Couple Masterbuilt Electric smokers are on sale for father's day on Amazon and I've been thinking about getting one but wanted options first so I don't waste money. I know they get good marks on Amazon but I wanted to get opinions from the true pros:thumbup:. Obviously there is a price difference between them as well but I want to know if one is better than the other. Here they are. Thanks.

Academy is doing a little bait and switch! The flyer is for the 40" which is a great price. Then you click on "buy now" and it's a 30". I'd be on it if out was the 40". Thanks though.
 
Yes! Just look at Bear's Step by Steps and see a world of possibilities!  

Probably the only mod. I would suggest would be to get an Amazin smoke generator!

Don't forget, you can't trust the monitor on any of the MES smokers.  They're going to be off.  Invest in a good Maverick digital monitor from amazenproducts.com.
 
Let me ask you guys this. Is it worth it to get a Bradley smoker instead of an MES?
I don't know if they made changes since, but the last I heard was they were underpowered & their Smoking Pucks cost a small fortune.

This however is just from reading the complaints, but that was why I didn't get one 6 years ago, instead of my MES.

That's perfect. Thanks for the info. Are you the "bear" that does the mods mentioned above?

I don't have much in the way of Mods, because my MES 40 Gen #1 doesn't need much help.

All I have in mine is my AMNPS, my heat deflector, and my bug preventer on my top vent.

I do have a Step by Step Index that makes things easy for Newbies:

Just click on "Bear's Step by Steps".
