    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Thanks - your comments make sense. MB was very very cordial, and offered a few suggestions (which I had tried) Their recommendation was to use a fairly small amount of chips (1/2 cup max) and start the smoker cold; they said do NOT preheat it. This keeps the burner on longer and allows the chips...

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Tamathumper - I like that idea of allowing the door to leak! As luck would have it, my door seals GREAT, but I can 'fix' that! And thanks to Paladini, I see that the door hinge can be adjusted - I'll definitely give that a try! Thanks, Tony

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Well... if anyone's still following Non-smoking Master Built smoker dilemma, here's a quick recap, and my latest update. I have the 30" MBES, 'analog' version, model 20070210. This model has NO exhaust vent, and my problem is it does NOT produce adequate (at least in my opinion) smoke. I've...

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Yes, my questions & posts are based on the NEW 30" Analog model, which has NO adjustable vent, only a small (appx 1/2") hole in the upper right back. Migraine - thanks for the info on your mods. I'm definitely going to do some drilling on mine to get more airflow. As it is, at temps under...

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Replying to my own post, great. :-) Hopefully, this can help anyone else with the same smoker/issues. I just heard from MB - actually ended up calling them. They were quick to answer, and very friendly, so A+ for that. They tell me that this particular model (20070210) does NOT have a 'real'...

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Another update on my 'ventless' smoker. I used it over the weekend to smoke a rack of ribs. Used the recommended 3-2-1 method, and had to cut the time a little short, but they came out GREAT! The time was cut short due to the temp being higher than indicated on the dial (I've since 'calibrated'...

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Thanks for the info... Great group! Quick update on my "ventless" MEB 30 I went ahead and fired it up to season the smoker. During the final 45 minutes (per the enclosed instructions) I added wood chips, and lo and behold, I've got smoke! Smoke comes out thru the tiny vent hole, as well as...

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Just got my first smoker, and I'm a bit confused.... sound familiar?! :-) My new MES 30, model 20070210, only has a small 'vent' hole, maybe 1/2" round, in the upper right side of the back panel. I was looking to do a soup can or chimney mod as many have suggested, but it doesn't seem possible...
