MES upgrade kit purpose ..???

[dogman60]

I am a bit confused when I received a free upgrade kit from Masterbuilt . My unit was well out if warranty
And they stated the upgraded chip holder tray and feeder tube was re designed to prevent flare ups . I never had that issue but wondering if anyone else has and the reason ( other than a overfilled chop tray ) that a flare up would occur . I use a wide vatiety of chip types
Including the Bradley pucks
And my own custom mixed wood
chips and never a problem .
They (MES) cust service again replaced at no charge another
control panel ... my indicator green led for the on /off was intermittent and
the problem is common with the panels from that vendor.

Masterbuilt does have their problems, but luckily they have one of the best customer service departments around.

They have a lot of units in use & I think that the problems they have are small compared to the amount of units they have sold.

Thanks Al I am quite happy with my 30 I was just wondering about the change in the chip tray and the smaller size chip holder . And yes MES smokers are backed up well with Customer Service.
