...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 mailboxmod 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...
...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 mailboxmod 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...
...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 mailboxmod 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...
...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"
...MES and put it on a waist high table to avoid bending over.
If you're using the MB cold smoker attachment mount it,otherwise I'd do the mailboxmod 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...
i do alot of cold smoking. Ice in pan will help alot. use a mailboxmod or cold smoke attachment. personally recomend never to have in sun ever, even cold days. You probably already knew allthis just a reminder
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...
...settings that come out of full power flashing the open/closed circuit many degrees below set temp. With Mes 40 size, open top vent, mailboxmod, measuring ambient temp next to your food or between racks with multi rack smokes I keep going back to Auber's P mode in their manual instructions...
Airflow for an AMNPS inside an MES can be iffy but in an mailboxmod 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...
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...
If i already own a cold smoke attachment why should I do the mailboxmod 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
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...
Cleaner to Perfect smoke with mailboxmod and AMNPS tray or tube.
Longer unattended smoke production with mailboxmod and AMNPS tray or tube (1-12 hours of smoke depending item and how many pellets you want so you can adjust this easily).
No need for electricity for mailboxmod and AMNPS tray or...
