Which Masterbuilt smoker to buy?

[jerstilly]

I have read through many posts and I have come to the conclusion that I should still with the Gen 2.5. I have now been looking to purchase one, but there are some I still cant decipher what Gen they are. I have rd through “bears” posts as well. I have found this one at cabelas :

What gen is that one?

I have also looked on the masterbuilt site at the MES 340G :

Which one am I better off going with, for even temps, even smoke and Reliability.

Thanks for your help!

I do not use one.
This post from Bear is the best I know of, but they have made changes since then and combined models.

This is the one I just bought last fall. Only used it once so far but it seems much easier than my propane Smoke Vault was.

I wouldn't trust Cabelas, I bought the Gen 2.5 from Sams Club It's the real deal.
