    New MES 30 temp differing by 20 degrees

    Use the Maverick.  You will need to check your Maverick probes in ice water and boiling water to check them for accuracy if you haven't already.

    smoke addon

    If you have the MES 30 then it goes on the wire rails just to the left of the original chip pan.  If you have the MES 40 then it will fit on the floor to the left hand side, you will not loose rack space with either method. Gary

    Venison Snack Sticks (wayyyyy to long to cook em) 13 1/2 hrs

    I use the same method as far as changing the temps. Last two batches of sticks took 11-12 hours, not sure why but it is frustrating for a small stick to take that long.

    Mes 40 any tips for cleaning window

    I just use Clorox Disinfectant Wipes, the ones in the plastic round tubes, takes a few but they work pretty good.  If you do not have time to clean it while still warm when you do get time just turn it back on and let it come up to 110-120 degrees, shut it off and it seems to loosen all the...

    Maverick 732 problem

    Are you pushing the limit on distance, the only time mine does that is if I am on the edge of the range.  Also might want to check batteries in the other half, not sure how they push the signal but worth a try. Gary

    Good deal or not?

    If the controls are in front on the top panel and the exhaust is in the side of the unit then it is the new model.

    Sams club has carried the MES 40 model for a number of years and at $299 that is the cheapest price you will find for that smoker. Gary

    Cuisinart Smoker

    Check this link, the Cajun Injector has the flip up controls like the one you are looking at.  Not sure who makes these but my brother in law has a Cajun Injector that is about the size of my MES 30 and has never had a problem. http://www.cajuninjector.com/cajun-injector-electric-smoker.html Gary
