Bluetooth sucks! Useless!

Bluetooth goes into safe mode the first time you open the door. And cannot be taken out of safe mode without remove Bluetooth device from your phone. Plus, the unit does not give instructions as to how often you must add new wood chips. Also, LED characters on screen are to light to be seen.

Buy it!

I took back my cantankerous Tr**ger Pro and went with the MES 340G. No regrets! Hold temp EXTREMELY well. My only complaint is the chip feeder is small, and the tray doesn't hold many chips. I purchased a 12” pellet smoker tube to cut out all the running back and forth to add chips for my low and slow smokes, and it seems to be working out great.

Best Gift Ever

I gave my hubby a digital electric smoker as a surprise Christmas gift last year. He was more excited than a kid on Christmas morning! He has turned out some incredible meals this year from his smoker. He has tried about every meat imaginable as well as smoked Mac and cheese and queso with delicious success!!! It has truly made having to eat at home way more fun. I don't think I will be able to top last year's Christmas surprise.

Many great features!

I recceived this smoker as a gift and an addition to my back deck entertainment area. The bluetooth makes it super easy to set and monitor the smoking process from other areas of the premises. The viewing window makes sure all the heat and smoke stay right where they are designed to be.

Cook like a pro

I received as an anniversary gift. This is my first electric smoker to own. I like that I can set it and forget it and the results are perfect. The Bluetooth is great but I do wish the range on the Bluetooth was better than just 10ft. After I am 10feet away is looses connection. Other than this issue, I feel it is a great product.

Great features but electronics disappoint.

I bought this unit a few months ago. It was a floor model from Field and Stream. Knowing that, I was prepared for it to be damaged, but it fired up just fine in the store and I brought it home. Everything worked great except the Bluetooth and the app, which are clunky and frankly unnecessary to the function of the unit. Who is going to keep their phone in Bluetooth range for an entire 14 hour smoke? Deleted the app after the first time. Indicator light for the smoke box on/off status just stopped working sometimes, but would come back on if you unplug the unit and reboot it (not just turn off at the switch). Those things were minor and just annoying. Next, the meat probe stopped working. Turns out that the stainless braid on the wire is the ground and if it detaches from either end of the wire, the probe stops working. That's pretty normal for a temp sensor design, but for something intended for food and to be washed, I would expect a better design. Finally, the unit stopped working and threw fault codes for the main temperature sensor/element. I have purchased almost every spare part still available for the unit so I can keep it up and running or rebuild it as necessary. Considering the discount I received at purchase for the floor model, I was able to get those parts and still be under the original retail price for the unit. That being said, if I had paid retail this review would be very different. Also, to do it over, I wouldn't have purchased the electronic controlled model now that I see how easily it fails and/or glitches. Also, the glass door is totally unnecessary (can't see through it when smoking anyway) and a heat loss liability. I've learned that in the case of smokers, simple and efficient is preferable.

The busy man's smoker

This smoker has worked very well for me smoking everything from salmon, whole chicken and turkey, and pork ribs and shoulders. The wood chips sideloader is super convenient and keeps your smoker at temp. The app with bluetooth connection let's you keep an eye on it while your doing other things. This smoker is ideal for me as I don't sit still for long and I can trust it to do its job

Worked great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought my 40" smoker 8 years ago. Used it almost weekly before it finally died. It worked great and put out great quality smoked food. It's my second favorite smoker I've owned of the 10+ I've had, 1st being the gravity 1050 I currently have.

Solid, reliable electric smoker

This is good as an addition to a collection of smokers like I have, or your only smoker if you have limited space. It is great for longer cooks since you don't have to add pellets or charcoal, just a few scoops of wood chips in the first hour or two. One drawback is the small size. You can't fit a full brisket or a full slab of ribs so keep that in mind.
