I've been reading for days trying to choose an MES that won't be a poor reliability investment.
I've been smoking for about a year on my Weber propane grill that I temporarily convert. I'd like something more set-and-forget and something dedicated for smoking.
I'm convinced 30" is about the right size for me.
And I like MES because it's available at Amazon.
But it appears as if most electric units have reliability issues. I don't want to purchase something that I have to modify to keep functional. And the fact that Masterbuilt only offers a 90-day warranty is concerning.
Recommendations here suggest that the 1st gen is better than the 2nd gen; but I don't know how to distinguish the two. Is 1st gen being sold alongside the 2nd gen units?
Please help me choose a model that won't disappoint. I did like the 20070312.
Thanks!
