That was my first thought as well...

You're only suppose to light one end! Not both ends and the middle at once... ;)

Geez that is a lot of smoke for that setup. I run a mailbox mod with AMNPS as well and I can barely see the smoke through the door as it flows out nice and thin. (I only light one end)

Hey I like a lot of smoke! And yeah the vent was all the way open.

cmayna · Mar 17, 2015

How many rows of the AMNPS were lit?

murdermode · Mar 17, 2015

Both ends.

So what's in there with the smoke?

I would like to see how the meat taste? That much smoke could make the meat tart.

Tart and bitter I would think ............ but if that's what you like by all means, go for it!

Don't be discouraged, there are many products that can be smoked with what you are showing. We don't even know what is in the smoker, if anything. Could it be you are running a test on your setup?

Keep in mind, the more white and the heavier the smoke, the less time in the smoke a product requires and the less forgiving it is. You wouldn't want to smoke anything for a long period using that smoke, but for example, a plate of cold shrimp could benefit from it.

Maybe the following will help explain. Smoke Color Chart, Smoked Bread,Crackers and Snacks

You are correct there is actually nothing in the smoker in that picture. Although that is how much smoke there is when I am smoking something so really that's a moot point. As for the meat I smoke I have never had a problem with taste at all. It all tastes fantastic.

Fantastic, I'm sure the mod helps in those regards.

I see nothing wrong with the smoke buildup inside your MES. My MES 30 doesn't have a window but when I need to open the door a bunch of smoke comes out and I think it's perfectly normal. I use the AMNPS and keep the top vent wide open. I get TBS out of the top vent. My food is never oversmoked so I know my MES is working properly.

Exactly. My food tastes great so I'm going to keep doing what I do. I'm getting personal messages now telling me I'm over smoking my food and I'm doing this and that wrong and honestly it's getting really annoying. I understand some of you people have been smoking since before I was born and I thank you for all the help. With that being said, if I didn't ask for your help please don't offer it. I know to an extent what I'm doing and what I want my food to taste like, and the way I do it tastes great to me and my family and friends. I've never had a complaint about my food. Please don't just send people messages telling them what they are doing wrong and what they should be doing, it's rude. Nowhere in this post did I ask for anyone's comment of if it was too much smoke. I just thought the picture looked cool.

As long as you enjoy what you cook that is all that matters. There will always be someone that does something a different way and swears that their way is the only way (which I am guilty of doing on plenty of occasions).

The #1 indication of oversmoking is where the smoke overpowers the food and leaves a harsh taste. I know this because that's how my smoked food tasted the first year I used my MES 30.

I totally wrecked/ruined/destroyed a butt. Once. It was so bad the dog wanted no part of it. My smoker uses chunks and I underestimated the weight of a chunk. While today I stick with a single chunk in the 2 to 4 ounce range (I cut and weigh) I added chunks every 4 hours or so to keep the smoke going. That was 12 ounces of wood.. The meat was gummed up with what can only be described as creosote. So go light on the smoke.

Look at all that smoke!
