    Auber WS-1510ELPM & MES 30

    You will need to bypass the internal control relay on the MES. From there, yes. You plug your MES into the Auber. Super easy mod that was just detailed out on a post here last week. Takes about 10 minutes

    MES 40 Toxic Fire

    I’ve had issues with mine. From what I have been told, the quality used to be much better. When this one goes, I will purchase a Smokin It.

    Looking for wiring assistance - MES 30 20071317

    If you look close at the board, the blue and white neutral are on the same terminal. Some guys even install a switch so you can have external control (Auber) or the factory MES control. My MES temp was so far off I decided to go Auber and never look back

    Looking for wiring assistance - MES 30 20071317

    I’ve done this exact mod. The only thing you need to do is wire nut the black and red wires that are on the relay. Super simple.

    New MES 40, Pellets vs Chips? Thermometer vs probe?

    Congrats on your purchase. I have the MES 40 as well and love it. While the MES is a great unit, it does have its shortcomings. To start...smoke generation. I have an AMNPS tray and love it. After 2-3 times smoking and putting chips in every 30 minutes or so is for the birds. Fill the...

    Which smoker to keep?

    She's sitting in my garage currently. I just hate the window!! I'm in Florida so I can't let ya have it. TBH, I would let it go super cheap. I've only been smoking for a few months and I have to say I love it. If letting someone else have it and enjoy smoking, I'm good with that.

    Which smoker to keep?

    Thanks Bear for your input. Yes, I see with the vent on the same side as the heat source that being somewhat inefficient. I wish they made a Gen 2.5 without a window in a 40” unit. I have nothing but good reviews of this unit. It has turned out some pretty good eats.

    Which smoker to keep?

    Thanks Bear. I’ve actually decided to keep the 140B. I just don’t like the window. I really don’t have a use for it. So I’ve read through your descriptions on different Gen units. Why do you say this is a Gen 1? It has the 2 level drip pan and slanted shield for the heater element. I...
