    MES 20070410 help

    I'm not going to get into an argument on this or any forum. I'm only citing safety concerns based on the NEC. ...and if you go by that, a GFCI receptacle is required. It's required in your kitchen, your fridge, your dishwasher etc. But hey, do as you wish. There are no GFI police... ...Atoparok

    MES 20070410 help

    I realize I'm only a "newbie", but recommending one to operate an outdoor appliance without GFCI protection is bad practice. I'm certain Masterbuilt, or any other manufacturer, would agree. I couldn't agree with that advise... ...Atoparok

    MES 20070410 help

    Sorry to hear... My MES is obviously newer than yours, but it works fine with a brand new GFCI receptacle. The newer GFI receptacles are less prone to false tripping. So there are no cover plates on the rear of your unit? ...not familiar with it. Also, what type of connector are you referring...

    MES 20070410 help

    Hi larrym, I like SonnyE's suggestion. I'm an electrical contractor in NM. I would remove and reinstall the heating element if you don't find insects or moisture issues. Also pay attention to the elements electrical contacts. If it's to close to the body, or cover, try adjusting it. If that...

    Newbie from NM.

    Good day. I live in the forest mountains in NM and wood and charcoal fires are forbidden a great deal of the time. They have even restricted gas grills at times. So I purchased an MES 30" to continue my Q addiction year round. I'm looking forward to checking out the mailbox mods and any tips on...

    Masterbuilt 30" BT smoker

    Good day! Sorry for the late response, just recently joined. The fact that you can connect at all is a miracle. So, you might try the updated app. It came out on Oct. 2nd. I believe. Most people have had connectivity problems, as do I, so maybe that would be a fix for you... ...Atoparok

    MES Bluetooth APP UPDATE

    Yes, but according to Masterbuilt this morning, Bluetooth 4.0 or higher should work. ...and that is what is stated on their newly updated website as well. By the way, your Galaxy originally came with Bluetooth 4.0, but may have undergone an update down the road. That info is available on android...

    MES Bluetooth APP UPDATE

    So I noticed V 3.0 was out too and installed it yesterday. As soon as I clicked "connect", it gave me the "hmm, something went wrong, try again" message. Recycling my phone, I started the app again. This time the "spinning wheel of search" came up and after about 5 minutes, I had to turn it off...

    MES Bluetooth APP UPDATE

    Mine was new in August. Using a Droid Turbo 2 with USB 4.2. App will not pair. Per my earlier post, Masterbuilt claims a new improved app will come out around October 10th. ...not holding my breath

    MES Bluetooth APP UPDATE

    I have with no luck! I contacted Masterbuilt again and they sent me an email today that the update isn't expected until October 10th. I'm not holding my breath! What bothers me is that Masterbuilt has knowingly been selling a product that doesn't work. I didn't want a window in my smoker and was...
