    Just got off the phone with Masterbuilt

    Happy Smoking!!    Great to hear you can focus on smoking and not on tinkering with the smoker.

    Just got off the phone with Masterbuilt

    Must say I have to agree with geerock  - initially I was OK with trying to work the issue with MB, then 2.5 months later the unit still does not work, starts to take the fun out of it...spending more time trying to correct someone else's issues, instead of cooking up some good food, though it...

    yoder 640

    That's good to hear,I have a a hill and sometimes "swampy" back yard and try to navigate the dog mines!   The point I was trying to make on the axle was that I thought it was 1/2" (same as wheel) and was not sure how or easy to install a full axle.  Just ordered my Yoder! Now have to find...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    Local Sam's here also does not carry 2nd Gen nor can u order online, not sure that they offer 1st Gen any more. Would not recommend buying a 2nd Gen just yet, that is why i referenced 1Gen buy. Btw it appears as though price is dropping on both gens online when available.

    The solid axle was the same pictures (same person?) from where you posted he talks about it but no specifics - I can ask and post here - the link is here - http://pelletheads.com/index.php?topic=17962.msg173010#msg173010 Just received a quote from Yoder for the Probe Ports - $29.95ea. - I'm on...

    Just got off the phone with Masterbuilt

    Interested to hear if the new controllers correct the issue of temp control and over shoot to above 300F. Interesting to hear the sealer around the edges.  This may be what is affecting the boxes that are left outside with low temps and moisture issues, assuming the old one did not have the...

    buggerritt being down your path already with a cut cord and a long wait (~4weeks), I agree there is a level of frustration, but have some patience, and as Linguica and old sarge point out no disrespect to you is meant by MB,  IMO they are trying to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. As a...

    Disappointed with amount of smoke; bought a master built electric 40" added updated part sent by mas

    Geerock, should have sent a PM when it arrived - figured you'd see one of my responses!  it really has been 4 weeks but who's counting any more, was outrageously disappointed with the outcome even though they sent a body kit with a controller and a new door. BTW I'm guessing they sent a...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    Just recieved my replacement yesterday, both body kit and new controller installed, also.  Mine did  not work either, 40-50 degree diff from internal display to MAV probe.  I'm done . Next step for me, I'm leaning towards a pellet smoker....

    Even the replacement controller and body kit, I just received yesterday did not work, be cautious on monitoring your box temp when in use with an add on temp monitor, do not rely on the smoker controller reading only, for 2nd Gen 40" Models.

    Just got off the phone with Masterbuilt

    I received delivery on my replacement 2nd GEN Masterbuilt 40" body/door yesterday. Opened box, inside was a door assembly and body kit AND a MB cover as a "thank you" for waiting. Nice touch from MB, though the contents poorly packed. Unpacked door assembly and smoker body kit (2nd GEN) WITH a...

    Rec Tec on the way

    I'm new to smoking, so started smoking with an electric Masterbuilt having some temp control  issues, though still working has led me to looking into IMHO the next best thing, pellet smoker/grill. I've been reading about Traegers and clones, and sounds like REC TEC is US made and built well. A...

    Just got off the phone with Masterbuilt

    Appreciate it  - there are a few of us waiting for replacement controllers and we are all being told about the same story. Last I spoke with MB they told me that my replacement body kit and controller were waiting on a "Quality Inspection", then after approval they would ship. This was last week...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    Sorry to hear fuzzyfishin.  Curious to hear what made it go to the scrap pile.  That is a long time to wait,did MB say why so long on the replacement?

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    I'm thinking that makes some sense to me now about inlet damping.  I have the side stack going 3" elbow to 4" adapter on my MES 40 2nd GEN and was getting pretty good airflow and draft . AMNPS worked great. I did not get any "black" condensation last time I smoked a brisket , I did get some...

    Cover for MES40

    I bought this one based on comments on that site, however I have MES 40 2ND GEN and it does not fit with the handle attached.  Removing the handle it fits VERY tightly.  I would suggest this...

    Doing the break in on my MES 40 now!

    My MES 40 also flares up, model 20072612 was not in the recall according to models listed on the Cabela's site. I occasionally use the MES chip tray/ loader since early on when it actually backdrafted and almost took my eybrows off. Now I mostly use A-MAZE-N-PELLET-SMOKER...
