    Best deal on MES 30 or 40?

    Sam's Club has the 40" for $299.  If that's within your budget, it's a great smoker. Mike

    MES 30 vs. MES 40?

    I had the same decision to make just a few weeks ago and ended up buying the MES 40" from SAM's Club for $299 and the AMNPS from Todd with his current discount.  For smoke generation the AMNPS is really important for "set it and forget " that you are looking for.  The extra room will come in...

    quick update.  My MES 40's inaugural smoke was some bone-in country spare ribs this evening.  Boy do I love this smoker, so easy and such great results.  Using one of Todd's a-maze-n devices (AMNPS) is a must, it's just so load and go and provides the right amount of smoke.  Here's a qQview. ...

    MES owners - question about your door seal

    Agreed.  I purchased an MES 40 from Sam's last week and used it for the first time tonight.  The door seal did not leak during pre-seasoning or during the smoke.  That should not happen. Good luck with the new seal. Mike

    Anyone know of any problems with the Masterbuilt offices?

    I called yesterday to order a retro chip tray and was on hold for 45 minutes then hung up to do something else.  The phone was constantly busy for the next hour, then another 25 minutes on hold before someone finally answered.  The chip trays are still on back order.  Good luck contacting...

    $75, you know how to hurt a guy :-)  To Barflyngrill:  I hope to purchase a 3 year warranty if Sam's still offers it.  Then I get a new one in 2 1/2 years.

    Almost forgot, I'll order the retro-fit wood chip tray if it's not already there. The AMNPS sounds like a great product too, but since I'm over budget, any coupons for the holidays Todd?  This is going to be fun !!!

    Thanks everyone, I appreciate the validation and the wife is also in agreement which never hurts.  So off to Sams Club after the holiday to get the MES 40 and I'll post a few pics after the first smoke.  Probably a butt or a briskett, not sure which order. Enjoy your Thanksgiving, Mike

    I'm buying an MES in the next 2 days and have been driving myself (and wife) crazy researching a few points. First, thank you all for sharing your thoughts in the earlier posts.  I would just ask for any last minute thoughts if you have time. 1) Size is my major confusion.  I will cook mostly...

    I'm ready to pull the trigger on an MES 30" but a good deal came up on Craigslist.tonight.

    Geez, I guess it would not hurt to look at the 30 vs 40 threads :-)

    I'm ready to pull the trigger on an MES 30" but a good deal came up on Craigslist.tonight.

    Unfortunately, Bass Pro will not have the 40 on sale.  I did go to Sam's Club today to look at the MES SS 40 at $299, very nice, but almost twice the price.  So, if the MES 30 gets too small, I'll put it up for sale and move up and on to the 40.  That should be a couple years away and there may...

    I'm ready to pull the trigger on an MES 30" but a good deal came up on Craigslist.tonight.

    Thanks Al, I decided to go for the new MES SS 30 from Bass Pro for $179 on Black Friday (arggg, have to be up at 4am).  Bass Pro also sent me a $10 Member Rewards which brings the price down to $169 plus 5% to Virginia.  A very good deal indeed.  I can't wait to do a pork butt, ribs and my...
