With my Webber and decent charcoal I can maintain the same temp for about 13-14 hours without doing anything other than vent movement after a couple of hours.

I get a much better smoke ring than I ever got with an electric smoker also plus you CANNOT use chunks of hardwood with an electric smoker which is a very big dealbreaker imo.

The new 800W heating element in the MES 40" is unbelieveable. I was smoking stuff when it was 20 degrees outside and it held it's temerature. The electric smoker is too easy to go any other way.

In the 40" I smoked 40 lbs of sausage the other day without doing anything but adding wood. I have in one time smoked a turkey, and 3 geese and had room to spare. It does and excellent job, and I have used charcoal, green eggs, home made smokers and all. I wouldn't trade my current MES for any of the others.
