Yes the reviews are quite bad for the MES 440S.

I am upgrading to the 40" from a MB 30". I can transfer the leg assembly and MB side smoker to the 40", I believe.


Talk me out of getting a new MES 440S for $303.

The $229 price is from the Black Friday deal. The first one arrived dented. It clearly looked like someone kicked the front of the box on the bottom.

I'm confused. Why didn't they give you a new one at the sale price?

Anyway, my advice is to treat it like a baby with brittle bone disease. Mine isn't heating up to its capacity anymore, even though I was very careful with it.

Sam's did adjust the price for the 2nd one.

That’s a $500 smoker in Canada, if I could find it for $303 in Canada I’d be one that like white on rice.
