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.

...model,couldn't find a decent enough one with the door open to get a good look at the inside.A quick fix might be leaving the drawer open but drilling out your own hole and making a proper vent would be a better solution,though if your going to go that far you might as well just do the mailbox...

Turned out some great food my MES 40 and still use occasionally. Gave a 30 to a son in law and have another 30 sitting on standby😁. I never used the mailbox mod but have used a smoke tube and used a small aluminum pan filled with ashed over charcoal and wood chunks. Good luck in you search for...

Yeah I think that smoke generator port will work. Just know that I've seen a post or 2 where people mention using a voltage controller like @dsk mentions for turning down the voltage on that smoke generator allows for it to smolder better. I use an AMNPS and mailbox mod so can't speak to the...

A used Masterbuilt electric (MES) with the mailbox mod and an Amazen tray/tube. Do a simple rewire and add a PID controller and you'll end up with a sausage smoking machine.

But a pellet tube and use it in lieu of the chips. Amazen is one brand. Place it in bottom of smoker or use a mailbox mod. Lots of posts on this issue to search for other ideas.

I have to put my smoker inside and take it out ea time due to weather..I did drill a hole on the side and added a new large Temp gage.... Guess I can just install a vent thing likes on the top and place it down low I assume

I'm hoping cycling every hour on/off will keep it in check. Otherwise, I'm just going to throw one of those pellet tubes in it and use that. Mailboxes aren't cheap anymore and I got this for a steal so worth a shot. Actually, that's very cheap... I'm going to Harbor Freight anyways to grab a...

Most folks here are using Amazen trays or tubes. These burn pellets or pellet dust independently of the MES element. They're lit using a propane torch and either placed in the smoker or outside the smoker using the "mailbox mod". These can produce in upwards of 12 hours of continuous smoke...

Turn the air pump way down. Eric smoked just fine with it in a smallish cabinet. I’ve had no issues taste wise and produces beautiful meats.
