Masterbuilt Smokers

[Texan4ut]

I have a question what is the difference between the MES 130B and the Masterbuilt 800 watt smoker? They both look the same, however the 130B is 299.00 at Lowes and the 800.watt is 189.99 Thanks in advance.

I would assume the 130b probably is more watts, not positive though , I'm sure someone will be around with an answer for you.

I don't think so. As far as I know all 30" models come with the 800w element. May be an older model that they're trying to clear out . The 130b is the newer shelf model

Fivetricks I believe you are right. On the Masterbuilt website they have the 30 800 watt on clearance. So I guess the MES 130B is the new model.

I found a MES 130B for 181.99 on Walmart's website. The Lowes price which I incorrectly posted as $299.00 was actually 229.00. Printed out the Walmart ad took it to Lowes and they matched the price. So I am currently seasoning it and going to smoke a pork butt when it is seasoned.

good luck with your new smoker

Thanks smoker Jim. Got a butt on it as we speak.

That's way too clean. I've had my 130B for about 6 months and the inside is almost the same color as the outside. I'd take a picture but currently doing pork shoulder. (Hee Hee)

I put the butt on around noon, Amnps layed in the bottom for smoke and temp set 225. Hit the stall at around 7:00 with the internal temp around 150. Pulled it and wrapped in peach paper and back on. Finally hi195 at 3 am.
