers: 20078715 for $125 or 20071117 for $100?

    The electrical issues are one of the things that's making me drag my feet. The warranty isn't likely to be available on any of the units I'm looking at - even the new units are through a third party, which probably means they are already out of that time window. My recollection is that the...

    Masterbuilt Bluetooth Digital Electric Smoker with Broiler. vent question

    Hey this is the model that I'm looking at buying for $125 right now. Wondering how your experience has been with it.

    Masterbuilt electric smokers: 20078715 for $125 or 20071117 for $100?

    Thanks guys, I'll scratch the used one, but I have a curveball for ya now. The new contender is seemingly a MB26073519 for $125 (at least that is my guess based on the pictures, which I've attached, below.) It's brand new, no box. Guessing it probably doesn't have the stand. I do like the...

    Masterbuilt electric smokers: 20078715 for $125 or 20071117 for $100?

    Hi there, I have a shot at buying a very slightly used 20078715 for $125 or a brand new 20071117 for $100. They seem like very similar units, but I figured I should ask the authorities on the matter. For the record, I'm brand new to smoking and am interested in low cost, easy to maintain, and...
