    Vented MES 40 Outside,

    If you do get some smoke spilling out when opening the hatch, you do have a couple of options. 1.  add an inline (low cfm) fan in you exhaust, that you could turn on manually before opening the hatch. 2. add an overheat bath type fan in that soffit above the MES, and turn it on when you open...

    MES 30 temp issue and probe issue

    cstallings, why are you posting this same topic twice in two days?  You got a lot of replies and several solid suggestions. Whoever is the moderator of the Electric forum should merge this thread with his first thread. Further in the previous thread, I posted a simple test that can establish...

    mes cold smoker kit.

    animal, to the best of my knowledge there has been NO SMF member review of the Masterbuilt cold smoking kit (MCSK).  That kit came out about July and there hasn't been anything written about the Masterbuilt cold smoke kit from any other source that I have found. So to be fair, while the above...

    MES 30 and Mav 732 temp variance??

    The right side wall gets very hot, so does right side back wall at least half way up, in. my 800 watt mes40. The newer mes30 is 800w with smaller cabinet than a 40 will also be hot if not hotter. Use a clip or potato to place the Mav probe near the mes temp sensor. Write down temps for both...

    AMNPS on fire in my MES30

    This is an excellent TIP!  I too do the same, however I add one more thing, when Todd first described the AWNS with a red hot cherry, that image is exactly what the AWNPS has to be when you insert the AWNPS lit into the MES.  To achieve this, after lighting with a torch, I let it burn flame for...

    AMNPS on fire in my MES30

    Atio, I have had the same problem but it was with the AMNS not the AMNPS, and it was using sawdust, the main cause was overloading and the design of the AMNS where the channel separators allow too much heat to penetrate the adjacent channel, so I used alum foil over the channel separators to...

    Masterbuilt Electric Smokers 30" versions

    cstallings, the lower priced MES30 works GREAT!  Since you have the Mav 732 there is no reason to pay for cheaper version (included in the more expensive MES) that might not even work properly.  Save the money and buy more meat or BBQ tools, there is nothing to be gained with the window, except...

    Rookie Mistake - 3rd Smoke

    NetBBQ, don't feel alone, I know in the 6+ years I've owned my MES40, I have done the same thing at least twice. Now I try to add about 1- 2 hours extra just in case, depends on what I'm smoking.  For Pork Butt I figure 90 min per pound + the added 2 hours, but as mentioned above I have had long...

    New MES?

    The masterbuilt MES (Masterbuilt Electric Smokehouse "digital") 30 vs the masterbuilt analog smoker, can both smoke meat.  With the addition of a Maverick 732 dual probe, and AMNPS smoke accessory both can do a better jop making the chores easier for the pit boss.  However is a digital...

    Smoke n Fold Aluminum Smoker

    scdigger, if you really have a need for a smoker that is portable to take to another location, or you lack storage space, then maybe this might be ok.  However I would save the money and just buy an MES.  Most of us hate doing extra things before we get started or after we are finished with a...

    Master Built 40" vs Bradley 4 rack digital

    I didn't take offense, I was being emphatic that the MES is capable of producing ribs with the texture, the flavor, and the degree of doneness, that would please any rib lover.  Just remember that great cooking isn't generally the result of the cook ware, its usually the result of a great cook...

    MES 30 - first smoke (Butt) w/Q

    Honestly this is getting a bit anal (see note below), you can use as much sanitary techniques as you personally see fit, there has been many discussions regarding how tos on cooking safety.  Yet I didn't see any health inspectors shutting down BBQ cookers at the Reno National Rib cookoff, where...

    Master Built 40" vs Bradley 4 rack digital

    My ribs are NOT, I repeat NOT "fall off the bone", using my MES 40 to cook them, they have chew and require a gentle tug to pull away from bone .  It is all about knowing when to switch to the next stage of either the 321 or 221 rule of thumb cooking method.  321 or 221 is a rule of thumb for...

    Cold weather smoking.

    You have 3 choices: 1. get more BTU of heat inside your smoking chamber for quicker recovery.  You can do this by adding an auxiliary heating element, for faster recovery.  It would be a 2 stage setup, only coming on when inside temp drops 15 or 20 deg below set point. 2. setup your smoker in...
