    mes 30 20071014 fire!

    Just to clarify the model number issue a little, I'll use the following example using the 20070910 which is the 30" Gen 1 which is all black, no window, no meat probe, etc.  The last two digits are the year  (or close) to when it was introduced.  There are also "future use" numbers on the...

    MES 20076314

    The model you have is basically a standard Gen II, 30" smoker.  It required a new model number due to the customer packaging, and the fact that it had several "pack-ins" that were specified by QVC.  Tks.  Darryl

    lack of smoke upgrade kit

    Hey Guy's,     Just a quick update.  We are running low on the retro-kits, but I have arranged for an air-shipment, so if there is any delay, it should be short lived.  Also, I wanted to respond to Dale's question directly.  The older units (prior to the chip tray/wattage change) were not...

    lack of smoke upgrade kit

    Hey Guy's,       Without going into great detail, we did have some issues with the ESQ30 (Window, and non-window) not producing enough smoke.  As you all know, the change to the chip box/chip tray was made at the same time that we increased the wattage on our elements.  Although this new design...

    Low temp in new masterbuilt smoker

    Hi Tom,     I went out, and fired up that 106 Smoker, and on high for 20 minutes, it reached 396F.  I placed the unit in the shade before testing, to get a more accurate reading, as I'm sure in would have been higher in the direct sun.  The stock heat indicator was lagging behind, as hopefully...
