I would say that the smoker is fine. Its just the way it operates. At low setting might be 150o once it settles down. Med setting 200o and high 250o. Puting holes in it will only increase the temp. due to electric smokers cycle like an oven. You could get a PID. That will help keep temps down...
Thanks for the replys.
Fixer: I wanted to keep that vent usable incase I neede more air flow into the grill for the amnps to work. It also alows me to use it as normal after closing up the hole I cut in.
JD07: I had a smoker just like that. I gave it to a friend who was just getting into...
I would agree with to much heat or to close to it. You didn't mention what type of heat you used (propane,charcoal or electric).
My mix for sausage is #20 of veni to #5 of pork scrap that I get from the butcher.
What IT temp did you pull it at and how long did you cook it makes a big...
After all the problems with my mes40. Finaly geting time to do a smoke. I purchased a pid and ssr. Wired the smoker and now have it running. I purchased a pellet smoker a mav 732 and some pellets from Todd.
Last Fri. I pulled out #14 of veni for jerky. Sat. morning before work had to get...
For a first jerky smoke. The meat looks great. I have learned myself how fast it can go.
I also use scewers. Picked up 20ft of stainless .25in rolled. Cut to fit smoker. Seems I get more meat and a better consistancy while smoking.
I may be way out of line. After reading jimbo's post. He states that the "flame", goes out when he puts it in the box.
If I am not mistaken that, that is what should happen (flame goes out) that will then produce the blue smoke.
I am ordering a box from Todd today. Just not sure which...
With my mes kit I just shim it. Easy in and out. Very little loss of smoke at that point.
Do you turn the kit off after smoke rolling? I have been with good results. I take the tray from the kit out and place foil on the bottom. Also if breezy I use the tray as a damper.
I have mixed chips...

That looks MARVOULUS.
Have cooked plenty oh hind qtrs on a weber charcoal and turned out awsome.
Haven't yet tried to smoke the heart or liver. But they go well with onions
Save your money and not purchase any masterbuilt smokers.
I am finished with this new unit. I am on a replacement. 3/4 way through a smoke it won't keep temp. I raise the temp and only max out at 140o. I have never had this kind of trouble before. Time to cut losses.
After more than 7hrs of re-heating the meat. I am still not close to being finished. I can't get the heat on this junk smoker. At first things were moving according to plan. Then I had a stall. I left the dang thing for over an hour. Found that my link of sausage had lost 6o. I increased the...
Well after having to go back to hosp this morning. Now back home from. Am going to re-heat the meat. starting at 50o. Then jump to 100o for 30 min. Then work up to my normal heating temps.
Thank you for your replies. Will let know how it all pans out. I am thinking that the sausage may be...
Started a cold smoke on ven jerky and a beef sausage link. Had 5hrs on the smoke and turned temps up to 155. Had the 2.5in cased roll up to 102o and had to shut it down, do to haveing to take wife to hosp. (All ok TU)
I did have cure in the meat. I shut it down with door open till we returned...
