    NO smoke with Masterbuilt Electric Pro

    As I said I have an older MES 40 with 800 watt element, and its the original chip tray without extra metal. If 800 watts makes my chips smoke in 3 to 5 minutes the 1200 watts can do it.  The only thing you have proven is your MES is defective. Your pics show the smaller tray, with extra metal...

    New to smokers...need a little help picking out the right one

    Only two smokers worth considering. The MES (Masterbuilt Electric Smokehouse) this the digital smoker. or WSM (Weber Smoky Mountain)  Charcoal smoker. 90% of the SMF members posting in the electric forum (this forum) own and use the MES..  Enough said! Read back 20 pages of posts you will...

    NO smoke with Masterbuilt Electric Pro

    My MES 40 with 800 watt element takes about 30 minutes from cold to 180º, during that time the element is ON, wood chips take about 3 minutes to start to smoke.  Thus the above statement is FALSE! The real question is, will chips continue to smoke during the element on/off cycle while...

    mes 30

    Where did the OP say he was using an external thermo not the built in one? If the OP says his he used his MES 30 for 4 years with no problem and now he is getting hardly any smoke. Did the OP smoke at 180º before at this temp during the 4 years? If so and the OP had no issues, then something...

    NO smoke with Masterbuilt Electric Pro

    I don't know which Masterbuilt smoker you are talking about, I did a google and couldn't find a smoker by that name?  Could you link to some pics, is this the new "electric smoke house" as in the pic below? If so just leave the feeding tube slightly open. Before you do any cutting or...

    Help with my MES 40

    It's 3:25 am and check this thread, while eating a tri-tip sandwich from a tri-tip I grilled last week.  SO good, just a piece of french bread sliced & toasted and au-jus I saved and warmed meat in Microwave with the au-jus, nothing else.  Better than almost any french dip I can rem at most...

    Help with my MES 40

    Smoke is like any other seasoning, too much and it isn't pleasant.  However each to their own acquired taste.  Too much smoke in an MES usually means the meat has a creosote flavor.  I can't really compare with a wood burner smoker since I haven't owned one and the Q I have tasted from such a...

    MES 30 with window or without?

    You can't go wrong with either the MES or the WSM.  If I didn't own a MES I would go buy a WSM.  If you can afford the MES 40 there is one thing the WSM can't match, capacity.  The MES 40 is capable of smoking up to 16 racks of ribs, or 8 large butts, maybe even a few more butts, I have only...

    MES 30, how well do they hold cooking temps?

    Some MES digital control/temp probes are fairly accurate +/- 5º others are not.  Get a Maverick ET732 as a cross check, before I had a Maverick I used two taylor digital probes, and a analog oven dial type inside the smoker to verify temp.  My MES 40 is off 15-20º, but it doesn't matter to me I...

    Help with my MES 40

    I guess I am old school, tri-tip is a Calif thing, originally cooked over an open grill, no marinade just garlic salt fresh ground pepper and dash of garlic powder, then throw on hot grill cook both sides then foil or finish indirect when temp reaches 135º pull and let rest for 5 minutes.  I do...

    MES 30 with window or without?

    The MES is electric which is what your original inquiry wanted info on.  However you then say you need to decide charcoal or electric?  The MES only comes in electric, the Masterbuilt charcoal smoker has none of the features (double walled insulated construction, digital controls, temp probe &...

    Overnight smoke with an electric

    Allow 90 minutes per pound for cook time.  Don't over think dew and ambient temp drops, the MES has good temp control and you can also keep tabs with either a taylor digital probe or my preference is the Maverick 732 with a probe for cook temp and one for meat temp. 200º is minimum for pork...

    Ordered my New (old style) MES 40!

    I'm not sure you can use a design change as evidence to support your statement.  Rem, Masterbuilt also changed the chip tray making it smaller and added a piece of metal that results in inconsistent smoke.  You of all people should thank them for this error otherwise you wouldn't have designed...

    Ordered my New (old style) MES 40!

    Todd's instructions are to NOT use water in the water pan.  I have both the AMNPS & the original AMNS, I also have been using a MES40 for over 5+ years.  I must be clear my MES 40 is only 800 watts, yours is 1200 watts, however temperature is temperature I smoke at 225-250º, water boils at 212º...
