So I read a bit on the later model gen 2's and specifically why is it thought that these are Not worth purchasing? Is it more speculation based or are the owners really complaining about them as they more than anyone would be the SME on these.
I read where the drip pan is slanted and some other items thought to maybe diminish the unit's function but it seems minor to me....then again I am no expert. Could someone really break it down for those of us less knowledgeable as why it's not a good unit for the price? up until a month ago I thought the MB rocked, then it suddenly went dead. I need to fix it but it also left me thinking you get what you pay for with any of these. I visited a local BBQ smoker shop in the next town over in Manhattan, KS and he just trashed them all all but the food that came out of my G1 smoker with the A-maze-N smoke pan just rocked.
I am looking hard at a Smokintex 1400 unit but the $199 sale they had today on the
masterbuilt was tempting
