I had the same problem when I first started using the AMNPS and found that my MES 40 is sealed well enough with the chip loader closed that there was not enough oxygen to keep the AMNPS burning. I just have to pull the chip loader out 1/2" to make the AMNPS burn to the end.
Also, with a...

Boneless Pork Loin Backribs - Umm, Umm, Good!
I'm loving this MES 40!
I've not pulled my chip tray out either. This is good stuff guys. I'm glad I asked as it kind of revived this oversized thread :)
BTW, once I pulled out the chip loader an inch or so, my AMNPS burned to the end today. Oxygen was my problem! I never dreamed this smoker was so tight around...
I have smoked ribs, a boston butt and today I'm just finishing up a brisket. In between smokes I've been trying the different pellets flavors I got from amazin like hickory, mesquite and apple just to practice using the AMNPS5x8. I am not having any trouble getting the pellets in the AMNPS5x8...
It's confirmed, the Bluetooth controller and/or Android app is at fault. The problem only happens when I am in a spotty area of the house or my property and the bluetooth connection drops/reconnects frequently. Masterbuilt is sending me a new RF controller and remote when they are back in...

Todd's site says up to 11 hours but I assume different woods burn at different rates. I did 1 row of hickory plus a little spillover into the next row and it burned about 2-1/2 hours so that is closer to Bear's times. I'll do a full tray tomorrow and she what happens. It burned OK and smoked...
Thanks Kurt.
I think what is happening is I've got a Maverick 773 where it's probes as well as the meat probe of the MES 40, are pretty much instant read thermometers since there is almost no mass to them. The chamber sensor is mounted on the back wall which is basically a huge heat sink and...
