Sunday Turkey And First Time to Try the AMNPS

[kryinggame]

After seeing this thread, I may try to find a turkey breast to smoke. I've done them in my WSM not never in my MES. HmmmmmmIs there nothing that the MES can't do?

It won't do the dishes, laundry, wash the car or paint the garage!

Hey Krying.  I love turkey breast but around here you can almost buy a whole turkey for the same price as a breast. 

BTW... The MES won't keep your beer cold.  ....Even though it looks like it will.

Well, I couldn't find any Turkey's or Breast.  Friday nights are reserved for Harley's, Whiskey and beer. 

I picked up a nice brisket to smoke instead.

Outside of Thanksgiving, finding Turkey's in Charlotte is really difficult.

Right now, I'm trying to decide if I wanna do my brisket in my MES or my WSM.  Decisions, decisions, decisions...

I think you're going to like it.  Also I'd like to to see that meatloaf recipe if you're wanting to PM it!  LOL 

Hey BD not a problem on the recipe, I will get it to ya either tonight or tomorrow and when you used the pellet tray did you remove your chip tray from the smoker. I thought I was going to as dont see no reason in keeping it in.

I don't like to step on Brian's thread, but I've been using my amazings exclusively for nearly 4 years, and my complete chip burner assembly is still in place. I figure my MES was designed with it in, and I believe it does things like blocking some of the direct heat from the element to the door.

Man that is a great looking turkey..I have a question, every time I inject my turkey before smoking I get mushy parts do you have any suggestions?

 

[bdskelly]

Hi Tim.

What do you inject with? Could be a couple of things. I'd sugest that you may be using too much of the type injection you prefer. Without much more detail you could also be over cooking the bird. Be sure to pull it at 165 breast temp. Brian

Bear ol' buddy. Youre never stepping on my threads. You're contributing!  

Mike first thanks for the meatloaf recipe on the PM. It's going on today!

About your question on pulling the tray when using the AMNPS.

I had been considering buying a AMNPS for some time now. ( Always looking for the easy way out)  I knew bear had been one of the folks that was envolved testing prototypes for A Maze N.  I contacted bear by PM and had a few discussions how they work and which style I needed.  He was very helpful.   On thing he told me was not to pull the tray or open the chip loader.  I didn't listen  to him in that aspect and opened my chip loader about an inch.  You will note at the beginning of this thread that I had and issue with my smoker in that it jumped the fence.

Long story short, yesterday I smoked some wings this time using Bears advice to a T.  I got a perfect burn on the AMNPS and the wings turned out unbelievably good.

The color achieved on poultry using the AMNPS is perfect.  Take a look the link is below.  B

Thanks for the info. I will leave my tray in as I didnt think about helping to keep direct heat from the element off of things.

What's the best remedy for the "rubbery" skin?

Pop it in the oven for a while?

If so, what temp, how long, etc.?
