    Newbie MES40 in San Diego

    Hi treeballcatfarm, I feel like I haven't quite earned the right to post this yet as I've only had my MES 40 about 2 weeks. My first smoke was a 4lb pork butt also and it turned out fantastic!!! My wife liked it so much she went to the store a few days later and got a 6lb and rack of ribs. Again...

    MES 40" burner question

    Thanks for posting SonnyE. I did order an AMNPS and will be using it soon. I will say that on my last smoke, after moving the burner on top of that bracket, my smoker did much better producing smoke. I went ahead and purchased the AMNPS not for "more" smoke necessarily, but to keep from having...

    MES 40" burner question

    Follow up to my post in case anyone is interested.... I called Masterbuilt and spoke to someone and asked about the angled bracket referenced above. She went out into the warehouse where they had smokers set up and opened one and took several pictures and emailed them to me. The burner element...

    Cabelas MES 40 Stand Done

    I bought a little dolly off Amazon that had two handle slits in the sides. The dolly was within 1" of both dimensions of the smoker base. I ran a tie down strap through the handle slits and lashed down the MES to the dolly. That part was great. My only problem is on the couple of smokes I've...

    MES 40" burner question

    I have a 40" MES 2.5 with the vent moved to the top. I saw a video on youtube that showed someone fixing the small angle bracket with small screw near the burner and said the burner needs to be on TOP of that angled piece. So I commenced to moving mine. o_O After I removed the angle piece and...

    Cabelas MES 40 Stand Done

    MAN. What a set up! That is a work of art. That sure beats my little wooden dolly with the tie down strap around my MES. Very nice design and craftsmanship.

    Newbie probs

    Update on my first smoke........... I wound up leaving the 4lb butt on from 2:30pm until 10am the following morning. Added chips about 8 or 10 times. I played around with the temp until the IT read 195*. I know the digital temp gauge on the MES is not accurate so I ordered a ThermoPro TP20 for...

    Newbie probs

    So how does the A-MAZE-N pellet smoker work in the MES? Do you just set it on one of the racks or is there some type of installation required to replace what's currently in the MES?

    Newbie probs

    I tried my first smoke today in my new Masterbuilt 40" electric smoker. The butt was 4lbs. From the Masterbuilt site and other videos it seems that about 1-1 1/4 hours per pound at 225* should have done the trick. I have the built-in probe in the center of the butt, however, after 7 hours the...

    SC newb

    Hey guys. Newb (Daniel) from SC here. I've never smoked meats before but I've eaten a ton of it. Bought my first smoker the other day after visiting a friend in Montana recently. He had a Smokin' Tex 1400 electric smoker and it looked SO easy and the taste was fantastic. So I decided to try my...
