How Many Mes Owners Here?

Karma struck me right after this! I've only had my dishwasher 7 years and she let me know this was my mess!

Are you trying to tell us that your wife's name is Karma and she beats you? Do you need us to call the police for you?

Holy Moly! I couldn't see how the heating element housing faired. If your water pan was in there you just invented a new block of cheese. Could you save most of it?

Hehe, no, but thank you for the offer. I deserve it!

Heating element looked like an overdone casa de nacho. Took a while to scrape off. I had this in yesterday and so all the cheese went to waste. Hence the karma remark when I mentioned not cleaning my smoker to Bear!

Chambersburg PA. It's about 3-4$ per pound when it's on sale... Then we have to get it here. Two 5lb blocks fit in a medium USPS flat rate, so that's another $15.

That's about an hour an 40 minute drive for me, Just bought a car there last year, $3-$4 is a good price.

You did, but it came up in the middle of my quote.

Tip:  You can hit "Edit" on any of your own posts (click on the little pencil at the bottom left corner). Then you can change anything you want, or delete, or add to it.

The only thing you can't do is delete the whole post.

I've had a 40" w/window about 3 years.  I love it.  Great for smoking a lot of food.  I can smoke 400+ ABTs or 14 racks of ribs at once by using extra shelving.  Some times I just wanted to cook one rack and a few sweet potatoes.  So, when I found a 30" w/window for $199, I got it.  Now that's my go to smoker. I use it 3 - 4 times a month.  I still use the 40" when I cook for a crowd. ( picnics, parties, church, etc. )   Being a certified bbq judge for the Florida BBQ Association, I get to eat some really good bbq.  I still like what I make in my MES best.  Smoke On

Ok, so I'm a to-be owner of a 40" BT MES.  I found it online and ordered it from Cabela's but it has a 4-5 week back order for 301 clams.  

From everything I can tell this is the 2.5 Gen with 6 shelves.  This model doesn't have window which doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Anyone familiar with this model?

I'm attempting to get the Masterbuilt product number but right now this is the only info I've got.  If it turns out to be a GEN 2 or someone has some reservations about this model I can cancel the order before it ships.

Product Info: "Cabela's 40" Black Smoker by Masterbuilt"

Item: IK-552046

• Integrated Bluetooth technology turns your smart device into a remote control
• 1,462-sq.-in. of cooking space lets you smoke all of your favorites at once
• Thermostatic temperature control delivers consistent smoking up to 275°F
• Simple-to-operate woodchip loading system

Thanks

The model no is needed to identify what smoker it is.

I understand that would help, but having talked with Cabela's they couldn't/wouldn't provide the model number.

They verified that it had a "multi-level" water pan.

So how about this question: Are there bluetooth GEN 2 models?

If it's got a "Multilevel" water pan, that should be a good one, and if it's got a bluetooth set-up & the multilevel water pan, it's a Gen #2.5. That's the one I'm using now & I love it even more than my 6 year old Gen #1.

And I don't think there are any Bluetooth Gen #2, as the Bluetooth came out after the Gen #2.
