    AMNPS & tent

    Does anyone have a picture that shows how to make the foil tent over the AMNPS? This past weekend I made some BB ribs in my MES 30 using the AMNPS and it just didn't stay smoking. I had the chip drawer open, the side chip adder open and the top vent all the way open. I did have water in the...

    Starting the AMNPS

    Hi all! I ordered the AMNPS and should be receiving it soon.  My question is how do I start it?  I'm thinking a regular lighter will not do the trick. Thanks, Linda

    Another problem with the maverick thermometer

    I'm in the process of smoking a turkey.  I set my MES on 295 (the highest it can go)  At this time the smokers says the temp is 258 and the thermometer says the temp is 271.  HUGH difference!  It seems to have the bird temp correct as I have another digital probe inserted into the bird and they...

    My first butt Qview

    I set the masterbuilt 30 smoker at 225.  Started at 2:00AM.  After 8 hours it still said the meat was at 154 and had been for three hours.  Took a well deserved nap for three hours and when I got up it still showed 154.  I foiled it and put it in the oven till it reached 205.  Below are pictures...
