    Thanks. I'll stop watching the 735 then. I'm in no hurry, maybe they'll come out with a 734 that's RF with four probes.

    If you like it all the more power to you but there are some pretty heavy caveats with this sort of thing. First, the price. It's over priced to begin with but even if it wasn't overcharging the consumer it still would be more expensive than any other thermometer. WiFi range. You have to smoke...

    Need help deciding on a new MES 30"

    Still no tracking on my end, but the charge is on my credit card.

    That thing is insanely expensive, and it must be pure mark up. There is no reason that should cost $200 USD. Someone posted another one called the meater in another thread which is more advanced but has more issues. I understand the appeal but I see too many problems with it to ever buy into...

    Need help deciding on a new MES 30"

    I didn't request any discounts, just said I heard they were selling some Gen 2.5's direct and was wondering if that was true. They said yup, $160 usd plus shipping and cutoms.

    Have you received a shipping notice yet? I was to get one yesterday but it hasn't came through.

    Too bad they don't have a four probe RF but it makes sense they (and everyone else) is moving away from it. Costs less to make a Bluetooth device and you get to charge the consumer more.

    Thought I'd bump this thread since the last post was a couple of months ago, see if anyones opinion has changed a a few more weeks of use. Debating getting one of these myself for the four probe option but the Bluetooth is worrisome. On one hand it would mean one less remote to carry, and I do...

    I'll let you know. I thought they were charged to the sender but apparently that changed Feb 27th. According to the FedEx website it should be $7 CAD.

    Need help deciding on a new MES 30"

    Took an extra day to get the order in but it's now on its way! They must be selling out, there was no mention of colour choice to me. After factoring in all expenses I saved about $140 vs buying it in store. Hopefully it doesn't get caught up in customs for six weeks.

    Need help deciding on a new MES 30"

    $30 USD shipped to NY, $60 USD to my house in Ontario. After all the associated costs, shipping to NY would save me $7 USD. Definitely worth $7 not to deal with border crossings and an hour and a half of driving. Direct to my house it comes! Ordering it today.

    Hmm, so total savings for me would be about $170 all in, definitely worth the drive. More than I can expect should it go on sale here. Looks like I may be crossing the border soon.

    How much was your shipping costs, if you don't mind? This is $195 cheaper than retail, so even after customs if I drive across the border to a US mail service I could see some significant savings.

    Thanks for posting this. I've reached out to Masterbuilt to see if this is available in my area too. That's significantly cheaper than retail versions available to me.

    The Waterpan in MES

    So after going through a bunch of threads I've noticed people don't use the water pan. When I got my smoker a couple years ago the instructions said that it helps keep the meat moist and a number of recipes I found online also used it, to the point that many suggested different liquids to put...

    2nd gen 40" vs 2.5 gen 30"

    Well now I'm getting more confused. They brought back the 2.5 30" but priced it less than model 2070411 30" which I thought was an older model.... Edit: Good thing this forum exists. I found multiple other threads with confusion over this model and it is a gen 1. So Home Depot is playing a...

    I like that plan. I will have to steal it.

    2nd gen 40" vs 2.5 gen 30"

    You can, I can't :p Not without a long drive, duties, and a voided warranty.

    Ribeye roast - smoke it or bake it????

    I have to go with oven (or indirect on the bbq), with a mustard sauce coating and wrapped in foil. It's so much juicier and tender when there is no way for the juices to leak out. You lose the smoke flavour and your au jus but the trade off is worth it.
