    MES & PBC

    Does anyone have a Pit Barrel Cooker (PBC) and a MES? If so, what do you prefer cooking in one or the other and why? Personally I love my PBC. However, it tends to run at 275+ and that's why I wanted to try the MES. I want to try cooking at 275 and below. I'd like to hear from folks that...

    30 vs 40 MES, Help me decide!

    Very nice! I'll keep me eye out for one of those! I wonder if it's tall enough to fit my PBC as well.

    Does Anyone Use Weber Lighter Cubes To Start Their AMNPS?

    I love the Weber cubes for lighting my chimney! I'll have to try this out out the AMNPS when I use it next time!

    30 vs 40 MES, Help me decide!

    I'm happy to hear that they are packed really well. I just got confirmation that it has been shipped and it should arrive not this weekend obviously but in time for next weekend. I think the best way to open these up is to open the bottom of the box, stand it up, and remove the box upwards...

    30 vs 40 MES, Help me decide!

    Yeah, the window wasn't high on the priority list to go with the 40. The extra room and wheels sealed the deal. My only concern is that it gets damaged in shipping. Crossing fingers it arrives safely.

    30 vs 40 MES, Help me decide!

    I ordered 40. Bigger, stainless, window, wheels and still a gen 1 with a spot for the AMNPS. Bigger and wheels were the true decision makers. :yahoo:

    Well that stinks. Clicking on the links doesn't seem to work right for me but copying and pasting the links works for some reason.

    Smoke Generation Questions

    Bear, That's the plan! I'm going to give it a try inside the MES before I determine I need an exterior mod. I have a Gen 1 from Ace with the rounded controller on top and the bars on the bottom to the left of the heater box. Kinda a version 1.5 in a way. Another user recommended that I...

    Hey from the Pacific Northwest!

    Mark, Sorry I just realized I unintentionally hijacked your thread thinking it was the one I posted LOL. I'm sorry! I thought your post was mine because we're both newbies here and both from the PNW and the titles are somewhat similar. My apologies!!!

    Greetings from Washington State

    Hello there! Just wanted to check in and introduce myself quickly. As the title indicates I'm located Washington state. Snohomish to be more precise. I found this site after an electric digital windowless "firstish"generation MES 30 followed me home from Ace Hardware the other day. I have...

    Smoke Generation Questions

    Alright, after much deliberation between the AMNPS and the Masterbuilt Cold Smoker I went with the AMNPS. I ordered it as a combo with the pellets and I ordered the mats as well directly from the A-Maze-N website. I like supporting small businesses when I can especially when they have...

    Smoke Generation Questions

    Gary, thank you for the information, I really appreciate it. I think I'll probably try the AMNPS on the lower left side of the smoker the first couple of times to see how it fares and make a determination if I'll need to go down the mailbox mod route. I probably will just because I like to...

    Smoke Generation Questions

    Ok, I'm new to the whole electric smoker world so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn. I picked up a Gen 1 MES 30 part # 20071814 for Ace hardware on special. It looked like a great way to enter this learning process. I completely understand that it is a PITA to add wood...

    Masterbuilt Digital Electric Smoker (20071814) on sale for $129.99.

    One of these followed me home yesterday on a whim. I figured it was $130 box of fun. I found this site while I was researching the unit. Questions: Is this considered a generation 1 unit? What are the differences between the generations and how can you easily identify one over the other? Will...
