I just took a peak at the Bass Pro Shops 2010 Black Friday Ad. Black Friday is the huge sale on the day after Thanksgiving. They will be selling the 30" Stainless MES for $179. They normally have it listed for $299.
Here is the ad itself:

If you look at the ad this is not the stainless steel unit . It is the model w/ the stainless door. This is the same unit that sams sells in the 40"for $298. When i called bps and asked if it was a stainless unit .They replied yes. When i asked ,Then why does the picture show a smoker that just has a stainless door ? The reply was that is a stainless unit.

BearEman,
You can't always go by what you hear over the phone. When I called Masterbuilt, a very nice lady said both the MES 40s at Sam's and at Cabela's were the same---ALL Stainless. I asked why the price was $100 difference? She said some places have higher mark-ups, I guess. I asked, since the one from Sam's Model number ends in #211, and Cabela's ends in #311, what is the difference? She said nothing at all, they are both the same.
That's why I wanted to get one at Sam's, until I found out that phone info was entirely wrong!
You know the rest,
Bear
I know. I have used your list more than once. I for one am glad you collected it.Bear
This is the exact reasoning behind the model number list i made. I could never get a straight answer from anyone at Masterbuilt. I have called and asked them more than once about the model number and what options each had. I also found out that some of the model numbers on the list are only available in Canada. The list is up to date with all the options available on all the models produced so far. I still need to get pictures posted of all the options for references.
Thanks Bear I am always willing to help. As with many more on the Forum.I know. I have used your list more than once. I for one am glad you collected it.

I don't know if they do or not, but I think I will brave the stupid people and get one. It is my birthday anyway, so they should get out of my way! LOL...Some stores will let you buy on line on black Friday for the same price as their add. Does anyone know if Bass Pro honors there black Friday adds on line.I just took a peak at the Bass Pro Shops 2010 Black Friday Ad. Black Friday is the huge sale on the day after Thanksgiving.

I don't believe you can buy it online. This site: http://www.black-friday.net/bf/bassproshops-black-friday.html has it indicated as being a "Door Buster", so I would presume you need to be there to get that price.Some stores will let you buy on line on black Friday for the same price as their add.

First time poster long time lurker, with the above mentioned problem with the model number I have found that 2 stores will have different numbers so there con be no price matching then. Also I have the 30" MES Bass pro sold last year and it has worked great, picked that one up at 10AM and they had 20 of them left. So I wouldn't rush, the 30" does seem small, I have a brisket in now and it barely fits on the grate, and usually my ribs I have to cut the slabs in half. Go with the 40" model, it will be worth not having to kill the meat.
