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

    I noticed that the right side of my MES runs hotter by about 20 degress when I have the vent mostly open (makes sense, as the heat will tend to draft towards the vent) but when I have the vent mostly closed, the temp from left to right only varies by about 5 degrees... I noticed less of a...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Yes! Definitely happy with the 40" MES...my wife and father-in-law gave it to me for my birthday. By accident, they happened to get the all stainless 1st gen version. I wasn't happy with the small chip holder, but Masterbuilt sent me the upgrade for free after I called them about it. Loving it...

    Newbie with a couple of MES 40 questions.

    I always cover both the water pan and the drip pan with heavy-duty foil before cooking (make sure to poke a hole through the drip pan hole so it will drain). Also, I noticed that the bottom of the water pan was getting pretty sooty, then remembered (from my trusty old Boy Scout training) to...

    Extension cord question

    I use a 15' 12 gauge on my 40" MES all the time (no outlet closer to where I cook) that gives me about 20' with the MES cord...

    Bigger Chip Tray for MES 40

    Todd, Thanks for the input. If they weren't still providing the retrofit tray and holder for free, I was going to do just that. Seems to me that it would be a pretty easy fix to just cut out some/most of the screwed/riveted bottom heat shield to expose the bottom of the chip tray, but I'm...

    Howdy from Southeast Texas!

    I'm new to these forums, but have been making 'Q for quite a while. Never been in competition, but everyone likes my rubs and my sauces. Just stepped into MES smoking as my wife bought me a 40" MES for my birthday. I've been a confirmed wood-fired smoker cook for a long time, so I'm looking for...

    Bigger Chip Tray for MES 40

    Just received a 40" MES (20070311) for my birthday last week. Ran about 30 lbs of brisket through it and although the cooking time and temps produced a moist, tender product, I was disappointed with the light smoke flavor produced by the MES. I called Masterbuilt this afternoon with my...
