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

This is one of the reasons that I got a MES. Lookin for a cart/table for it to sit on.

Alright everyone, I’ve done it. After months and months of tinkering, I’ve finally achieved a nice smoke ring on ribs in my MES with mailbox mod!!! And no, I didn’t use curing salts. I considering that cheating, don’t know why. First off, I used the wet-dry method, but honestly I didn’t know...

Here's some examples of it on an MES the 1st two pics are actually my mailbox mod and you can see my AMNPS tray with pellets getting ready to be put in the mailbox mod in pic #2: Others: I like the ammo can style that is attached directly. Again these are mailbox mod ideas for MES and...

...router controller to plug it into. I use a 6" PVC coupling with a $14 sealed 4-D battery upside down camping tent fan as a draft on low. I use the mailbox mod with the cold smoking fan. You say dry it in the garage for hours or days. Your taking about in the fridge in the garage for days?

Glad you got it under control. I had a bad fire in my MES40 once. I put the pellet tube on the heat deflector which started the pellets on fire and starting the fat in the pan on fire. I pulled the pan out and grease on fire went every where. Man was that scary! Got me to do the mailbox mod.

I average 10 hours out of my original 12 " . They have a solid end cap , and I think that makes a difference in burn rate . I have the newer 6 and 12 . Both with holes in the end cap . With the U bolt I still get good burn times . Using a mailbox makes a difference too .

...I could either reduce the amount of smoke going into the Bradely, or increase the airflow. As previously mentioned, I have done the mailbox mod and I have a pellet tray. I also have the top vent fully open. The pellet trays sure spit out a lot of smoke. Granted, it's all relative of course...

How do you smoke your sausage? You mention the "sausage smoking process".

Mailbox mod was cheap < $30 since I already had a tube and maze for a year. With the Mes 40 on the leg kit I made a stand from a tomato cage and bolt cutters to raise the vent hole on the top rear of the mailbox to the same height as the chip loader 3" hole and secured with a shoe lace and...

...fish and products. Lots of people only do cold smoked bacon and it only gets heat or cooked when it hits the skillet. So basically a mailbox mod allows you to separate smoke generation from the MES heat generate and have greater control overall. Additionally if using the A-Maze-N Pellet...

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

Nice Job! I have the original 12" round Amazen tube smoker AMNTS and the 5"x8" Amazen pellet smoker AMNPS. I use the AMNPS mostly in the mailbox mod with my Mes 40 and 30 smoker and is a lighter smoke than the AMNTS. If lighting both ends of the AMNPS some folks just light the middle of the...

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.

...tray, nuked the pellets like I've read about here. I've tried using dust. Also something I've read from here. I have also tried the mailbox mod for my Bradley, but it doesn't seem to help. I've also read about how it's the air flow that matters. How can I get the bradley smoker to give a...

...and fish starting 130 etc but anything else I want the controller 100% on, flash one degree below set temp and off at set temp with my mailbox mod and exposed element cooking at 265-275 with ribs, butts and brisket. The exposed element doesn't have as much hysteresis of over/under shooting...

...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...
