    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    Yes, indeed! One of the best and useful threads around. Thumbs Up Mine's been in the smoker for about 15 hours now and still have a few more to go. Low and slow, baby... :grilling_smilie: Using Pitmaster's Choice this time.

    Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)

    Tried this first time yesterday and sure turned out great. Took a bit longer than I expected, and I hit a bit of time crunch, so I took it out at 200 and put it in cooler. It sat there for almost two hours while making a trip to the DFW airport and back to pick up my daughter and her fiancee...

    My MES 30 cart/mailbox mod build

    Good point. Yeah, the tube is a bit on the long side and could be shortened quite a bit. I could even turn the elbows towards each others to make it even shorter. Need to look into that. It's still work in progress, anyway...

    Masterbuilt 30 inch digital smoker

    That's on my list, too. Well..., actually tried to do it a couple of days ago, but had issues with keeping smoke going in my AMNPS (whole nother story...), so I had to ditch it. Will make some adjustments to my process and try again shortly. Sorry to hear that. Around here Kroger or Natural...

    My MES 30 cart/mailbox mod build

    Well... After reading a bit more, I saw a post from bear where he said you should dry the pellets before using. Maybe that will be the solution since they actually also went out when I tried having the AMNPS inside the smoker. I could possibly shorten the pipe a little bit,mof necessary...

    Smokng ham produced excellent results and no flare ups as the water pan was able to collect all the droppings. Yummy stuff that ham!!! Having issues now with cold smoking, though... My pellets burn only about 1-2 hours and then die. No matter what I do I can't seem to get enough airflow throgh...

    Double Smoked Hams---Times 4 (Step by Step)

    Thanks for the instructions, Bear! Other than using my own rub and not doing any glazing (never liked glazes) I mostly followed your instructions while doing my ham today and even the temp readings were almost spot on for the times/temps you listed and the ham turned out to be frigging awesome...

    MES 30 2.5 Digital AMNPS Placement

    I'm new to using AMNPS as I used it the first time today in my MES 30, but to me it looks like the pellets didn't start burning properly to keep smoldering. Mine worked great today when I made my ham.

    Good point. However, the drip pan covers most of it, but I'll see what I can come up with. Just to make sure, I guess.

    Well... Had to pull the chip tray out, because otherwise the elbow wouldn't have gone all the way in. Now it's all connected and ready to go. Paint and the shelf to the left side will come later.
