i hade a propane smoker and wanted to upgrade. so i bought the electric model the same size. and the only complaint i would have is the Bluetooth distance needs to be longer [stronger]. i have also purchased the broiler and rotisserie for the smoker. haven't used them yet, will update you all later. HAPPY SMOKING

I love this smoker. It's so easy to operate, and my food always comes out perfect. However, I ordered a Rotisserie Kit for this smoker, and when I received the kit, the Part 2 - Spit Rod Bushing, and Part 3 - Mount Bushing were missing. I tried to put in a claim form for the missing parts, but the form wouldn't go thru because It wanted a serial # which the kit doesn't have. I posted a review in sept. after I received the kit and explained my problem. I got a reply Oct. 10 telling me to submit a claim, I finally got one to go thru, only to be told that the kit was out of warranty. It certainly wasn't when I first started trying to get the missing parts. The invoice # for my order is: c14162838749266.1 Purchased on September 8/9/20. Please send me the missing parts, or let me know where I can buy them. The Rotisserie Kit is useless without those 2 parts. Helene Rainwater

I have had this unit for about a month and it works well minus one quirk. The unit will be working great and for no reason it shuts down. Error on the digital screen and the message isn't in the trouble shooting part of the manual. Other than this small issue, I love the unit. Just received the rotisserie unit and accessory kit.

We bought this smoker as part of the end of the season sale and it has been so worth it. We used it to smoke our Thanksgiving turkey, ribs and a brisket so far and it has worked perfectly. We have compared the included thermometer with our instant read and it has been accurate. We have had no issues with the Bluetooth.

This is great! Set the temp, add the wood chips and walk away to enjoy your life! You can easily check on the unit with your phone and bot worry about having to constantly walk out to it. Had it for about 2 years now and works perfectly every time.

I am so happy that my wife and children bought the MES 40 as a Father's Day gift 3 years ago. After a little experimentation, I am now the guy that people call to get smoked meats for family gatherings and parties. This unit makes smoking anything easy. I not only smoke pork, beef, and poultry, but the MES 40 makes smoked eggs that are awesome in salads and the occasional smoked pizza for weeknight supper so easy. The only thing that could make this better is to have two of them sitting side by side.

I was able to install it properly once I found the manual. The manual was kept inside of the smoker and not just inside of the box. By the time I found that I had to flip it over to start, I made a small damage to the thing at the bottom of the machine by opening it up side up since the bottom of the machine has something which is raised from the bottom level. Otherwise it is a very good one.

I have 5 of these and 1 small one. After buying the first one and started cooking with friends coming over they talked about how great the food and flavor was that they started getting me to cook for there family gathering as well. Now I have bought more to keep up with the demand. I don't get the credit, it's the master built smoker that does the work.

I bought this smoker a month ago, upgrading from the 30" masterbuilt that gave me great service. I really like this new smoker except for the side wood chip cup. For some reason it's only half the size of the chip cup on the 30". I'm having to add chips more often. Other than that, great smoker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned this smoker for a little over four years and it has stopped working. Up until that it worked great and did a good job. I have probably smoked 20 briskets over the years in it with great success, usually no complaints from anyone who enjoyed them, Last year the control panel gone bad and is not in stock anywhere online and the model smoker is not produce anymore.
