I would think it would be an ideal smoker for anyone that wanted the ability to control the heat and smoke separately. I have used mine around six times and had one minor hiccup the second time. I opened the smoke door to check on the wood early on and had a minor flare up. I closed the door and...
Thanks Bear just hoping to let others know what I encounter. Not like I really have a clue what I am doing, heck I barely know how to turn on our stove. We did do another pork shoulder yesterday for a small get together today. It was almost nine pounds. Put it on at noon at 230 degrees with a...
Bear, Thanks for the support and encouragement. My only reason for posting here is to offer some insight to other owners. I know many people with the model smoker have had problems with it. After reading through all of the negative reviews and issues people have had I saw some interesting...
Well so far we have done three meals with this smoker. Did a rotisserie chicken the first meal a 7 pound pork shoulder for the second meal and about six pounds of wings tonight. The upper broiler does a good job with the rotisserie and gives you a very nice final product. We also used it to...
Well I don’t really know much about Masterbuilt other than they are on top of it when it comes to the accessories I have ordered. I have ordered twice and they ship out a couple of hours after I place my order.
Amazon has always been great to deal with in my experience. The unit I bought was...
Yep, I figured for that price I would roll the dice. Plus I went ahead and extended the warranty for another two years for around 25 bucks. Quite a few of the reviews were complaints for damage which seemed to be shipping related. Mine showed up in a box that was almost perfect. There was about...
I have also noticed in the two YouTube videos I have watched from owners of this unit ( one being a broiler installation tutorial) that both guys have the element support installed wrong. In both videos the element center section is hanging below the support. The center of the element recessed...
Well I am a little over one week in with the MES 440s I picked up from Amazon for 159.99 and so far so good. My biggest takeaways from all of the negative reviews would be that people should really follow instructions. The manual clearly states that the smoke setting 1 should be used for chips...
Well the new smoker showed up in good shape and went together very easy. I installed a top element kit in it and the rotisserie. Masterbuilt had those accessories on sale for half off. Did the break in and tested the operation of everything and it all seemed to work well. I saw some negative...
Just wanted to see how the 440s was doing for you after owning it a while. I am expecting to receive mine tomorrow afternoon. I stumbled on it on Amazon last Monday night late when they had it listed for 159.99. They had a three year extended warranty as well for less than 25 bucks (manuf 1 yr...
Hello all new to this forum and new to smoking. Hoping to learn as much as possible from the members here. Picked up an electric Masterbuilt MES 440 s on Amazon last week and hope others here can give me some insight.
