    Arrrgh! My MES 40 burst aflame...

    I'll be calling MN in the next couple days... I'd only under half filled my AMAZN, and lit both ends, so it was working right. Don't remember if it's a first or second generation mes40. I think it's 2nd... but I'll check before I call them, obviously... Thanks for all the input! B.

    Arrrgh! My MES 40 burst aflame...

    Hi All! Haven't been in touch with Masterbuilt, yet. I will tho. Been busy. To answer somebof the questions, nothing in it to disturb air flow. I smoke right on the racks. No stones/tiles, etc... the unit is almost four years old. Fairly lightly used, overall. I keep it outside on my deck...

    Arrrgh! My MES 40 burst aflame...

    So yesterday I was making ribs. At the 2-1/2 hour mark I went out to foil them. My A MAZ N was out so I was relighting it. While doing so (outside the smoker!), I heard an electrical buzz and the flame appeared in the back left bottom corner of the smoker! Glad I was there when it happened, as I...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    In addition to what was said above, the stack on the vent allows you to direct it away from the direction of the wind, stopping the wind from blowing INTO your smoker and screwing with the airflow and heating of the Smoker. HTH, B. EDIT: I thought you were referring to the elbow that many of...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Hey Mattu1665, If it's a matter of the amount of smoke you feel you're missing, try lighting the AMZN at both ends, it doublesthe amount of smoke it makes and increases the flavor that gets into your meats. HTH, Brian Good Smoking, Folks!

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I have to 40" SS with window, I think it's 1200watt, but not sure, now. Got it a year and a half ago from Costco. I love it. I came from a Brinkman square vertical coal smoker. It was tough to maintain the temps and a pain to keep loading it, etc. I was getting ready to have a leg surgery...

    New to sausage making

    With my MES, it's hard to get smoke at lower temps. I use an A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker to get the smoke needed on lower temp smokes. Shoot, I use it for smoke in ALL my smokes, now! I haven't tried sausage (yet!), but will soon. Later, B.

    Smoking some cheese in a little while... (Now With Q-View!!)

    Thanks for the tips!  All help is appreciated.  I can see what you mean about the heat from the AMZNPS.  The cheese directly above it got a little melty-ish.  Higher would have been better.  But they're still OK.  Here goes the Q-View... Very happy.with the outcome, overall.  The...
