I just got my new masterbuilt digital 30" delivered. I think it's the 130B ? Replaces my old 30" MES that just died after 5 years or so. I figure it's probably the terminals disintegrated ,it doesn't heat. It acts as though it should be heating but it doesn't. Anyway just got the new one delivered and the box didn't look bad but the top of the unit is smashed pretty good. I opened it upside down so until I had it all unwrapped I didn't notice the damage. Even if it wasn't damaged I think I'd still send it back. The build quality has just went so far downhill. It seems like I paid $130 for my old one. This one was $200. Stainless tray,stainless interior,heavy chrome rails for the racks etc. The new one is all aluminum or whatever and the racks fall out of the areas they slide into. The area is just stamped into the interior walls. I don't think that's a result of the smashed top,just racks aren't quite wide enough and the ledges/rails they slide into aren't "sharp" enough so they tend to just slide out/ off the rails. I need an electric smoker and I'd like something built like the MES ,or I should say built like the old MES. I didn't want to mess around with my old one. It's just so filthy I just want to replace it. It may have been longer than 5 years and I've used it quite a bit. It's in my garage and I smoke year round. I've got the cold smoker thing for it so it can smoke for ever (just about). I'd also like something I could buy at a store and open at the store to check for damage. I don't care about bluetooth and all the other stuff. I've got by for 20 years with my digital thermometer and haven't even used the remote unit that came with the thermometer. Maybe step up to a masterbuilt that's "higher up on the foodchain" . Thanks in advance for the replies.
