MES 340G

Yes, I have considered doing that. I am waiting to hear back from Masterbuilt regarding them replacing my current unit as it was 1st reported to them faulty after only 2 months of limited use. I requested a newer model, Gen 2.5 or higher, if there is anything. They said they need to check into it and get back to me. I did share with them that none of my previous digital models lasted more than 6 months before going wiggy. Just my luck.
Well, I'll see what happens.
Thank you for the suggestion and the info it may come in handy in the future.

Yup---It's good to give them a chance to take care of you, as they often do!!
However if not, "You can Call on Tall".
Good Luck with it.

I just bought the Masterbuilt MES 340G smoker. i had the previous model 40 inch Masterbuilt bluetooth one from Sam's Club but it was damaged last year from a tornado that hit my home. I'm back in my home, so everything is good now. I was just going buy the previous one I had but then I saw the 340G so I ordered it from Sams Club online. I don't think alot of the Sam's Clubs are carrying this yet in store because they still have the previous models available and want to get rid of their inventory first. It seems bigger/taller. Dimensions are 22 3/16 inches width, 15 3/16 inches length, 52 1/2 inches height (if you don't count the sun shield). I used it yesterday to smoke two whole chickens and it worked fine.

Nice to have four caster wheels to move when smoking if necessary.

If they let you down there is the option to do a simple rewire and use an Auber plug and play PID controller and you will have a rock solid electric smoker that you can keep going through anything short of a lightning strike or theft lol :D

If you are curious about the simple rewire approach you can read all kinds of details here:

A number of guys have used it to save broken MES units or simply gain very tight control over their smoker's temp behavior. Enjoy!
