    New MES 40 - 3 day smoke-fest!

    Funny, I just got my 40 inch MES and just finished my last couple of flintstone ribs from my 3 day ribfest.  To make a long story short, Friday overnight pork butt, flintstone beef ribs most of Saturday, chicken parts, around 10 pounds including wings Sunday, leftovers Monday.  No pics this...

    Masterbuilt Smokers (Bear’s Thoughts & Findings)

    I'm looking for a new door for an MES 40 inch digital.  I know many of these were decommissioned and there should be plenty of parts floating around so I was wondering if anyone saved a door (maybe even with hinges and latch)  and would be willing to sell it?  They are kind of pricey new...

    I saw others posting many links to Amazon, etc...  I was actually asked to post it.  ARE YOU THE MODERATOR?

    Sorry about the multiple posts, but to your point about temp control, the oven thermostat cycling is actually a bonus as it produces more smoke than the PID.  The tight control and fast cycling of the element may actually limit its ability to get the wood going...

    Rebuilding 1st Gen MES

    you guys missed my point - oven thermostat. 30-110 celsius, I'm getting perfect 250 degrees and it cycles perfectly for max smoke. here is a picture, I even added a little indicator lamp to show me when the element is on.

    Thanks for the details.  I also went through the page with the wiring upgrade instructions and looked at the pictures.  Mine has a different controller board.  It has comm. wires for the digital display and led light.  The connections to the hot and the relay are similar but as far as I can...

    Rebuilding 1st Gen MES

    Hello, thanks for the details.  Where did you find the thermal switch's leads and what did you wire them?  Is it on the element or control?  I'm a little confused because when I stripped the MES, I can see the wires to the element and of course the built in thermocouple.  I see the thermal...
