    30 MES smoker element crapped out

    Mine too.  Sent me out a 2 new control panels and burner.  When that didn't fix my problem, sent me a new smoker.  Great customer service!

    New Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smoker

    A little rubbing alcohol and a paper towel will clean the window & light right up.  Works best if you do it when it's still warm.

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    The 5x8 Pellet Smoker is the right one.  You'll want pellets for it.  Dust doesn't work as well at higher temps.  A full tray of pellets will give you up to 10 hours of perfect smoke.  My favorite is the Pitmaster Blend.  Great smokey/sweet smell & taste.

    new at this smokin cooking not doing well

    I love chicken on my MES.  I use a buttermilk brine, Famous Dave's rib rub, & once it gets to 145 degrees I finish it on the grill.  Gotta agree with everyone else about using the AMNPS.  That and a Maverick remote thermometer make smoking easy & consistent.  The Pitmaster's Blend pellets on the...

    Smoke generating problems

    I had similar problems with my first MES.  It had electronics problems and the element ran almost all the time to get it up to temp.  Once Masterbuilt replaced that unit, my AMNPS worked great.  I still microwave my pellets for 90 seconds before I light them, but I probably don't need to, and...

    MES 40

    I've done pulled pork & brisket in my MES 40.  I've done them with & without the AMNPS, but the AMNPS sure makes it easier & puts a much more consistent (thin blue) smoke on the meat.  Both have come out incredible in the in the MES 40, and the burnt ends were the best ever.

    Remote on Masterbuilt 40" smoker

    Yeah mine from Sams had the remote last year.  Either way, I almost never use the remote.  I use a Maverick thermometer & the only thing the mes remote comes in handy for is occasionally bumping the temp up or down a bit.  But that's so rare that I need to do it, that it's not a hassle at all to...

    Almost There

    Alcohol & a paper towel work great to clean the glass & light while the unit is still warm.

    MES Customer Service - The Rest Of The Story

    MB customer service is the best.  After monkeying with my mes 40 for almost a year, it still never worked like it should.  Jamie in customer service sent me out 2 new control panels, a new burner, & finally a new mes.  That seems to me like a company that goes above & beyond for what's a...

    AMNPS and Pitmaster pellets. Darn it!

    I love the Pitmaster Blend!  Just did a Sirloin Tip roast the other day that turned out incredible!!!

    What to do, what to do

    I love chicken in my mes.  I smoke it til it reaches 145, then throw it the grill for a 2 or 3 minutes on each side.  Comes out great every time.

    PItmaster's Blend Pellets Now Available!!

    These pellets are incredible! I swore by the Perfect Mix before, but these blow them away.  Still the same sweet smell/flavor, but these burn so much easier!

    MB Cust. Service comes through

    Just got off the phone with Masterbuilt Customer Service.  My MES 40 turns out great food, but I've had problems from day 1 with it never getting up to temp, or staying at temp.  After 3 control panels & 2 elements, they're sending me out a new one.  Won't be the new model everyone's waiting to...

    MES 30 SMOKE IN GARAGE MODIFICATION, THOUGHTS?

    I have mine in the garage.  I just open the garage door and a small window above my mes.  Makes the garage, kitchen, my car & most of the house smell incredible.

    New AMNS pellet blend

    Tested a new blend of pellets the other night on some chicken.  Before, I'd been sold on using the Perfect Blend on just about everything.  But this new Pitmaster's Blend took what I liked about that & made it better.  It's a blend of Hickory, Maple, & Cherry, and has the same sweet smell &...

    MasterBuilt

    Too many chips at a time will do that.  Easiest most reliable way is to get the AMNPS instead of chips.  10hrs of thin blue smoke without having to reload. 
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
