I'm wanting to purchase an MES 30 but am unsure if it is better with the window or without. What are your thoughts? I also am going to get the Amaze N smoker tray and read somewhere that the AMPS smoker doesn't work with the model with the window. What are your opinions and experiences?
 
I really don't see the need for a window in any smoker. All you should see is smoke if you look in. A good reliable thermometer both for oven temp. and internal food is more important. I would suggest you check posts on this site and buy the model that the other MB users say is the most reliable!
 
I have the MES40 with window, I like that I can see what is going on with my cooking. Window cleans easy with white vinegar.

The gen 1 is the better unit the gen 2s have a lot of issues.
 
I bought the basic black MES 30 model #20070910, which doesn't have the window or a remote and I don't miss either one. I've got a window in my kitchen oven door which gets so dirty you can't see through it clearly because we don't clean it all the time since it's a hassle to clean when we do. Because of that experience I chose not to get a windowed MES model both because I didn't need one AND it was cheaper.
