    MES 40 rebuild - back insulation replacement?

    I'm rebuilding my MES 40 and basically only keeping the cabinet itself and the heating element. Using an Auber 1520 PID controller, an Auber circulation fan, and adding a rotisserie as well. The insulation on the back is mostly good but is uneven and bulged out in some spots so the back cover...

Cabela's has them for $24 right now. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/masterbuilt-rotisserie-kit Has anyone attempted such a surgery before? Seems like it would...

No that I won't have to be babysitting the wood chips and checking every hour or so, what's the best way to know if the smoke goes out for whatever reason? I saw in another post where someone used...

    MES Control Panel visibility issue

    I have a recently acquired MES 40 20070407 that I've done a few smokes on so far. The first thing I had to do with it is replace the control panel as the original one's LEDs were defective due to heat and smoke exposure. The main issue I have with it now is that you can't see it in daylight...
