Not sure Tim. I purchased this in June 2013. After reading numerous comments from owners of this unit, I use a 10" cast iron skillet for the wood chips. It works great and is easy to add more wood when necessary. I found that I only needed to add wood once for a 5 hour smoking session when smoking over 30 lbs of ribs....which turned out to die for!

Not sure about the date of mfr on my unit. I bought it in late April/early May this year -- 2013. Mine is NOT the GS40, it's a newer updated model very similar to the GS40, but has different handles, etc. Can't vouch for any interior differences. Model number on the plate shows #20051111, but it doesn't show a date on it. Masterbuilt did not have it on their website when I got mine. I ordered thru Cabela's because they had it on sale with a cover, sausage racks and a DVD. In-store locally did not have it on the floor. This doesn't even come close to answering your question, but I'll provide as much info as I know to you, if you need more.

Hello Mary. The only place I can find the date is on the packet. Mine is marked clearly. I do perfer on packet as box can be reused.

Good question. When I checked the box, which I store in the garage, I was surprised to see the date 12/24/14 stamped on it! It did not say "best by:" but I assume that's what the date means. I ordered it mid-October. I thought they would last longer.

You need to ask where you are buying it from. I am sure the boxes have different dates depending when they were made.

That is not the original box. I had purchased a new Hard drive similar to this one, and figured I could send back the old one in that box since it still had all of the wrapping. Sorry for the confusion. But, I no longer have the original box to confirm the date of manufacture.

I checked the dimensions again, and also the model number, all of which match my posting of January 23, 2014. If they updated the model, I would assume it would have a new model number. The product information either pertains to the box dimensions (which is not helpful at all), or they are just plain erroneous. I hope this helps.

I'm sorry I can't help with that. I have used them and don't have the box. I do remember the date was at least a year out. Not sure if that helps?

the date on mine is 2/9/2011. Now keep in mind I ordered it over a year ago. But it does seem old now that I think about it.

My current box appears to have an Exp date of about 6 months out. Not sure if they are all about 6 months, or if this is an older or newer box.
