I will try and find out for you. I am willing to bet they no longer make the larger version of the wood chip loader.I saw on another thread that guys were modding there loader after getting the bigger tray so the chips would be spread out better. Does anyone know if Masterbuilt has a replacement loader that accommodates the larger tray (even if I would have to purchase it). Because I would probably screw up my loader while trying to mod it.
Dale,If they don't make the full size chip loader, and if you don't feel like trying to modify it -- others have suggested that you can use the half sized loader and just push it in only half way one time and all the way a second time.
Sounds like a plan to me:-}}
Just picked up a MES40 (20070211) from Sam's to replace my 'borrowed' sidebox unit. Called Masterbuilt to see about the upgraded chip tray and the CSR said that it was not available for my unit. Anyone else know if that's the case or not?
I also ordered up the amaz-n-smoker after reading all the rave reviews on here so perhaps it I don't really need it anyways.

I remember when these two guys started on this forum.I have had my MES for almost a year now. I got an amazen when I bought it.
Have never used the chip tray and the retro kit gathers dust in the closet.

I didn't really think of that way but def. makes sense. After everything I keep reading about the Amaz-n it seems to be the perfect solution. Suppose to show up tomorrow so I know what I'm doing this weekend.MX45,I thought the same thing.Actually,larger tray equals more chips which equal heavy billowing smoke.The thing gets way too hot.I have a 40" w/retro kit and mod-ed the chip loader in order to load more chips evenly.I dont think it's worth it..Once you receive your AMZN,you wont bother with the tray..Goodluck.
