    Cabela's 40" Black Smoker by Masterbuilt

    I've been searching all over the internet to find the price history of this smoker and can't seem to find anything recent. The lowest price I found was 299 early in 2017, so not too sure how "great" this 279 price is. I know it's solid, but has anyone ever seen it lower? I know I don't have a...

    What generation is this Cabela's MES? $99

    Thanks Gary, I usually only cook for 6-8 adults (4 spatchcocked chickens and some sausage) but I do have a few buddies who have me do their birthday parties and it ends up me doing 2-3 rounds in one day with the smoker and that becomes rather trying near the end when 40 people are looking for...

    Cabela's 40" Black Smoker by Masterbuilt

    I hear you, I am open to making the drive of it, although I don't know how feasible a few days away from home is going to be. I'd be more inclined to just bite the bullet and buy the damn thing and have it brought over for local pickup. The extra 100ish bucks to have that service done is well...

    Cabela's 40" Black Smoker by Masterbuilt

    I agree, and I am aiming for the 2.5. I think I can easily manage with a 30 right now, but in a few years, who knows. I like the idea of having room to grow, just not sure how much that idea if worth cost wise :)

    Cabela's 40" Black Smoker by Masterbuilt

    It isn't crazy far, but the ferry and time is more than the savings I'd have of having it shipped. I'm looking at various options right now, but I still really want this one lol

    I don't have much of a desire to do hotter, I've had some good fun with low and slow. Thank you though

    What generation is this Cabela's MES? $99

    I am very much tempted and have no issues lacking a window, it's just getting the big bugger here that will be the issue lol. I do love the size though.....

    Cabela's 40" Black Smoker by Masterbuilt

    I think so too lol. I just did my final math and I seemed to have missed about a hundred bucks, so it'll be about 525 all in compared to my original hybrid model linked above for 230. That changes things a bit maybe.

    Cabela's 40" Black Smoker by Masterbuilt

    Thank you all, I appreciate your time for replying. I don't know if I "need" the 40 inch, and it is double the price of the current hybrid 30-inch model I am looking at, but I love the increased space and extra racks, plus the bigger element is going to be helpful to maintain temps/improve...

    Cabela's 40" Black Smoker by Masterbuilt

    Evening everyone, I have done some digging around the forum and found some people discussing this smoker but the vast majority of the thread are rather old. Given time has gone by and people have had more experience with the MES 40 (in it's various iterations) I thought I'd check in with people...

    What generation is this Cabela's MES? $99

    Thanks for that, I can appreciate being a perfectionist, but given I am a weekend warrior, this MES 30 may be a good fit for me. Conversely, I was just looking around at the US retailers for the 40 inch models and stumbled upon the Cabela's exclusive MES 40. Comes with the 6 racks included...

    What generation is this Cabela's MES? $99

    Thank you Bear, I am hoping that the difference in design will help offset the heat spread in the box, although a heatshield is a feasible thing to install if it doesn't. I am already going to go up in size from the Bradley 4 rack (573 sq in to 721 I think) so that will help, but since I can't...

    What generation is this Cabela's MES? $99

    Thank you for your reply. I can see the 30 inch having less of an issue for heat swings, but I wasn't sure how big of an issue it'd be given the element, the smoker tube, and the vent will all be on the same side. I'd love to go with the 40 inch version but they are exceptionally hard to find...

    Canadian Smoker :)

    Afternoon all, I have been reading this site for a while but only recently registered for an account. I live in Victoria, BC, and have been smoking using a Bradley digital smoker for 4ish years. I am now looking for something bigger and better (likely a MES 40, although the gen 2.5 are super...

    What generation is this Cabela's MES? $99

    Hello all, first time posting here (I will do roll-call shortly). I am looking at a similar MES on sale here in Canada...
