    2012 MES 40 vs. Old Model MES 40

    Will check mine for cracks tomorrow! Sad thing is I took two gen-1s back before moving to the Gen-2s.... (*^%$#@@ I did a cold smoke a while back and the AMNPS worked fine. Works fine on my other grills as well. I love them both. I pull the loader half way out with a fan blowing on the side but...

    2012 MES 40 vs. Old Model MES 40

    They sent me a new one a while back I think I posted about it. I think it is my 5th now. The meat probe is very accurate so far but the internal temp is all over the place. I can not keep a AMNPS working at all but the tube smoker works every time with no problems. The loader jammed and came...

    Need a cover for the MES 40

    The cover from amazon is a great quality cover but it does not fit the 2nd gen MES 40. You will need to remove the back handle and loader to work it onto the MES and then it is to small to pull to the bottom so it will leave a bunched up area of canvas at the top and still about 6" from covering...

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

    The Academy model should be the gen-1 40" everyone says it has no, or less issues compared to the Gen-2. I had one and took it back because of a small problem with the door seal and purchased a gen-2 from Cabela's. Would have stuck with the Gen-1 but Academy offered no extended warranty. I think...

    Christina - What ever you get don't forget a Mav probe and smoke generator from A-Maze-n Products. When the cooker works these items make it truly set and forget!

    Christina - Lots of threads about the MES to review and help with your decision. The old model has a good record and following. Those of use that have been "field testing" the new MES for Masterbuilt have had a little rougher ride. Check the model numbers and get an extra warranty and good...

    My Mav probe problem is just the rubber seal and not sure what happened to it but Todd will take care of getting me a replacement. Mav works fine just damaged the seal some way and no idea how. Will try the silicone or some other way to protect them going forward. The AMNPS works as advertised...

    Yea I gave up on the elbow last weekend because of the mess from the condensation and also gave up on the AMNPS. I have a replacement MES and the new box 20070612 appears to be working as advertised so far! Having trouble with my Mav probes as well, always something!

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

    Looking forward to hearing how your new smoker works out for you. It sounds like my replacement should not be far behind yours. I assume you just had to cut the 110 plug off the end of the cable and pop the data plate. I hear once they have my tracking number they can ship the new smoker my...

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

    As I said I never close the vents on the MES and the AMNPS has worked with a dry smoker with mostly no problems. Since the unit seals so well just adding liquid can cause the black liquid leak with open vents. My mistake was following a turkey recipe I found on the SMF that I am sure...

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

    Greenhat4 -  A couple of things I noticed although I have only used the MES a couple of times for cooking and mostly have just been testing the functionality with no food. I had black liquid leak out of the front leg on a gen-1 vent side of box. I had the same thing happen with the Gen-2 but...

    Smoked up a 15.65 LBS Turkey yesterday with a large pan on rack below with some veggies and broth. BIG bird but smallest I could find. Everything is big in Texas. Go big or go home. Preheated the smoker 275 based on MES reading anyway for 45 minutes or so. Added bird, AMNPS, and liquid pan...

    Ok I am trying this Mod but the vents I found at HD do not fit like I had hoped. I think I read that the vent can just slip on and holds itself in place. I was hoping to use this tomorrow any ideas on where to find the correct vent?

    2012 MES 40 vs. Old Model MES 40

    I guess everyone knew about the Safety Notice must have just been me in the dark. I was told that a rep came to the store when this was an issue and modified the stock. Now they should ship with the modification. Apparently the mod is nothing more than the tab that bends down to keep the chip...
