    MES replacement problem

    I got my 40" MES replacement from Masterbuilt yesterday. I seasoned it according to the manual and everything went fine. This morning I got a couple of racks of ribs ready, set the temp for 230 degrees. Well, its been 90 minutes and it won't go above 165. Any ideas?

    My baby has issues

    Got my replacement today. It's the same one that I had, not the newer model with the window. I can't understand why I had to wait since last October for them to send me out the same unit. How can the "old" version suddenly be in stock when they have been replaced with the new one? I'm happy I...

    Genoa Salami Question

    I made some Genoa Salami using Len Poli's recipe. It's been hanging in the cellar and is "supposed" to be done on the 15th of this month. There is no offensive odor coming form it and the casing has not hardened, which I think is a good sign. But, I thought It would be getting some fine white...

    My baby has issues

    Ktotheb, I got a call from Masterbuilt asking me what kind of "feet" I had on the bottom of my defective 40"er. I told the lady I had removed the feet in favor of casters and had no idea. She told me they would be sending me a brand new unit instead of the body kit. I think this was because my...

    Ribs in MES ???

    I don't mop nor foil them. For spares, I dry rub them, put them on at about 230 degrees for about 6-7 hours and sauce them after they are done. For babybacks I leave them on for about 5-6 hours.

    My baby has issues

    They will not send anything out until they get the plug and serial plate back. I was supposed to get my body kit in January after calling in October. I never sent those parts back until last week and got a call from Masterbuilt they would be sending me a brand new smoker, not just the body kit.

    MES gasket broken

    I got a call yesterday from Masterbuilt asking me which direction the feet pointed on my defective unit. I didn't have the feet because they were replaced with casters. They told me they would be shipping me a brand new complete unit instead of a body kit. Here comes the greed in me now. I...

    Smoked Kielbasa question

    Well, I bumped the temp up to 180 and pulled the sausages around 3:30 am. It's a good thing I'm retired and have no life!! I was afraid things were going to be dry, but they turned out pretty good. Thanks again for your input.

    Smoked Kielbasa question

    I'm using a Bradley 4 rack digital unit because my MES is broke.I made a batch yesterday and they were in my 4 rack digital for around 9 hours. The results were very good. So, today I put another batch in to smoke and they have been in there for 11 hours and seem to be stuck on 135 degrees...

    MES gasket broken

    The email I got says they are going to send out a body kit. Does this mean no shelves or internal parts? And. do you think they will send out the new model, with the window?

    MES gasket broken

    Ron, I called and spoke to Kim. The problem with the replacement was an email, that I don't remember getting. They want the power cord, serial plate and receipt and will send out a new unit. Thank you Ron and Masterbuilt!

    MES gasket broken

    CS was supposed to send me out a new unit in January because of heating problems with the unit. They were going to send me a 30" replacement last October, but I opted to wait 'till January for the 40" replacement. That never happened. So, I don't think they will do anything about a measly gasket...

    MES gasket broken

    I have a 40" MES and the gasket is all ripped off the door. Any idea where I can get a new one or what I can use in it's place? Thanks

    Bradley Smoker

    I just took the smoke generator apart and reseated some of the internal wires. I haven't got a clue what I was doing, just doing it! BUT--- now everything is working great. After a year of owning it, I'm finally going to be able to try the thing out. I got kind of spoiled using my 40" MES. I...

    Bradley Smoker

    I'm having just the opposite problem with my 4 rack digital. The smoke generator works fine, advances the pucks and burns them, but the smoker cabinet heat element will not get hot. When I plug the tower in directly, the element glows and heats up. All the cables and plugs seem seated properly...
