2012 MES 40 Now at Sam's

[roadkill cafe]

I was just on the Sam's website and see they now have the 2012 MES 40 available for $299.98. The 2012 model # is different now, 20072612 (possibly due to the re-engineered chip tray unit from the recall). Currently it shows that it's only available online. In the pictures of the 2012 model, it shows the inside picture of the 2011 which is different. Dimensions are slightly different between the 2012 & 2011 also. 25"L x 20.1"W x 40.2"D (2012) vs. 25.6"L x 19.3"W x 41.3"D (2011). Here's a link: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/electric-smoker/prod7080346.ip

Just thought I'd pass the info along.

Sweet...I'd call them before trekking over there. When I was looking at the MES they showed in stock but when I got there none were on the sales floor. The Customer Service Manager said they had been out for quite some time. Like I needed to waste the gas. Here's the item # if you need it. MES Model: 20072612 Sam's Item #: 638439.

If you're not a Sam's Club Member you can still shop there. Here's links to the One Day Pass http://help.samsclub.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/279?rdir=true&&_requestid=26705

Just ordered one. Been wanting one all year. The wife said "Go Ahead" She loves what comes out of my propane or side smokers. love the idea of setting up some butts and not checking them every hour or two. Now, should I get a AMNPS? If so which one for the MES 40?

Just ordered the new generation 40 online from Sam's, shows I should have it late next week but with the holiday who knows.  Still using the MES 30 but looking for something with more room.

 Absolutely, I have the AMNPS and love it, but I hear good things about the AMNTS (tube smoker) too. You should drop Todd a line or call and ask. Congrats on your pending new MES.

Anybody get the new model from SAMS yet?

Is SAMS delivering the new model or old model?

I have (3) of the older models, and want a new 2012 model to play with

Hey Todd, as I rcall, Garyinmd received the 2012 model. Also, as posted on Sam's website, from 11/24/12 to 12/2/12 there's FREE STANDARD SHIPPING on this unit as a Cyber Week Special. Pretty cool, huh? I wish I had waited. Could have save quite a bit.

Don't forget that Sams sells a 1 year and 2 year extended warranty.  I don't know what the cost is anymore but 6 years ago the 1yr was $15 and the 2 year was $30.  The MFG warranty is 90 days from date of purchase.  I'm not a big fan of extended warranties, but in this case I am.  There are stories from SMF members of their MES failing after one year and getting a new MES as a replacement since they had the 2 yr warranty.

Got mine delivered from SAMs last Wednesday. Seasoned it that night along with the AMNPS that came from you also on Wednesday. Then we had to take a holiday road trip. Finally have some TBS happening right now with some ribs.

I might just buy this thing to, that's cheap for the new version and I'm a member. But can a person leave this on there deck in the winter time or should I wait till spring since 2 cars take up our garage in the winter. Would probably have to buy some tarp or some grill cover because I have heard not to buy there's as it's thin non waterproof junk.

Can one of the new owners post a picture of the data plate for me. I wanted some information from the new plate. It should be on the back. I don't need the serial number you should black it out in the picture so no one can use it. Thanks.

 

[garyinmd]

Texacajun, I will try to remember tonight to get picture.  I took a couple but just of the serial number to register it with MB.

roadkill tks for the pic......one thing helped me was on the back label it shows watts 1200...there was concern due to an advertisement it may only be 650 watt...believe the shipping box showed that.....on one of the post.  this should help clear that issue up

Not a problem Pappy. I don't think 650w would ever get a 40 up to temp efficiently. Especially in the colder weather outside of my area.

 

[pappy50]

got you sir

Man as I starting to get concerned with all the talks of the 2nd generation only being 650 watt. I just bought one from sams tonight, they had two left, one was the model with the controls on the back and the other the one pictured above and they were the same price. My back plate also states 1200 watt.....

I will provide a review after I cure it and smoke in it....

Thanks,
Tony
