    Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smoker - No Smoke, Chip Tray Height Fix

    That cold smoker kit is fantastic, almost works too well and I found that out the hard way with some chicken breasts...they ended up a bit too smokey, couldn't taste the Bachan's japanese bbq sauce or the meat church holy gospel rub. Whoops. I mounted mine to the side per the instructions...

    MES30 reading much higher than Smoke X

I do have the top controller from my last MES30, saved it and the grates just in case, might swap that on and see if it makes...

    MES30 reading much higher than Smoke X

    Just finished putting together my second MES30, first one died after just over 2 years of faithful service. New one out of the box would barely char the chips in the tray even after fiddling with it and dealing with MB customer support, so it now has the cold smoker kit installed...along with a...
