Thanks y'all

I started them at 140 then bumped it to 180 after 1 1/2 hours. I pulled the smoke at 2 hours and IT reached 160 just shy of 3 hours. The smoke flavor turned out to be a little heavy so next time I will pull it 30 minutes earlier.

I just thought this was cute. I hope everyone has a wonderful smoke filled weekend! - PG

JJ thank you so  much for that, tis greatly appreciated! I really only intended to leave it for 1 hour but other things got in the way. But it's good to know even 1 hour isn't necessary. I ruined a batch of sausage a while back due to it sweating because I put it in cold, even though it was very...

...in a little so it was out only about an inch. The loader was fully in. When I went out a little while ago to pull the AMNPS and foil the butt this is what I found. Anyone know what would cause the pellets to burn too fast and incompletely like this? Smoker temp was set to 260* the last few hours.

Fantastic! I will bring the Yeti and load up 

Yeah you are probably right. The other times it has gone out in under 30 minutes so I am giving it another 30 minutes. If it goes out this time I will switch back to the dust. I will go ahead and nuke some just in case I need it. 

Thanks Al. I replaced the dust with pellets. Given this is a hot smoke I'm not sure why I started with dust anyway but... now I can't keep the pellets lit. I've had to restart them 3 times. I nuked them 3 times. 45 seconds twice then 25 seconds. So I know they are dry. I am positive they were...

Yikes! I put my butt (10lbs) in the smoker this morning at 5am at 130* to dry and warm up. At 7am I added the AMNPS loaded with dust and bumped the temp to 225*. I checked it at 7:20 and 7:50 and had a nice TBS both times. Then I got busy and didn't check for 2 hours. When I go out there at 9:50...

I finally found a place that has some bellies but I've never bought any so I don't know what a good price is. I called them this morning and they gave me a price of $2.39 I didn't ask if they were trimmed or not. Considering the bacon I buy is usually around $6 this seems like a great deal, but...

Oh I have the AMNPS and I am using it right now. But even with the smoker off (I only turn it on to preheat and get things moving) I still have to put some ice in to keep the temps down. 

...in the smoker? I'm guessing it might depend on ambient temps? I don't have any cold smoking mods for my MES yet so I struggle to keep my smoker <100*, would I still be able to do the on/off method or would it be too hot? I don't know why I am so curious because I have not been able to find...
