    MES30 heating element died!!

    How old is it, how long does each element last and how often do you use it?  I would say there is probably something wrong with the smoker. I'd try and get Masterbuilt to give you a new one, even if out of warranty considering you've dumped 3 elements in it already. -J

    mes cold smoker kit.

    It Came! It Came! and I couldn't be happier. Pulled it out of the box and grabbed the dimmer extension cord I made up for the Christmas tree. (you'll be suprised how long those twinkle lights last if you dim them just a touch) I stuck it on the kill-a-watt meter and checked the wattage. Mine...

    mes cold smoker kit.

    I am really thinking about one of these for my 30. I've been struggling using a soldering iron and chips in a steel can. I can't seem to get rid of the bitter smoke flavor. I want to believe this may be my solution. Are you getting any bitter smoke flavors from your cold smoke unit? I find it...

    Cold Smoking With Soldering Iron, Complete With Photos

    I have a very similar setup and I can't seem to get the chips to smolder properly. I am getting very thick white smoke from mine. I'm using chips and not chunks. The smoke is very bitter and tastes like creosote. What type is smoke are you getting from yours? -j

    Help me out with slightly bitter flavors

    I'm beginning to wonder if I'm thinking about this the wrong way. I am getting some bitter flavors with my MES30. I am using a DIY smoke generator constructed from a quart paint can a 3" elbow and a soldering iron to get the chips going. It's a simple enough setup. Inside the elbow, I made a...

    MES Mechanical Design and Build Issues

    My MES30 is missing the same screw. I Noticed teh heating element issue as well, but I don't use the chip tray. I have a setup very similar to your cold smoke attachment made out of an elbow, a qt paint can and a soldering iron.

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Chambersburg PA. It's about 3-4$ per pound when it's on sale... Then we have to get it here. Two 5lb blocks fit in a medium USPS flat rate, so that's another $15.

    Mod to my underpowered MES30.

    Good point about the overtemp switch and one of the parts of this mod I forgot to mention. In the stock wiring that overtemp  switch is wired in series with the element. I removed it from the element wiring and instead wired it in series with the control panel so that if the switch trips, it...
