    AMNPS burning too quickly?

    Lol I bought the chips before I had the AMNPS. I do not use them together. The partially burned chips were left from last time. Gasket seems tight and I have not drilled or modified anything on this smoker.

    AMNPS burning too quickly?

    No, I left a space at the top to prevent jumping rows.

    AMNPS burning too quickly?

    Second smoke with AMNPS in a Masterbuilt 130. I’m 3 hours in and 2 of 3 rows of pellets are nearly burned through (pellets that came with it when I ordered). The smoke was light for 2 hours but the last hour or so has gotten pretty heavy. Pellets are not on fire and temp has stayed at 250*. I...

    Where to put AMNPS?

    I have a 130 MES and got an AMNPS. I thought it would go on the bottom tray but doesn’t fit?

    First smoke in new 130 MES

    The chicken I pulled at 165* and it was cooked perfectly. Half the ribs I foiled and juiced after 3 hours, the other half I didn't foil. At 5 hours they all looked done, unfortunately they were done probably 45 minutes earlier, as they fell off the bone and were a little dry.

    First smoke in new 130 MES

    Thanks, yeah I meant to foil and just forgot. Remembered the first time I checked and pan was full of juices. I have 3 thermometers, believe it or not when I seasoned it, the temp reading of the smokers was within 2* of my Taylor and Mavericks. I don't trust the MB therm lol. Ordered one...

    Just seasoned my new MES 130

    Been a while since I had a smoker, picked up a MES 130 and seasoned it today. I've read a lot of posts here, I was surprised how much smoke it produced using chips, as well as the temperature being accurate. The temp of the probe matched the temp of the smoker which matched 2 separate...

    Masterbuilt Pro MES 130B vs non pro?

    Thanks for the replies. Looking online and at the HD website, they use the same pics for both models lol.

    Masterbuilt Pro MES 130B vs non pro?

    HD has non pro MES 130B ship to home for $168 or the pro version in store for $249. I'm looking for differences but haven't come up with much. Thoughts?

    Pulled pork with time constraints-best way?

    Lo and behold, just as the meat was reaching 203*, we got a call. Semi jacknifed, ruptured saddle tank and fuel leaking. Shut down I-95 for 2 hours and offloaded the fuel. I turned off the oven before we left and fortunately, had someone available to pull them out about 40 mins later. They...

    Pulled pork with time constraints-best way?

    I think from now on I'll have them cut in half. They've been in for 6 hours and are at 165*. I'll take them off, foil and finish in the oven. Is there a super secret temperature I should set the over to?

    Pulled pork with time constraints-best way?

    Thanks for the replies. I can't do the pork at home as I don't have an entire day to commit to this (kids, ball games etc). When we get toned out, there is sometimes a unit left in the station depending on the type of call. My smoker is a gas GOSM, so the temp stays pretty constant. If...

    Pulled pork with time constraints-best way?

    I work as a firefighter and bring in my smoker on weekends. I can usually get the butt in by 8:30 and we try to eat by 6. In my experience, this is not long enough to get a 5-6# butt up to 205* when the smoker is at 220*, so in the past I've ended up pulling and foiling it at 3 p.m, finishing...
