:D
No bluetooth. I see.. I wouldn't want Bluetooth
I have that exact smoker . Bought from Cabelas in 2013 for $149.00 as a black Friday deal . 4 years of heavy use . Guess I got lucky , no problems other than the normal learning curve .
Ok , have to correct myself . I have this one . Maybe the same .

What's the difference in the two ?

Thanks Gents! Half of me said 2.5 since I think Gen2 is front touch panel and the other half said it's gotta be older for such a low price. Hopefully this thing has the wheels on the back.
Just pulled the trigger. $99 and free ship code... Interested in how it compares to my MB gasser. Bluetooth, window, and stainless can wait. :D Todd was still running the Black Friday code so I got the AMNPS and a load of apple pellets and dust to boot. Thanks again.
Guys,
After some studying, I should say that the one Chopsaw is showing is definitely a Gen #1.
The one Zwiller is showing has the Gen #1 exterior, but since it doesn't show the inside, the inside could be a Gen #1, or it could be the inside of a Gen #2.5, which would make it a "Hybrid". It wouldn't really matter---They're both good.
The only thing bad would be if it has the top vent on the back right instead of the back left, but it can be dealt with.

Per MB Customer Service: Model is custom offering only to Cabela's but Gen 1. Per Cabela's, round water pan and vent on top right... First time I have heard of vent placement issue. I plan to add some thermal mass,. not sure if that will help.
Bear,
Why would it be bad if the top vent was on the back right?
Denny
That's the only thing wrong with a Gen #1:
With the heating element mostly on the Right, and the Top Vent on the Right, the heat runs straight up from the Heating element & out the Top Right Vent.
It's not as big a problem with the MES 30 as it is with the MES 40, but it can still be a problem, causing the Right side of the smoker to be hotter than the Left side.
If you have that problem, let me know & I'll show you a Simple way to push the heat to the left & middle to even out the Heat.
Bear
Thanks Bear. I kind of thought that could possibly be the problem. So far I haven't noticed any major heating problems with mine, but I've only had it since the first of Nov. and am still dialing it in. Do you think it will become more prevalent as it gets colder out?
