    MasterBuilt's newest

    I received an email from Masterbuilt the other day announcing a "new" smoker calling it their "Bluetooth digital electric smoker" sort of a 2.5 version. I see they corrected  the side vent problem and placed it back on the top as in Gen 1. they even put a sun shade on it. If anyone gets one of...

    Disappointed with amount of smoke; bought a master built electric 40" added updated part sent by mas

    I believe I posted an answer to this question with my experience dealing with a Masterbuilt 40" smoker. If you have a generation 2 unit, the standard AMNPS with the rows will never stay lit due to the design of the gen 2 smoker. (you can verify this with Todd from Amazeproducts.com). However...

    Hi, as I stated in an earlier reply, the tube AMNPS will produce lots of smoke in the 40" Gen2 Masterbuilt. Bill

    Disappointed with amount of smoke; bought a master built electric 40" added updated part sent by mas

    Good Luck with the AMNPS. If you talk to Todd who designed the AMNPS he will tell you it's very difficult to to make it work. He worked with me trying to get it to work but because of the design of the Gen 2 and all the air turbulence going on inside the smoker it would not stay lit no matter...

    MES 40 with Remote (Christmas Present)

    Hello. It is a beauty, I too now have the "311" all stainless and so far I love it. Masterbuilt does make a nice metal stand for this unit. I had bought one for my Gen2 40" smoker so after they sent me the Gen1 replacement,I found the stand fits the Gen1(holes are already there). It is...

    MES 40 with Remote (Christmas Present)

    Hi NDKoze, I am the same way as far as researching something as much as possible before buying. when is was time for a smoker. Didn't know about this forum or others. Price played a factor, new I wanted an electric smoker so I found the MES on Sam's clubs on line site. Great price, looked great...

    MES 40 with Remote (Christmas Present)

    What do you like on Gen 2 vs Gen1? The only thing I can say is a little nicer is the controls up in the front, but if that fails you cant replace it. Gen 1 controller in the top back is replaceable and it just plugs in. Gen 1 has a light inside the unit, vs Gens 2's led light which is on the...

    MES 40 with Remote (Christmas Present)

    Hello, my advice, don't buy the mes generation 2, if you can your hands on a Gen1 go for it. I had FIVE Gen 2's. Each one had problems from failing the seasoning process (2 failed) to temperatures being as much as 40 degrees too low, to leaking doors etc. Masterbuilt keeps putting bandages on...

    MES 40 with Remote (Christmas Present)

    I went through the whole issue withe the gen 2 and using the AMNPS. i worked with Todd closely on this. I could never keep it smoking no matter what I tried. What finally did work and it was non stop smoking was the tube version of AMNPS. I lit it, placed it on the bottom of the unit and it...

    MES 40 with Remote (Christmas Present)

    Good luck with yours. I just sent back my 4th 2nd gen 40" smoker. I was able to get my hands on a Generation 1 unit, a proven and higher regarded smoker with all the bugs out of it or so I am told. Gen 2's are pieces of junk with so many problems (failures during season, internal temps as much...

    If anyone has a masterbuilt model 20070311, is the interior stainless steel or is it aluminized meta

    I am on my forth Gen 2 40" Masterbuilt smoker the "512" model. Todd from A-Maze-n products was giving me some advice on keeping my AMNPS going and in the conversation pointed out that the interior of the "512" unit is aluminized metal. If someone has the #20070311 Gen 1 model can you tell me if...

    First Smoke Ever - Shoulders - I Have Questions!

    Hi, I have a question regarding how  you smoked your pork shoulders in the Masterbuilt. Did you place the shoulder in the aluminum pan or was the empty pan placed on a lower rack? I tried a 6lb shoulder yesterday, in the pan, had the temp set @ 250 degrees (started it at 9:30am) finally was...

    Cleaning masterbuilt electric smoker

    Hi, I'm with you 100 % on cleaning the smoker after each use. Bacteria does not get "burned off" in the low smoking temperatures most smokers use. I have found if you clean it while it's still very warm helps tremendously. I use Clorox disinfecting wipes and they take off almost everything...

    Masterbuilt Warranties

    Hi, Masterbuilt will sell you an extended warranty if you call them and insist. I purchased a 2 year extended warranty for $99. Seeing that they wall be replacing my 2nd 40" SS (2nd generation) unit for various failure reasons, I feel the 2 years of warranty is well worth the money. I must...

    MES Digital Smokers

    You should have got the 40" which has 1200 watts. After closing door,  it's back up to temp well under 5 mins.  Twenty or thirty minutes seems way too long. could be an element or controller problem and maybe a conversation with MB customer service is in order. Trust me they Masterbuilts' do...

    Inaccurate Masterbuilt 2nd generation temperature probe

    Hello, just discovered that the temperature probe in the Masterbuilt 2nd generation 40" (512 model) is about 35 degrees off. I am smoking some pork loin sirloin roasts with the probe in the largest piece and it is showing the internal meat temperature at 165 degrees which would indicate it is...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    Hello. I also have the 2nd Generation "512" 40" smoker. This is unit #2, the first one did not make it through the "seasoning process" as it just died. Masterbuilt replaced it. I also bought the 2 year warranty just in case. I questioned MB about the so called internal light and all they did was...

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Hello, I have been following the various dialog on vent positions on Masterbuilt 30" and 40". I recently got my Masterbuilt 40" NEW GENERATION (part # 20070512)smoker and on page 3 of the manual it does talk about the vent on the side of the unit. On the OLD GENERATION version that vent is on...

    MES Digital Smokers

    Where did you buy the Masterbuilt with a 4 year warranty?. I had to practically beg them to sell me a 2 year warranty for my new 40" 2nd gen smoker and that cost me $99. They only come with only a 90 day warranty.The first one I got didn't make it though the "seasoning" process and crapped out...
