...turns off, but many times it doesn't give the fresh chips time to ignite. So it sits with no smoke until I check it. (Yes I know I can use my AMNPS, but what's the sense of having a chip tray?). The stupid display is almost unreadable. The 7 segment display is down to about 4 segments each...

Beautiful color on that bird, thanks for your answer! Really appreciate the insight thank you! I've actually not tried Maple either! Gonna have to go get some this weekend!

But are you still considering using the Masterbuilt cold smoker but with a longer exhaust vent tube? Per tallbm's replies, so much easier and most importantly cooler using a mailbox setup with a AMNPS tray.

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...

...size of the smoking vessel and what you use, pellets vs. dust is a factor. Which is a double wide commercial fridge with apple pellets in amnps for usually 4 hours. Better view of size... Now that amnps in a kettle would be too much I would think. Then left uncovered in fridge...

Makes perfect sense. Thanks! I'm sure I'm not done asking questions :)

Here’s a couple shot of my MES40 which is PID controlled and uses a mailbox setup which has a AMNPS cage with pellets.

Switch to an East Oak. Much bigger chip tray and, in my opinion, better temperature control. The smoke last for a few hours before you have to add more chips. I've done multiple briskets (8-10 hour smoke) and they've all come out great. The only downside is they don't make a 40" model...

No. I'm jumping on the mailbox bandwagon. :)

...house or an electric smoker you can generate heat without adding wood for smoke. In my case I run a rewired MES40 with a PID, Mailbox Mod + AMNPS tray. So in my setup I will be adding smoke via pellets in my AMNPS tray in my mailbox mod. Someone with a stock MES would add wood chips. Q...

Yes, get another independent temp gauge to confirm the temp. Sounds like too much smoke being created by the smoke generator. Might look into using a mailbox with a AMNPS instead of using the generator and a tube. People have a tendency to overfill the tube creating a lot of white smoke.

...for another 1/2 hour. Dinner served at 7:30pm - hope you enjoy the picks, they were delicious! Was happy with the bark achieved here AMNPS helped out on the smoke ring Cubed and ready for saucing Ready to serve I'll have to admit I'd already eaten quite a bit along the way by...

I like it!

...shrinks up enough early on to allow smoke all in and under and such while keeping the top basted in tallow. I do 100% Mesquite pellets in the AMNPS for 12 hours so I'm never lacking in amazing flavor and due to it being AMNPS there is never too much smoke on this big hunk of meat :D This...

Seems like a lot to do when you could've simply attached a mailbox or similar metal box directly to your MES and used a tray or tube. You'd use no more space than the cold smoker attachment,no moving parts or electricity involved and would get 10+ hours of smoke.

Do you have cure in the mix? If you do then get an amnps so you can burn sawdust or pellets and cold smoke them. Smoking at 180 you're risking fat out. Ryan

...I do run an electric smoker so I can speak to the act of separating heat generation and smoke generation because that is what I do with my AMNPS tray. I believe no matter what, if you are doing smoke generation with quality pellets like Lumberjack in your tube you are going to always win on...

Yes the mailbox mod is a smoke generator but with no heat source. I typically use the AMNPS tray that is slightly elevated off the floor of the mailbox. The mailbox floor has maybe 9-12 1/4" holes in the bottom. The door of the mailbox has 4 holes. Yes a 4" hole in the back which the duct...

You start the pellets or chips manually with a torch, correct?

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
