    Making a Run for the Boarder!!!!!...

    Did you not see the signs stating, "Wisconsin arrests speeders and drunk drivers"? They mean it...  You can pay on the spot, or go to jail.  Not such a big deal in the age of cell phones and credit cards, but... it was a BIG deal to me 25 years ago, on the way home from a kayaking trip!

    HELP- Which MES 40" model do I want?

    UPDATE:  Returning both "Gen 2" Masterbuilt units, exchanging them for "Gen 1" Masterbuilt from Amazon.  Exchange will cost me about $20. With some of the Gen 2 problems folks have reported, it sounds like over the long run it will be $20 well spent.  I'll be smokin' in no time...  Thanks...

    Thanks, geerock. That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for!  I've already ordered a AMNPS and a selection of pellets, so I'll be ready to roll, shortly.  I'd like to get some skills built up over the winter. I've got a group of buddies coming to my place to camp out for a few days. I'd...

    HELP- Which MES 40" model do I want?

    Does anyone know if one of these models is preferable over the other? I need to return one of them!  I'm starting to think that they're the same thing, just labeled as different models due to different sellers(?). Thanks!

    HELP- Which MES 40" model do I want?

    How do I tell the 1st Gen from the 2nd Gen? Mine have the display/controls and the drip pan in front. I think this means 2nd Gen, but I've still got two different part numbers sitting in my garage. I need to return one... I figured that window would be useless, or nearly so. It sure looks...

    Newbie from south-central MN

    Hello, all-  I'm a complete newbie, both to smoking and this forum.  I found this place while looking for info on Masterbuilt Electric Smokers. I'm going to be using a 40" size. I figure if I'm going to fire it up, I might as well make a bunch of chow!  I've already posted a question on the...
