I just bought an AMPS and am looking for ways to use it in a mes 30 looking forward to using it Ive heard nothing but good things about it any info would be great Thanks Phil.
Phil, morning..... First, dry the pellets so they will stay lit... wood absorbs moisture and can make your life miserable.... I dry my pellets before every smoke so I don't have to fight them.... I fill the tray with what I will use and place in my MES smoker at 275 for 2 hours.... that also sterilizes the smoker in the event bacteria has multiplied in it.....
Light per the instructions.... place below/left/right the heating source EXCEPT in a gas fired smoke... flame consumes smoke.....
It is best to use a mailbox mod of sorts so the pellets emit smoke uniformly...
Folks will say it is not necessary to dry the pellets... depends on your weather...
