    New MES --Help!!

    Sounds like you might not be getting enough air flow. Do you have the flow dampener fully open? Maybe put a fan blowing at the chip loader. When I installed my Cold Smoke attachment, I noticed the flow decreased a little bit.

    Please help me understand

    I bought my MES40BT from Sams. With the standard set up, when using lower temperature set points, very little smoke is generated. At 250, I got a pretty decent TBS (thin blue smoke), but have to re-load chips every hour. At 225...very little smoke, the chips just aren't burning much. Masterbuilt...

    Bear, I'm just not fond of pellets. Most pellets I've seen aren't the kinds of wood I prefer. I was thinking maybe I could build a device to grind a stump to saw dust, then press the saw dust through a plate to make my own home made pellets.

    New masterbuilt 40 how often do you add chips?

    I'm wondering if I could use the older model chip tray. Seems like a bigger tray than mine, but might just smoke too much. Guess I'll just soak my chips and re-load every 1.5 to 2 hrs. Or I wonder if I use bigger chunks it'll burn longer? I saw a youtube video of a person putting charcoal in...

    It's all good. Seems like all the Masterbuilt models are pretty darn good.

    I think I have the MES40 Gen 2.5...not sure what is a Gen 3. My chip tray seems small, and looking at the chip/burner area, a tray twice its size could be used. I emailed Masterbuilt to see if there is a retrofit kit.

    Just joined the SMF forum

    Thanks Mike. I'm wondering how I can get around re-filling the wood chip tray every 1 to 2 hours. Some people use the AmaZen maze tray modification with a mailbox, but I like using chips, and don't want to use pellets. I'm thinking that modifying the chip tray may allow me to load more chips...

    Webber kettle mod

    looks like the cut outs for the side handles centers the weber and there is plenty of space between the wood and grill to prevent the wood from getting too hot. Some flashing could be installed for added peace of mind. I'd add hooks for the lid and grillin tools. or maybe a drawer for tools n...

    I was wondering if there is an Amazen maze to replace the standard chip tray such that the chip loader can still be utilized???

    Looking to get into electric smoking

    Do you use the AmaZen maze in place of the chip tray, such that you can still utilize the chip loader?

    I re-fill about 1 to 2 hours using the chip loader. I wait until the chips are completely burned up....there isn't even ash in the chip loader. If i use dry chips, it's about every 1 hour, and 2 hours using soaked chips. Kind of tiresome when smoking a brisket for 12 hours. I might look into...
