    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    They are saving money by making them Bluetooth vs supplying a remote.

    MES 40 6 rack vs 4 rack models?

    There's no model number listed and it doesn't say if it has the RF remote or if it has Bluetooth. All the 2.5 models will come with Bluetooth instead of the RF remote, which the 2.0 would have.

    Best Place to get a MES40 and how to tell what gen it is

    Adding racks could be done but it would involve removing all the screws for it's racks and relocating them then adding 8 more for the 2 new racks. Not worth the trouble IMO.

    I Dunno which MES 40 your referring to at cabellas, but I see they have a 40 inch sportsman elite for 383. The SAMs MES 40 is 329. SAMs is a 4 rack model with a stand included. The cabellas sportsman elite has no stand but comes with 2 more racks. Same size inside but the 6 racks are closer...

    Upcoming picnic for pulled pork

    Yea I reloaded it after 10 hours to half full. Not sure if it really needed more smoke or not but it sure ended up perfect. My top vent is always wide open.

    Upcoming picnic for pulled pork

    You have the new MES 40 BT. No need to elevate your AMPS. Just set it on the bottom of your smoker. No need to pull the chip tray out an inch and no need to pull out the chip loader a little. I just smoked 10 pound picnic Saturday at 225 for 18 hours, to an IT of 205 without foiling. Nice bark...

    No issues at all. I don't know of anyone having issues with this model. The reason people say to get the warranty(as I did) is simply because the MES warranty is only 90 days and at SAMs you can get a three year warranty for 30 bucks. That's nice insurance for cheap.

    I got my mes 40 bt from SAMs club for 329, and it came with the stand. For me it was the best deal for what I wanted.

    Water Pan

    you'll find no need to keep water in the pan in the MES. leave the pan in the smoker to help with side to side heat distribution. But the MES is great on its own at holding moisture.

    December Brisket

    Well I didn't have to worry about it being done too soon. This is crazy here. It's at 207 IT now and it's still not probe easy tender. Been smoking for 11 hours now at 220 until 2 hours ago when I bumped the heat up to 250. Guess I'll keep checking every 5 degrees until my probe slides in like...

    Should I return my 40" for a 30"??

    stick with the 40 for 2 main reasons imo. not having to cut full racks of ribs and not having to cut a full packer brisket.
