I'm also on the bandwagon for buying an Auber PID. This one with the multipurpose sensor is the least expensive option that will definitely handle the electrical power pull of an MES40: https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14_28&products_id=110 Do the simple rewire...

Wanted to post back after turkey day with results. Turkey cooked about twice as fast as previously due to no basting which means no opening the smoker door. I think the results were very good. Skin still wasn't edible but I blame that on having to open the smoker door to manage the pellet...

After some thinking, I'm still within 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...

Mine is a Landman as well. That I converted to a PID control. And the mailbox mod. Great little smoker now.

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.

Welcome! I do not have this smoker so take any advice for what you paid for it. You probably want the the chips to start at one end and move 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...

A question: When you say cold smoker are you referring to the Masterbuilt attachment? If you're looking for a little more room find yourself a used 40" 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...

Like others have said. MES with mailbox mod is great!

i do alot of cold smoking. Ice in pan will help alot. use a mailbox mod 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...

Better air flow with the mailbox mod which equals cleaner smoke

Where ever your Ambient probe is, it changes the variables on the PID from the other area you've tried. So the higher in a Mes 40 on the second rack from the top (my go to rack), clipped near the food on that rack, I need the fastest response when running 265+ which is my butts, briskets and...

...handle any pellet flare ups easily without disturbing the cooking. You never have to worry about drips or cover the the AMNPS when it's in a mailbox mod vs when it's inside the MES. Finally, you can cold smoke better and generate less heat in the smoker from the pellets when in a mailbox mod. :D

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 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

Masterbuilt 40 , mailbox mod, Auber PID controller , you would have a top of the line electric smoker. Approx $600

Thanks. I searched for mailbox mod, didn't find a post on how to do it. Do you have a link? :-)

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...

...believe pellets are more cost effective than chips and pellets/dust (or dust made from pellets) are used with the AMNPS tray or tube and mailbox mod. Mailbox mod and AMNPS tray or tube are way less likely to malfunction or break down leaving you without smoke generation. No mechanical...

Welcome to SMF from Indiana. If you go the MES route, do a search here for the mailbox mod. Definitely the way to go.
