    I need a new rig!

    ...to handle that temp no issue. I've had no issue at 325F but I keep it 4 hours or less to not over stress the foam insulation. Finally, a mailbox mod with the tray would allow you to burn pellets (cheap to buy) for up to 12 hours of perfect hassle free smoke. I smoke pork butts and whole...

    Smoked Turkey Advice

    ...still wasn't edible but I blame that on having to open the smoker door to manage the pellet tray a few times. I think I need to do the mailbox mod on this thing so I can leave the smoker door closed through the entire smoke, and honestly, even with that, I don't know that the heating element...

    MES 40" exhaust configuration

    ...the return window of the cold smoke attachment. I'm going to return it and get a side fire box for about the same price to utilize as a mailbox mod of sorts with a AMNTS/tube. It's made from cast iron so I don't have to worry about paint melting, can experiment with charcoal, etc... I think...

    Central TX BBQ Sausage

    Just a MES 30 electric smoker with a mailbox mod. I used hickory pellets processed through a burr grinder on an A-MAZE-N maze smoker.

    Pit Boss Wood Tray Troubles.

    ...slowly to the other. If all chips smoke at the same time you'll have too much smoke, then none. Electric smokers produce better burn at higher temps as you've noticed. If you want to cold smoke or med smoke for sausage etc. look into a tube or maze. You can also search her for "mailbox mod"

If you're using the MB cold smoker attachment mount it,otherwise I'd do the mailbox mod and use an Amazen tray or tube.These burn pellets and/or dust and can produce up to 12hrs of smoke in one load,even if you keep it on the ground...

    MES40 w/PID/Mailbox mod vs Pellet

    No . That setup mimics a smokehouse . No doubt it's a great setup , but it won't compare to a Pellet grill / smoker . I have a 30 that's set up with an Auber controller and a mailbox . I only use it for sausage , hams and the like . Not saying it won't do the job for other stuff , but for me it...

    Mailbox mod vs. Amaze-N in smoker

    Airflow for an AMNPS inside an MES can be iffy but in an mailbox mod you can tweak until you get it right. (Often this is the only option that will work with an MES30). Also you never have to open the smoker to jack around with the pellets should there be a pellet flare up. If you have mailbox...

    Mailbox Mod Question

    I recently purchased a Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smoker and wish to make a smoke generator using my AmazN tube or tray in a rural mailbox. I had one in the past but sold it along with my old MES years ago (dumb move to be sure). My dilemma is that I cannot find any steel mailboxes that are...

    cold smoke attachment versus mailbox mod...

    If i already own a cold smoke attachment why should I do the mailbox mod instead? Once the pellets start in cold smoke attachment, why cant you shut power off and let it go like Amnps.? I hate to add all that if I can do it with something I have...ty

    Adjust Air Flow or coal bed?

    A lot of us including myself started out on a similar smoker as you. Mine was a char griller offset but same as yours basically. It’s going to use a lot of fuel compared to the 1000lb 3/8in steel smoker I have now. On yours, keep that top vent open 100% all the time, start a bed in firebox with...
