    Decided on a smoker....but can't find it!

    I'm not sure about the 30" model w/window but I contacted masterbuilt  regarding the 40" w/window availability in my area (Pa.),they informed me they are out of stock until October and suggested checking out the closest Cabelas and Bass Pro Shop.

    MES 40" from Sams online

    Thanx for the input guys.Yeah,I got that same model and all seems to be good. I need to add a small handfull of chips every 30 minutes and  I discovered the actual internal temp and masterbuilts temp is off by 10 degrees or so at the 225 range. It's more accurate at higher temps.These readings...

    30' MES and black, charred chips

    I doubt it aswell.I returned my 30" for this reason.Works great if temp is 250 and up.Not only is ther ea 1/4 gap but there is an additional piece of metal between the wood chip holder and the heating element..(bad design??) I'm waiting for the 40" version to arrive from Sams.Fingers crossed.I...

    MES 30" question

    Well I spoke to soon and am having the same issue BC son had...I thought I had it figured out by leaving the vent wide open, but I had a hard time producing smoke today.I have the 30" w/ window and probe and getting the chips to smoke is just about impossible unless the heat is cranked way...

    MES 30" question

    Yeah,I read that link you gave me in the other thread.I cant believe they tried using the extension cord as an excuse! Sounded like they were looking for any reason not to honor there warranty.

    MES 30" question

    BC-the exhaust vent.I'm thinking your sons heating element was probably faulty.

    MES 30" question

    I got the newer model and had the same issue.You need to leave the vent open for more air flow.I wish they didnt reduce the loader and holder capicity but you do get smoke and you will get white ash.I have no idea why the manufacturer changed the chip capicity but it does work.

    Newbie question..MES not smokey enough?

    FYI- Opening the vent took care of my lack of smoke issue.I used a small handfull of dry chips,placed them in my chip holder than started the smoker.In about 15 minutes they started to smoke,temp was about 100 at that point.There is a piece of metal in between the bottom of the chip holder and...

    Newbie question..MES not smokey enough?

    Thanx guys for all the info! It is much appreciated.Now I know i should leave the vent open, and I may need to tweek the chip holder to be closer to the heating element and when it's all done all I should be left with is white ash. With this info, I'm prepared for war and victory will be mine!

    Newbie question..MES not smokey enough?

    Also while I'm at it..I would like some clarification from the smoke masters on what to expect when the smoker is operating as it should...After the chips have fullfilled their smoking destiny..what should be remaining in the chip holder? Ashes or blacken chips?
