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...

Turn off the attachment when it's smoking for lighter smoke. Or get a 15 amp 120vac variable 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...

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'm back at this and think I may have made a small step towards figuring it out. Having gone through countless posts on the topic, and doing my best to stay out of the weeds when it comes to TBS vs well take your pick of smoke, I figured I could either reduce the amount of smoke going into the...

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...

As mentioned there are items like cheese that can't take heat or it melts so gotta cold smoke it. Also dishes like salmon lox and other cured and/or cold smoke 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...

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...
