    Wow you ain’t kidding. I just did a walk around. One angle it was looking pretty thick and white. Walked to the other side and different angle it looks much thinner. Thank you!

    Good smoke/bad smoke??

    Haha crazy works for me. Phew! I was worried because I’ve had some bad luck with bitter meat. But that was before the mailbox. Ok thanks guys, glad I’m not ruining this brisket....yet! While I’m on the site I’ll share pics of my first turkey breast. It came out so good and juicy. I was very...

    Good smoke/bad smoke??

    I’m only on my 3rd cook with the mailbox mod. First 2 no issues. Today I’m doing a small brisket for practice. Something strange happening though. Haven’t seen or heard of this. I’ve got the MES with 2 vents at the top. So far all of my experiments and 2 cooks have resulted in TBS coming out of...

    Why the mailbox mod?

    That’s correct. For the record the Bluetooth works pretty well. Especially since the digital display is not bright at all. Not sure if it’s just mine or not. But yeah they market it as a “broiler”.

I wasn’t questioning the mailbox mods that way. like I mentioned earlier it’s the only thing that’s gotten me any smoke that resembled anything thin and blue lol. My questions truly came from curiosity and a hunger to learn...

    Why the mailbox mod?

    Alright thank you. I’ll have to give that a try. I’ve got 2 vents at the top. Would you add the duct to each?

    Why the mailbox mod?

    That’s exactly what I was wondering about. I was thinking damn this may mean I won’t be able to cold smoke. So run the heat to get airflow moving. Get pellets going then reduce or kick heat off...and it’ll continue TBS?? That would be awesome.

    Why the mailbox mod?

    Interesting. Good info. Thank you! So I’m wondering if I wasn’t getting the right airflow inside the MES with the AMNPS. Resulting in the bitter taste. Takes me to where I’m at now. I was definitely impressed with how well the mailbox mod worked. I had what I’m hoping was TBS in my MES for the...

    Why the mailbox mod?

    I did the mailbox mod. I’ve tested it with no food in the smoker just to see how the initial setup worked. I’ll come back to that another time. What I really want to understand better is why exactly the mod exists. Based off my own research and reading on these threads. The mailbox mod is...
