    Best Electric Smoker? MES or not...

    Yeah I might take a shot at this. Are there other reliable PIDs that would hook up the same way and can be used with these instructions so I can try it out without spending the $150 on the Auber? I have like 3 MES that have some level of dysfunction. If I can get this PID mod to work with a...

    Masterbuilt Signature Series not heating past 200F

    They sent me out a total of 3 new controllers before finally just refunding my money. They get an A for effort and customer service, and a D- for quality control. Still trying to decide if I want to get a new smoker and/or which one. Like the Smokin-it smokers but they are fugly and REALLY...

    If you could buy a new electric smoker for up to $500, which one would it be?

    While I havent done the PID controller, Ive done the mailbox mod and the smoker tray. The tray is pretty much useless for me. I can never keep it lit. Ive baked or nuked the pellets first to dry them out, let the flame burn for 10m first etc. Followed all the instructions, tips/tricks and it...

    Electric Smoker PID controller build

    This looks interesting. When you say "plug and go", does that mean I plug in the smoker power cord to your conroller, then plug the controller power into the wall? Easy Install is key for guys like me. If its pretty simple, please add me to the list!

    Best Electric Smoker? MES or not...

    TallBM, if only you were closer Id pay you to put this PID contoller in. This is simply beyond my ability and/or desire to mess with electrical stuff that I am going to set and forget about until my temp alarm goes off.

    Best Electric Smoker? MES or not...

    If I were mechanically or electrically inclined at all I might try it. Being that Im not, Id rather just get a smoker that works without having to modify it.

    Best Electric Smoker? MES or not...

    So Im on my 3rd electric smoker.. My first was a 30" Bass Pro Shop special, made by masterbuilt. Made alot of good food out of it, but the thing kept blowing the hi/low temp shutoff sensor and taking off the back to replace it (and some of the wiring at times) got to be a pain so it was retired...

    Does anyone actually clean the inside of their smoker?

    Just thumbing thru the manual, it has a youtube link for a video on cleaning the inside. I always left the inside as it is, good seasoning. What do you guys do?
