    Thoughts on Masterbuilt's new Propane Smoker?

    I would also like to know if anyone has the "Thermotemp" model. I'm afraid to many comments may reference the standard models not the Thermotemp. I also wonder what is the lowest temp that can be maintained, under ideal conditions of course. LoL, how rare does that happen?! I'm usually in a...

    What's your occupation?

    The AMNPS doesn't physically replace the chip tray. On my MES40 there's two thin rods that run the width, at about the same level as the chip tray. I place the AMNPS on those rods on the left side, which would be the opposite side from the chip tray. I also pull out the chip tray an inch or so...

    What's your occupation?

    Been using a Masterbuilt electric smoker (MES) 40" for a couple of years now. I also added the AMNPS and use pellets instead of the chips. Works great for me. You can search on here for the AMNPS and Masterbuilt. I was just commenting to a friend yesterday about how impressed I was with...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    My Air Force (73-93) specialty code was 462x0 (aircraft armament). It's since been changed to 2w1x0 ... So, 462's are a thing of the past..... The old part, has been mentioned before - I looked in the mirror! Seems hard to believe I spent 20yrs in the AF and been retired nearly 20yrs. Looking...

    Howdy from Austin

    Welcome! I also have the MES 40 newer model w/window and remote. So far I'm not disappointed. The biggest improvement was the addition of the AMNPS! I just joined this forum the other day and posted some pics from my first two smokes using the AMNPS. Go take a look! The results were so...

    Hello from Texas

    Thanks for the welcome!  Like I said earlier, I've been checking y'all out for the last month or two.  Certainly is a TON of knowledge here! This Labor Day Weekend was smoke filled!  I'm rarely off for three days in a row, so I took full advantage! First off, on Saturday I did some ABT's and...
