    Installing MES 40" Gen2 Replacement Controllers?

    The first controller had temp issues so they sent me another.  That one didn't work with my remote so it had to be replaced.  In the mean time I had to use the smoker and since it was 0 degrees outside I replaced the one I installed that didn't work with the remote with the old one that did. ...

    Installing MES 40" Gen2 Replacement Controllers?

    I've replaced mine three times so far and it's easy to do. 1. Remove the six screws that hold the trim piece on.  One at each end and four on the bottom of the panel between the door and trim piece.  Carefully lift the trim piece off by pulling from the bottom and tipping it forward.  The...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    My screen name is dedicated to my late, great Golden Retreiver Sierra who passed away last year.  You can guess her favorite beverage.

    Well I received my replacement controller today and installed it in my MES 40.  I thought I was going to get a replacement remote also since the remote I originally had didn't work with the second controller I got.  No remote in the box.  Oh we'll.  I unpacked the new controller and the first...

    Green Mountain Grills

    I've had my GMG DB for almost a month now and done probably three cooks a week on it.  That includes in temps near or below zero.  I am very pleased with the quality of the food it produces and once you get to know the pit virtually anything is possible.  The only bomb I've had so far is a butt...

    Chinese Made Grills

    I want to say that my GMG grill is the best grill I have ever owned.  The reason I brought up this issue is that another poster took the opportunity to bash Chinese made products as junk.  My GMG grill is not junk.  GMG has done a great job of creating a product with the features and quality...

    Chinese Made Grills

    The real problem to me is that US manufacturers want to lower costs.  They feel it can't be done here so they go where labor is cheap.  Apple is a big player here in their Foxxconn plant.  If we we're willing to pay more for US made products then they would be made here.  If you want a decent...

    They build to the design they are given.  Bad design=bad product.  If the manufacturer has his act together they have an on site rep to verify the components and build quality.  My company deals everyday with China and if we send bad designs they build bad product.  That's how it works.

    Chinese Made Grills

    I have a GMG Daniel Boone w/remote.  I know it's made in China as are other pellet grills. I realize the they aren't made with the same quality that the US made grills are.  That's just the nature of the beast.  What I don't understand is the vitriol that some folks have for overseas grills.  My...

    Well here is the followup to my issue with Masterbuilt and my controller/remote replacement.  I spoke with them yesterday (2/20/13) and asked when the components would be coming.  The new date for shipping is................. 10 days to two weeks.  The same as two weeks ago.  This time the...

    Just got off the phone with Masterbuilt

    I am trying to find out where my replacement controller and remote are.  It was ordered about three weeks ago and I was told it would be there within two weeks.  It's not here so I made a call.  What I found out was that MB has put a hold on shipping any controllers out until they can be...

    My New Grill Came Today

    Here are the results of my first cook on the GMG DB. I think it turned out pretty well considering its the first item I've turned out on this grill. One thing I've not had in my other smoker is a nice smoke ring. I got it this time. The picture isn't the best but you get the idea.

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

    I've been waiting for about three weeks also for a new remote/controller combination. The last controller worked but wouldn't sync with my remote. They told me that they were going to send a new set that would be checked for comparability at the company. So I'll call on Monday and see what...

    My New Grill Came Today

    The is the first picture of the new GMG DB. At this point it's still uninitiated into the pellet grill club. It was christened today with two butt roasts. I forgot to take pictures of that.
