Yo those who previously owned a 40" MES with the 750 watt elements, and have since purchased the new 40" with 1200 watt elements, some question?
If you own the new 40", and didn't previously own the 750w unit feel free to comment too.
• Heat recovery, do you notice the difference?
• Does the extra wattage cause short cycling, similar to the 30" so that wood chips won't burn consistently?
• What about the extra BTUs of heat, is it causing any change in the way you cook?
• How about the water, has the extra heat resulted in the need to add additional water?
• The older 750w units, if you placed your hand on the case anywhere around the wood tray, and same area on the opposite the it will get fairly hot in that area. How about the 1200w units where are the hot spots?
Your input is appreciated....
