    smoking cheese in mes

    I don't have a food saver yet just wrapped in parchment paper, saran wrap, and placed in a zip lock. I sucked the air out of the zip lock with a straw. Poor mans food saver.... Can I still store the cheddar at room temperature with this wrapping process? Thanks again SmokeOne!

    smoking cheese in mes

    Thanks to all the folks on this thread my first cheese was a breeze! New Gen MES 40" AMNPS ET-732 SMF folks! High temp during process 72° would drop into the high 50's and would fire up the MES element until temp ticked up a degree and shut down MES (2-3min). Hatch Jalapeno Cheddar...

    2012 MES 40 vs. Old Model MES 40

    Looking at Todds pictures it appears this is the same assembly as the Gen-1 but with a larger tray so good or bad?

    2012 MES 40 vs. Old Model MES 40

    The assembly is quite different but there are issues with installation. Will have to talk further with MB. The old and new assembly. Burner more exposed to box and no mounting to support box just sits on burner. Inside of assembly more open but appears there might be less air flow...

    2012 MES 40 vs. Old Model MES 40

    Sounds like the part they are sending me resolves the issue where the wood chip tray could be inserted incorrectly and cause a flare up and also increases the size of the chip tray. I did not think this issue was in the 312/512 and only the gen1/311 (An old Issue). I don't think I need the part...

    2012 MES 40 vs. Old Model MES 40

    Last test I did with the AMNPS was with the water pan in place. I put the AMNPS on the drip pan far left side.Keep away from burner or the pellets will ignite. Be sure and follow Todds instructions for lighting, DON'T RUSH HIS PROCESS. Side vent wide open and loader normal position. This worked...

    I'm not sure the drip deflector really holds back heat but the jury is still out on heat distribution and management with the 512 MES.The deflector does not cover about 1" in the rear and 3" in the front. The Drip pan only catches what misses the deflector and water bowl. The grease tray will...

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

    greenhat4 or anyone who has had the controller off the 512 I am curious how difficult it would be to replace the meat probe. I think the wire of mine was damaged on the assembly line. It was badly kinked and may be the cause of my 20* variance.

    Do you notice a differance with the 3" elbow vent mod? I called and explained some of my issues with MB. Normally I get a girl that does seem to know a few things about the MES. Last call the girl sounded more like sales than support but my point is she was insistent that there is a mod for the...
