Same issue as the 1 gen MES. Looks like a heat deflector of some kind is in the works for you Todd.
The only thing I can come up with on the temp difference's between the meat prob and the controller. Is that
the controller is programed this way. The rocketing temp is the biggest issue. I hope...
Todd I noticed that the drip pan/heat deflector in the first test was installed upside down and in the replacement unit you showed it installed correctly.
Could this be the swing differences in right to left in the each one of the test? Or is the pictures incorrect and you had the drip pan/heat...

Call masterbuilt and tell them you have a newer 40''(one with a heating element access door on the back) and need a replacement heating element. You may have to get the part number for the 40''. This will be a 1200 watt element not a 650 or 800 Watt element. I had to do this when i did this mod...
I am with you on both of your 2C. I always preheat and add hot water. I hope we will not find any other issues with the 2 Gen units like this.
But it looks like most of us have figured out all the issues on the 1 Gen MES. There are going to be just as many on the 2 Gens to come.
Thanks...
This is so true Todd. We all know that this is just one of the issues with Masterbuilt. As you found out about the Gen 2 and the door screws.
In the past most people just trash the hole thing. Some of us dint have the technical know how to replace a .05 cent part with a .20 cent part.

• Start the smoke with a few wood chips. The manual says 1 cup max, you will find a hand full is almost too much. 1st chip dump just...
What model number MES and what year did you purchase it?
Sounds like it could be the wiring on the heating element or the controller.
If you have a heating element access door on the back of the unit.
Look for loose or burnt wired connections to the heating element.
I have included some...
If you have a window on your smoker here are some cleaning tips for that from
