    It was with a wireless thermometer. Glad that's not bad, thanks a always for the input, I'll be using your Boston butt step by step guide for my first attempt!

    Masterbuilt Smokers (Bear’s Thoughts & Findings)

    Thank you! I just tested it out and the left and right side are evenly heated, however I'm getting 10 degree temperature swings (when set to 250 I'm getting 253-263). Is that to be expected and is it a big deal?

    Thank you both for all the help. Last question before I smoke for the first time - do you keep water in the water pan, or run it dry?

    Masterbuilt Smokers (Bear’s Thoughts & Findings)

    Finally got the MES 40 😁 thank you all for your help. I do have another question though. I can get the Auber WS-1200CPH or WSD-1203CPH in my area for a decent price. Would either work for the MES 40 or should I be looking for another model?

    Awesome, thank you for the advice. I'll definitely go for the 40" if it's the same.

    Masterbuilt Smokers (Bear’s Thoughts & Findings)

    Sorry to keep asking questions. This is a 30" but the person told me they have a 40" for sale too. The vent is on the left but the tray looks like one of the older models. Any input on it? They're selling it for only $50. Thank you again, I hope to buy one this week and stop bothering you 😄

    Good afternoon, is there any way you would sell the PID alone?

    I have one more to ask you about. This one has vents on both sides and looks like the 2.5 inside. What do you think? I'm leaning to this one because of the vents...

    Bradley 4 rack smoker?

    Thank you for the quick reply. I would prefer to stay electric for my first. Can you use a pellet tube with the Bradley?

    Bradley 4 rack smoker?

    Good afternoon, I am new to smoking and have been looking at the MES 40 for my first smoker. However, someone just offered me a new Bradley 4 rack smoker for $200, which seems like a great deal. Should I buy that instead?

    Good evening Bear, I've been reading through your posts and trying to find a 2.5, but I can't find one anywhere. I did find this one, which looks similar. What do you think of it? Thank you! https://www.masterbuilt.com/collections/smokers/products/40-inch-bluetooth-digital-electric-smoker
