    Analog Masterbuilt MES35B Mods for AMNPS

The stock unit only has a 7/16” exhaust hole in the back which will not be...

    New smoker ....MES 35B Bacon?

    Hello all, I picked up an MES35B which is an analog (not digital) today and plan on using it for Buckboard bacon in a week. Do you see a problem generating smoke at 150 with this unit? Anyone own one? The only electric I’ve had before is a little chief but using that would be a problem as...
