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

    Some awesome testing and discussions going on at that thread, thank you for posting the location. Unfortunately I am not as easy to follow or as organized with my results but hope they are useful and understandable. I did further testing today and if not for the meat temp probe I...

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

    Yea once I figure out the set points I think I can maybe deal with it. The meat probe is a little more of an issue for me at the moment. One thing I did not record this time was the temp variance at different locations on the racks. Guess I will have to invest in a fancy new remote temp gauge...

    Today the AMNPS worked great over drip pan opening tried it on bottom shelf but I had it to close to the burner and ignited another row but was working. Good smoke today. My MES runs cold: Set temp      MES read     Three probes on shelf  1       2      3       4...

    The gauges I have are all reading close to the same on middle rack with some chicken. Around 240 so big difference. Going to do some further temp testing after I get this chicken out of the way.

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

    Going to try to add a couple of pics. Should have just done testing as I planned but cant have smoke and nothing to cook... The AMNPS is working great over the drip pan slot with no pan. MES thinks it is 277 temp is set for 275 and.....

    Curious if the temps remain constant with the drip pan removed and the AMNPS sitting over the drip pan opening?

    Drip pan was removed at the start based on your earlier post. Will try again soon.

    msp2 The black liquid was from my 311 model. Never did figure it out. I took it back to try the 512. MB CS said to not use the MES with the vent closed that the liquid could have been from condensation in the case. I used the 512 today and no problems with the black liquid but also no legs...

    Keep the controller for the next failure.... I have a gen1 controller but now have a gen2 MES. Maybe we are becoming MES parts collectors. If the rain ever stops I want to test my gen2 further. The Cabela's by me in Allen TX only has the gen2 40" (7)  in stock all the others are sold out.

    Thanks great review.

    Thanks, I am very interested in the response from MB! Bummer about the AMNPS I had a feeling. I might be changing smokers to get the most out of the AMNPS. I am a pecan wood pit smoker for many years and not sure the move to electric cooking is going to work for my taste yet but going to give it...

    I know Academy is still selling the 311 for $299 but no extended warranty.

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

    MMMMM Starting to think mine might be going back to Cabela before the 60 day return is over. Too much money for something you can't trust. I burned a hole in a new wood deck with a bad designed fire pit once upon a time. I assume I could still return it. I will give it a try for a while at least...
