    Meat slicer recommendation help

    Anybody have any good recommendations on a meat slicer? Light residential use so no need for anything commercial grade. Budget would be 150-200 or less if the quality is there. My problem is every one I see for a decent price has horrible reviews. I get having one or two bad reviews because...

    Help with new 40" mes. Model 20072619

    I called masterbuilt Tuesday. They offered to send another element but I wasn't crazy about rebuilding a brand new smoker so I exchanged it at SAMs for a new one. Unpacking and testing it tonight so hopefully it will work correctly.

    Help with new 40" mes. Model 20072619

    I had the old version of the 40" mes for years and it finally bit the dust. Wiring burned up. I attempted to fix but the metal box in the back was toasted so bad it wouldn't hold the element up. I didn't feel comfortable rigging something that I leave running unattended. So I had decided to wait...

    stormy day---- Bacon Wrapped Scallops----- why not?

    I stink at cooking scallops. My wife and I love them but I always seem to overlook them. I should stop when I think they're ready but I always ask her and we end up cooking them a few more minutes and they are always tough. I can rock cooking any other kind of seafood you can think of but I...

    Hypothetical combination pizza oven, outdoor fireplace and smoker build question.

    This is a hypothetical only question and wishful thinking with a plan for the future if that makes any sense. I don't have room to do this where I'm at currently because my outdoor kitchen space is already full with the sink and the built in grill but if we are ever able to build our dream...

    2008 MES 40" died yesterday

    Great link. Thanks for that. I read on there that you can upgrade the 800 watt element to the 1200 that the new models have. Will the same control unit work or do you have to replace that also? If I'm tearing into I want to make it right. The 800 element annoys me on how slow it heats up on...

    2008 MES 40" died yesterday

    It's been a while since I've been on here but I could use some help. I was in the middle of a rib/Boston butt smoke yesterday and my MES gave up the ghost. The controller seems to be fine but it quit heating. I did a hard reset and checked on different outlets so I know my breaker didn't trip...

    30" MES Replacement Element

    Posting this for someone else.  I did a search and didn't see an answer.  Where can I find a replacement element for the 30" MES?  I think it has a 650 watt element and we know for sure the element is bad and it's not the wiring or the controller.  Masterbuilt said they no longer sold these...

    Whole cut up chicken time and temp?

    I need some help here. I have a whole cut up chicken that I want to smoke this weekend. I know how to test for doneness on the breasts but nothing else. Will everything be ready at the same time the breasts are?
