    Welp, I saw @oscolivar1 's post just before walking in to Costco.

    Add to it the fact that I'm kind of hungry and...

    I’ve got a question for the pro smokers of this thread.

    I have a 30” Masterbuilt electric smoker that I’ve been using for around the past 5 years. I’ve never had any issues with it whatsoever.

    I’ve always been a fairly casual smoker, using it maybe once or twice in a few month span. Lately, I have been getting more in to it and to go along with that I’ve been doing more reading and research. One thing I have noticed is that my cook times always seem to take longer than what I see from people using other types of smokers. Is this the norm for electric smokers?

    For example, I’ve got a 4lb chuck roast on right now that’s been going since noon at 225 and it’s just now ~160 degrees internal. The research I did before doing the roast made it seem like I’d be done in 5-7 hours at the most, but most of the examples I researched were done with charcoal or wood.

    This.. I cooked on a MES 30 for years, and still do for certain things. The temp showing is just a suggestion of the chambers true temp. Are you using a probe type thermometer? If you will/can invest in a AMAZN smoke generator (dust or tube) you really up your game on the MES. IMO always cook to temp, never time regardless of smoker type.

    No way of knowing for sure. I’ve never had a reason to suspect it may be off, but recently I’m starting to suspect that might be an issue.

    I never trust my in pit temp gauges. Always have a grate probe in the pit that I know is true.

    Oh, I always cook to temp. I just meant the times referenced to get to temp always seem to be shorter on other cookers. I am using the built in probe, which I have verified in the past but not in the last couple years.
