    Thanks for the explanation. I'll definitely be getting one of those Mavericks, as I'm not going to rely on the Bluetooth. Also going to keep looking for a good deal on a 40inch gen 2.5.

    Masterbuilt moel numbers?!

    Gah! I figured it was a gen 2. I'm going to keep checking for deals, but right now I'm actually leaning towards that 30inch, 2.5 gen at Lowes for $239.00. So far it's easily the best deal I've found (heck, Bass Pro is selling their 30inch 2.5 gen for 349.99). I am seeing mixed opinions...

    Masterbuilt moel numbers?!

    Makes sense. Completely agree with your rationale and the comparison to a garage or truck. But to be clear, are you saying that ALL 30 inchers have the 800W element? Or are there 30 inch models with wattage higher than that? Genuinely curious. Also, is there any significant difference in...

    Masterbuilt moel numbers?!

    Hmmmm, I think I'll have to look into the wattage aspect a little more. My initial feeling is to stay away from the 800, but I don't want to completely dismiss it quite yet. Also, this one here is a 40 incher at a good price, and 1200 watt, but I think it's a 2, not a 2.5...

    I'm glad you mentioned the wattage, as I noticed some are listed as 800 and others are 1200. Seems like a pretty big disparity on the surface. How does that difference in wattage translate into the smoker's performance? Would you recommend staying away from the 800 watt versions altogether?

    Masterbuilt moel numbers?!

    Just came across this one, which appears to be a fantastic deal, but I'm not sure it's a 2.5. Sort of looks like it is, but I think it's some type of "Lowe's exclusive" model that Masterbuilt made. Thoughts...

    Agreed! And thanks for the clarification.

    Masterbuilt moel numbers?!

    Ahh, I actually saw that deal yesterday but dismissed it because I thought it was a 2 and not a 2.5. I must've mis-read your MES generation recognition pictures thread (for some reason I thought 4 shelves indicated GEN 2). Unfortunately, I just tried to use the "free shipping to your store" on...

    Thanks. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for a good deal. If I can't find anything within the next couple weeks I'll probably just bite the bullet and buy one of these 30 inchers from Bass Pro for $349.99. Really looking forward to getting started and learning how to smoke some good meat!

    Masterbuilt moel numbers?!

    I actually snapped a picture of the 30 inch at Bass Pro, which I failed to include in my previous post. Is this the gen 2.5 with the good reviews? Regarding the $$$, I searched around a bit online and can't really find any good deals in my area. I'm going to keep looking but may just bite the...

    Masterbuilt moel numbers?!

    I'm a complete newb, but from what I've read it's not necessarily the # of racks that's important, but rather the overall difference in space between the 30 inch and 40 inch models. Seems like if you decide to go 30 inch, you may have trouble fitting certain items inside of it and as a result...

    Masterbuilt moel numbers?!

    Hello sir! 100% complete newb to smoking here. Always been a big griller, and recently decided to get a smoker (been wanting to get into smoking meats for awhile now). Haven't purchased one yet. After researching, I decided to go with an electric. After deciding on electric, I decided to go...
