    Masterbuilt 44inch from Sam's Club

    I recently purchased the same smoker, and I'll share what limited knowledge I can. As far as the smoke amount, the chip tray almost maxed out with a combo of chips & chunks smoked very good for me between 200-250 degrees, longer than the recommended 1 cup full.  Others have modified their wood...

    44in Masterbuilt (Sam's club) Temperature issue

    Only in my limited testing the original set-up was better.  When I tested the cake pan, it was sitting nearly on top of the ^ shaped fire shield.  Others have removed the shield, this may work better.  However, the most recent test i was getting acceptable smoke. Overall, I'm very pleased with...

    44in Masterbuilt (Sam's club) Temperature issue

    Update: I purchased a direct connect hose to tie-in with a gas stub-out from our home.  This enabled me to get temps up to 320 degrees.  Not as hot as I'd like to achieve, but hot enough for most of the cooking I will do. The cake pan mod described in original post, didn't work to good for me...

    Cooking ribs before guests arrive

    I'm not sure about the cooler method half-way through the smoke.  But, I would just begin my cook 4 hours before the guests arrive, you still have one hour of smoke after guests arrive.

    44in Masterbuilt (Sam's club) Temperature issue

    Recently I purchased a 44in Masterbuilt smoker from Sam's Club, model #20051214, and early indications things were looking great.  A door seal kit was added prior to the burn-in. The initial burn-in the smoker performed very well, and the first cook, ribs with all the fixings turned out great. ...

    Just Bought a Masterbuilt Model 20051214, Propane Smoker from Sam's

    I like that set-up JD, at what temperature will the chunks start smoking?  Do you have to turn up the heat a bunch to get it? Thanks, joe

    DaveOmak, I like your recommendation, are you still using this set-up?  Also, do you place a lid on the pan? Thanks in advance.... joe

    Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 44" propane smoker

    I put the smoker together last night and haven't fired it up yet.  Based on recommendations here, I ordered a gasket kit and probably won't season the smoker until it has been added.  The consensus is the wood chip/chunk set-up from the factory is unsatisfactory, but I will give it a test just...

    New Cover for MES 40

    I realize this is an old thread, however, I wanted to share my opinion of the cover.  Like tpalshadow mentioned, the cover I purchased would not fit either.  I was able to get the cover about 2/3 of the way on but no further, it began to tear on one of the corners of the smoker.  It may have fit...

    40" New Generation MES out of stock

    I went to Sam's in Panama City last Saturday for a 40" MES.  They only had the display remaining (they wouldn't sell), I called a couple days later and they had three.  I bought one Wednesday. joe

    New MES?

    I just bought and received the unit your linking from Amazon,  I am very pleased.  I took a look at the one from Home Depot, analog temp control.  In my opinion you will be more pleased with the digital temp control, much less effort(?) to control your cooking temps. If you monitor that smoker...

    MES 30 - first smoke (Butt) w/Q

    Thank you to everyone that has replied to this thread.  I'm still learning and am absorbing everything that has been said up to this point.  It does appear that I had misunderstood the getting to 140 degree temp prior to 4 hours of cook time.  That would be surface temp rather than internal...
