    Powering a Masterbuilt 30" smoker from a light socket adapter?

    I have a 2000 watt smoke machine that I use in a local theater production with a 100' heavy duty extension cord. That is about twice the current drain, but it is intermittent, not continuous as with a cooker. It is a heavy duty outdoor 12/3 AWG as Chef Jimmy J recommended and works just fine so...

    Stainless steel water pan

    Throw away pie tin sounds like a great idea.  I'll look for some about the right size at Wally World.  Would go a long way toward making clean-up simpler.  I don't really need that 4th rack most of the time and having a pan above the water filled one sounds like a good idea.  Should spread the...

    New Maasterbuilt 40 w/ no instruction booklet

    My 40" with Window and Remote also came with no instructions.  Fortunately I found this site where you can get good info.  Oh, we are on this site!  Lucky you.  You found it too.  Looks like all you need is more meat to fill that thing up!  I primarily cook chicken in mine.  Get 3 or 4 10#...

    Powering a Masterbuilt 30" smoker from a light socket adapter?

    Lots of luck on that "capital improvement" thing.  Don't know of many landlords that would buy that one, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Opened it up today.  Wow, they really don't want you fixing these things!  Relay is on a PCB that is stuck in the bottom of that access box on the bottom in a pool of white silicone sealant.  Whole circuit board is soaked in that white sealer.  Had to really work at it to dig the stuff off of...

    Greetings from Arkansas

    Had a MES 40 w Window n Remote for a couple years.  Love the capacity where I often load up 40# of chicken / pork and smoke it up then store in individual freezer bags until needed.  Looking forward to trying some of the suggestions I have found here in the near future.  Deer season just started...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Had my MES 40 with window for a couple years.  Love it.  I am on a low carb diet and the chicken I smoke in it is a real staple in our house.  It quit working recently and I am experiencing withdrawal symptoms.  Apparently the relay switch is failed and the heating element is on all the time...

    MES 30 Temperature Control

    I have a similar problem.  Only if I REMOVE the controller from the unit the heating element still comes on continuously.  Don't know what the problem is, but it apparently is not the controller.  Must be a failed component or short inside the unit.  Will get out my drill and remove riveted on...

    Problem with MES 40 - Overheats

    I have a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker that suddenly started overheating.  The element is on whenever the cord is plugged into the wall, even with the control box on the top removed???? Anyone got an idea about where to start with fixing that?  Element seems OK.  Access box on back leads to...
