    MASTERBUILT XL

    ok... i have debated for 6 months....and the choice i made was the Masterbuilt XL due to many factors, but especially the size (1300+ sq. in.) and the price... $179 @ BPS. However, I fear this will be much less "set it and forget it" than the electric models but we shall see. I am NEW to the...

    THANKS DELTADUDE..... I may have been talking about the propane models and the 8" skillet. Everything you said makes sense....  so...1.  AMNPS a must.  not hard to figure out right?  rails give the AMNPS air to keep it goin?        2.  Maverick probe a must        3.  12 ga.  extension cord...

    thanks S2K9K.... if i don't get the AMNPS for a while should i use the 8" skillet?. ALSO, i am looking at the New Generation MES 40" - i thought i saw somewhere on here that the AMNPS didn't work well on that model?

    CAJUN INJECTOR vs. MASTERBUILT 30"

    i am kind of in the same boat... looking for an electric "set it & forget it" - i am leaning toward the MES 40 ( $299 @ Sams) because of the 1200w - even though it wont crisp up chicken - i have been told that all other meats are great! i have heard the 1200w recovers much more quickly.    i...

    NEW MES 40 WATTAGE?

    thanks deltadude... sorry for SHOUTING earlier...LOL so other than chicken / turkey skin, it is a worthy investment? i am gonna try to get the 40" at Sam's club for $299.... but 179 for the 30" at BPS is appealing. However, like my garage, i will always wish i would have gone bigger.   may...

    NEW MES 40 WATTAGE?

    is the wattage on the new generation MES 30" is 800?  so other than bark on poultry... this will fit my needs for fatties, ribs, loins, etc....? i also have the Charbroil Big Easy to crisp some stuff up.....
