    too hot problem

    I don't have that particular MES, but it sounds it might be a defective controller. I hear that the Masterbuilt customer service is pretty good. Maybe give them a call and run your problem by them.  A lot of posts on this board show that they ship replacement parts free of charge when things...

    new Masterbuilt Electric Smoker questions

    For the first few questions, seems like normal temperature variance. I had the same questions and there were some knowledgeable folks here who provided me with guidance. If you search this forum for "mes temperature", you will probably find your answer or at least some help. The temp probes...

    Masterbuilt 30 a creosote machine

    I have not seen a lot of posters here that use the chips with the MES 30. The most traffic I see on this board are MES owners who use the AMNPS pellet tray and burn food grade wood pellets instead of chips. I am pretty new to the MES and smoking and have never used the chips. I've only used the...

    New to the smoking world pls helpp

    No worries. ask away. Yes, you put in the amount of pellets you want. Each row will burn 3-4 hours. Once you have them properly lit, then you put them in the smoker and that is all there is to it. I would do a search in the forum about keeping the AMNPS lit. A lot of folks have trouble keeping...

    New to the smoking world pls helpp

    There might other folks on this board to correct me. But I think the guy who invented it and owns the AMNPS company designed it for the MES 30. I have a MES 30 too, model 20070910 and it fits perfectly in the bottom left on those two metal rods next to the chip tray/burner assembly.. I am pretty...

    Chicken is a good starting point, so is Cornish game hens. The owner of this forum has a website with recipes that could be helpful to you. It is www.smoking-meat.com Also, use the search bar and look for AMNPS. This is a device that uses food grade pellets instead of wood chips. With the...

    Maverick placement in MES

    Thought I would play around with it before I got to the next smoke. Do you run your probe down through the vent? Seems like when I run the probe down the vent and place it in the same position as yours, the probe wire seems to run across rack 2, getting the way of any meat placed there.  I'll...

    Questions on MES30 and mailbox mod

    For those with the MES 30 that have done the mailbox mod. Is the 3 inch, 26 gauge elbow the correct one? http://www.homedepot.com/p/3-in-26-Gauge-90-Degree-Round-Adjustable-Elbow-26B90E3/100113133 Did you make any modifications to the MES where the elbow goes in? It looks like only one inch...

    Maverick placement in MES

    I was curious where others place their Maverick probe in the MES. I typically place food on the second rack of the MES 30. I have the Maverick either on the same rack as the meat or the 1st rack. But the cold temperature of the meat really throws off the accuracy of the Maverick. I have tried...

    New MES 30"

    Get the AMNPS from A-Maze-N products. Burns pellets up to 12 hours. A lot of info on the AMNPS in this forums. Forget trying to feed wood chips every 30 minutes. Doing a search on in this forum on something that might interest you, and you will probably find your answer! There is a lot of info...

    season smokers

    Yes,  I think they put oils and other preservative type chemicals on during assembly. My smoker manual said to preseason it for 3 hours at 275 degrees.

    Pellets or no pellets?

    I own a MES 30 and I only use the AMNPS from A-Maze-N Products. I don't know which one would be better for your model, the Maze or the Tube. With the maze (AMNPS) you can get up to 11-12 hours of non stop smoking. The 12 inch Tube is only advertised to do 4 hours. Once the pellets get properly...

    New MES 30" gen 1 owner

    I would also say to get the A-Maze-N Pellet smoker from A-Maze-N Products. You can use it to burn pellets in your smoker instead of wood chips. You get the pellets lit properly and they will give you up to 11-12 hours of continuous smoke time. If you stay with the wood chips, you will be adding...
