    MES 40 with Remote (Christmas Present)

    As I figured , Cabela's in Barrie Ontario doesn't carry that model at this time and for me to have one shipped from Masterbuilt direct , by the time it gets to me I would be afraid to use it because of the cost.   lol

    MES 40 with Remote (Christmas Present)

    Sweet unit Bear , you know it's funny how our better half never seem to have a sense of humor when it comes to keeping something that important in our house . Go figure I might have to make a trip to Cabela's here in Canada and see what they want for that unit

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    I like the idea of the sand in the water pan Bear , but I have a buddy that has a fireplace built of field stones and they retain the heat for a very long time .

    Bugs & The MES

    Sorry bear , no disrespect intended I forgot the important part about the cover , the 30" bungie cord I put around the bottom,.  put there to keep the wind from blowing it off and to stop the bugs from getting in . I had a problem with spiders until I put the bungie on.

    Bugs & The MES

    Like the sink drain idea for the vent as for the grease drain hole , I find as the unit cools down the grease will seal the drain hole as the outside of the tube cools sooner and slowly fills with warm grease . I also picked up a Masterbuilt cover from TSC that is on my smoker when its not in...
