    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Seems like it. And while I agree that it's awesome they are offering that discount, I'm still stuck on the fact that I'd have to pay some more right now. Might wait a while and see how much i really dislike the Bluetooth. I've only used it for the seasoning process so far. Gonna try it out with...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I wouldnt be surprised. But now I'm trying to think if spending another $40 on top of everything I've already spent is worth it. Maybe further down the line when I'm thoroughly annoyed with the bluetooth and have more money to spend

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    So i emailed customer service about this and this was their reply: "Both the Bluetooth connection and our RF remotes have a range of up to 100 feet. However, that would decrease if there is interference. You can convert your smoker from Bluetooth to the RF remote, but you would need to purchase...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I think I read those, where you mentioned that the temperature on the panel was saying like 900 degrees or something? But if we don't have that issue, should we just ask for the RF attachment outright or would we have to tell a little white lie that our panel is messed up in order to get it?  I...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Well guys, I bought the 40" Gen 2.5 BT Smoker yesterday! Just did the 3 hour pre-seasoning of the smoker and then the 1 hour pre-seasoning separately for the cold smoker. Everything went great. Although my worries were correct about the terrible Bluetooth range. I might as well just go back...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Thanks for that input! That's exactly what I was looking for. I had a co-worker who said pretty the same thing, so the confirmation is great. he was saying he leaves the power on the cold smoker on the whole time though. Is that necessary or just until you get it smoking and then can turn it off...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Hmm, some valid points. I think the main one that would matter for me is the cover part. But otherwise i think the cold smoker shares many of the other aspects, like easy loading just dump chips in and then ash tray gets cleaned out after. And no need for external heat from the torch (which is...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    So what are you thoughts on this AMPS vs Cold Smoker issue? To me they seem to have the same purpose, but the cold smoker seems to be just a little bit less of a hassle, which I was thinking would be nice for a newbie.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Ya I have those bookmarked, they are very well done. I'm super excited to go buy my smoker later this week. Gonna do the Gen 2.5 based off of your intense research on all the different models. Was almost the "Proud" owner of a Gen 2 before I read that post you made, so thanks a bunch!

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    And the foiling, if I remember correctly, is where you add some sort of baste/flavor sometimes and then foil it for the last hour or so to get it really moist and cooked through properly?

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Hmm, thats what I always had thought a smoker was for, to leave the smoke on there the whole time lol. But when i saw that 6 hours wasnt usually needed I wasnt sure. Maybe he meant it takes less than 6 hours to cook most meats? I'll primarily be doing beef and chicken.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Thanks for the replies guys! Candurin: From what masterbuilt advertises, the cold smoker attachment can be used separately from the heater to cold smoke foods like cheese and salmon without heating them but it also can be used together with the regular electric heater so you can have the smoke...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Hey guys, first time smoker here. This thread and Bear's posts have been a Godsend for a greenhorn smoker like myself. Almost bought a 2nd gen the other day, thankfully it didnt work out. Got home and read all the research on the different generations and let out a sigh of relief. I'm now...
