No Jim, My old MES I sold years ago to help pay for my Camp Chef Pellet Smoker since I have also sold due to space constraints. This one is a new one that I am going to set up with the PID Controller and a Smoke Generator so I don't have to fool around with a Mailbox mod. John

...to cut it in half and burn 6" vertically or with the U bolt on one end for burgers, pork steaks and chxn etc for BBQ shorter medium hot smokes and use the AMNPS for the Mes 30 and 40 Mailbox mod. I do like the AMNTS for faster breathing vessels but I have mostly half filled my AMNTS so two 6"

Just picked it up on Wednesday, hopefully we can try and cleaned up next weekend and fire it up. As of right now looks like they just used wood and charcoal and closed the lid and let cook away. Grandparents had old like bbq pit so we are thinking about building pit back up and run pipe from...

This is exactly what I did on my first cook the other day as I didn't want to go full mailbox mod. That's what led to my initial question. Only thing I could think of was what was discussed above. Cleaner smoke, easier to handle pellets without opening cooker, etc.

I don't like the flavor of the smoke from the Bradley smoker. Neither does the rest of my family. We really like the flavor of the smoke from my Traeger. I've been pouring over posts about how to get a better tasting smoke. I've read posts about thin blue smoke as the only smoke you want. Then...

What are your variables set to? Does your light on the auber flash or stay on constantly? The out of the box setting I believe P=7, I=600 and D=150 was no good for my Mes 40 as well as autotune no good. The auber would flash 20 degrees below set temp and will never get to set temp with 3 ribs...

...pulled some stuff out that I don't think are needed. I also have a Masterbuilt smoke box attachment (MB20100112) that I opted for instead of the mailbox mod. I think I can plug that into the Auber with an attachment plug instead of another direct power source? I have a lot of experimenting to...

First hello and welcome! This my friend is easily remedied by the use of an Amazen tray(maze) or tube.These two items when used can produce up to 10+ hours of uninterrupted smoke.Both burn pellets and/or pellet dust.You can put either one in the smoker or use the "mailbox" mod.

So i've personally never done the mailbox setup but it often has to do with two things: 1. The movement of the smoke within the chamber. 2. The maze and tube both generate heat - which people are trying to avoid. What can happen in the MES is "stale smoke" meaning no air movement - this ends...

Have you verified your actual temps inside when you are set at 200° ? When I did use chips ( before smoke tube, and mailbox mod) I would have to have it up to about 210° before it would get smoke out of the chips. That was just to hot for doing sausage or jerky. Just a smoke tube could be a...

Looks fantastic, and congrats on the ride! This makes me want to do my mailbox mod. I think I shall start that soon, thanks for the inspiration.

I cooked another batch of sticks today-removed the cold smoke attachment and just used the factory chip feeder. Sticks turned out great with good flavor-probably need to ditch the cold smoker and do mailbox mod instead. There was a few instances where the whole smoker was completely full of...

Hi there and welcome! Wow that looks like a giant beast of a contraption. How does it currently work to cook? I ask because you might have ways to just add wood splits/chunks, etc. without much modification. Also I'd be curious if adding something like a Mailbox Mod with something like the...

...zero degrees to just buy a new smoker as I smoke every week. Now that a little history is out of the way, I don't want to perform the mailbox mod... I was looking to just buy the masterbuilt smoke generator but apparently they don't ship here and are back order forever. I have seasoned my...

Yep, need at least 200° to get chips to smoke. Like stated, A tube will do you wonders at lower temps. Been there, went to mailbox mod ( search forum ).

I order my sausage making stuff from sausagemaker.com... My question is.. they only 19mm casing they have is a clear/smoked casing.. I wanted to do snack sticks but always used mahogany.. The clear casings when its smoked should have a nice beautiful color on the snack sticks? I'm looking for...

I hope that's where the mailbox mod will help out. Right now I have the puck burner attached to my Bradley and a pellet tray in the bottom where the water bowl would go. There's enough airflow for burning pucks, but that tray put out a fair amount more smoke tonight. I guess I need to find a...

Thanks for the replies all. For a bit more clarity, I've had the Bradley for about 10 years now. I used it for a long time, then my parents got a Traeger with the purchase of a car a few years back. They're seniors and had no interest in using it so they gave it to me. Granted, both smokers...

Great answers. Makes total sense. Looks like I need to figure out a way to cold smoke. I was really hoping it would be as easy as putting one of the pellet tubes in the bottom and letting it go. So the reason for the mailbox mod is purely to get cleaner smoke? Hate that I have to do all of these...

I’d give it a test run on a smaller batch personally-maybe I had bad pellets or odd weather or something. Seems like mailbox mod is best way to cold smoke.
