40" Electric Smoker and Grill Heating Element Replacement Part

This is a great kit at a great price, and I say kit, because it includes all of the replacement parts needed to repair your smoker, not just the element. I bought this for my Masterbuilt 30”. Yes, it’s 1200 rather than the original 800 watts, but I long ago replaced the truly lousy controller in my 2016 smoker with an external pid. In my case, this is a major upgrade, so I’m glad my original element burned out. Installation is simple, and this thing works great!

Perfect fit, works great

It works, Easy to install it comes with everything you need. I would tell you all buy this .

I bought this to replace the worn out heating element on my 40" Masterbuilt Digital Smoker, MES140. Fast shipping and well packed! The old heating element had small bolts welded to it which fed through the smokers back side, then small nuts tightened it to the smoker. This new element has threaded holes and you have to line it up inside the smoker and put the included small bolts thru the back of the smoker and hit those threaded holes. Had to have my wife come out and hold the element in place so I could put the bolts through. The bolts were a little large for the smokers' holes and had to drill the holes out another 1/32". The original ground wire connector's hole was too small for those new bolts, so had to go out and buy a $5 pack of various connectors and then splice the new ground wire. Appx 4 hour install, but that's better than buying a new smoker. The element works very well. Just plan on a little elbow grease while installing.

My smoker "Masterbuild" was reborn. The heating element is easy to install. A new batch of sausages is ready. I recommend it for use.

Does the trick

The replacement element was a perfect fit solution. My Masterbuilt smoker was tripping the breaker after a 10-20 seconds into the heating setting. I took the (2) wires off of the element and tried it again and the breaker didn’t trip. Therefore the only piece not in the circuit was the element. Replacement was easy and unit once again is working flawlessly.

Smoker kept popping a GFCI outlet. Tried the cords, outlets and everything to make sure nothing electrical was wrong and still popping. Quick google search said the heating element so ordered it. Came in nicely wrapped in bubble wrap ( twice ), and in huge zip lock baggies. Took about 15'ish minutes to put it in. 3 bolts on the heating element, and about 5 more in total. Not hard and working beautifully so far. Pork shoulder on the smoker now, and about 9 hours in - so 5 stars from me! Would buy again if needed.
