    First time wings

    Hey all! I've been a lurker here for a while reading and learning. I recently made a switch from a MES40 to WSM 18.5 and man what a difference in flavor!! I've cooked a couple briskets and a few butts but haven't ventured into the poultry side much. I ate some smoked chicken a few weeks ago...

    Getting ready to buy the WSM and have a few questions.

    I want to thank everyone for the replies. I ended up getting the 18.5 mainly because I could not find the 22.5 locally and didn't want to wait for one to be shipped. Even though it says you don't have to, I did a test burn in it to figure out how to regulate Temps before attempting to cook...

    Getting ready to buy the WSM and have a few questions.

    Thanks for the quick reply b-one. On the packer, what if I split the point from the flat put each on a tray, I've not cooked a lot of brisket but I don't see why that would make it taste any different then leaving it whole.

    Getting ready to buy the WSM and have a few questions.

    As the title says, im in the market for a new smoker. I currently have a MES 40 and am not happy with it. It does make great Q but it's a PITA! Thought getting the AMAZN pellet tray would help but I can't seem to keep the pellets lit and the Q tastes like I baked it.. no smoke. Sooo.. all...

    MES-40 and AMNPS

    Thanks for the help! I think it was something as simple as rotating the cup down. The only other thing I changed this time over last was I built a foil tent to put over it vs having an aluminum pan on the rack above it. I just checked it and there is a blueish smoke haze inside the smoker...

    MES-40 and AMNPS

    Ok, when you guys are saying rotate the chip loader, do you mean have the "cup" facing up or down? Other than that, I am doing all the same things you guys are doing. I did an hour test run with it tonight and it produced a decent amount of smoke. Being new to smoking, I really don't know...

    MES-40 and AMNPS

    Just wondering if anyone has a video of the AMNPS working in a MES-40 Gen 2. I've tried mine a couple of times now and it doesn't necessarily go out but doesn't seem to be putting out much smoke either. Also, the last pork butt I smoked just didn't have that much of a smoke flavor.

    Another AMNPS-MES Question

    Bear, I think your spot on, on what to do.  I do the exact same thing as you with the exception of, I do not put a foil pan under the square hole.  I just wrap the drip pan in the bottom of the smoker with tin foil.  Today, I'm smoking some babybacks and its the first time im putting the 8x8...

    Another AMNPS-MES Question

    I have a gen 2 MES-40. I also have a maverick remote thermometer. My AMNPS ran flawlessly today. It produced smoke for approximately 11 hours without stopping. I placed it over the hole for the water pan as Todd said to do and put a foil tent over it to stop any drippings from getting in...

    Another AMNPS-MES Question

    I guess so!! Brisket has been in for just over 4 hours and there is still TBS coming out of the exhaust! I couldn't be more happy with the AMNPS! My MES-40 on the other hand is a little irritating with its temps being so far off.

    Another AMNPS-MES Question

    Sorry I couldn't call yesterday, I had to go out of town for a funeral and wasn't really too worried about the smoker.  I did fill a couple rows up with pellets and tested it out friday night in the smoker with it running (no meat).  I followed the instructions pretty much.  I made sure to not...

    Another AMNPS-MES Question

    Todd, I planned to do that...I have also been reading a lot of posts on what to do and where to put it.  I have seen too many posts and videos on Youtube to doubt the product.  I am just happy it arrived so quickly so I will be able to use it this weekend.  The stupid chip tray that came with...
