...If you do a search, using my name and "big chief" you will find previous posts. Here's one with a couple pics. Yes, it also has a AMNTS mod, but yesterday it was not used. Back to old school I went.

...the skin I find low and slow chicken is over smoked. Last chicken I ran I used my gas grill around 350F and foil pouch of pellets (ordered a AMNTS) and was the best chicken I ever made. Skin was crispy and a kiss of smoke flavor. If you like low and slow smoked, dry the skin to...
If you are using a Amazen tube pellet smoker, AMNTS, try filling it half full. Lay it horizontally and shake it left to right quickly for a minute. You will end up with the tube half filled. Keep it horizontally and light an end.
...first pics) might actually allow more air to flow up. But, not certain.
David,
Yes, I still use it, but only as a heat sink, since I use the AMNTS setup. Haven't use chunks or chips for quite awhile. Actually this smoker has been earning it's keep recently by being a cold smoker using...
Welcome back! Your issue is the Nature of the Beast. Most of us MES owners bought an A-MAZE-N PRODUCTS...AMNPS Pellet Smoke Generator or the AMNTS Tube Smoke Generator, also burns pellets but is more effective when fresh air is limited. Todd Johnson, a long time member and Maze Inventor...
Hi cmayna, if you don't use chunks or chips anymore , do you still use the cast frying pan. I like where you put the AMNTS, next to the water tray. I will be putting mine there when i pick one yp soon

Regarding the AMNTS, try filling it half way to help reduce the amount of smoke. Fill it vertically half way up. Turn it horizontally and with one hand covering the fill end, shake it sideways vigorously for 4-5 shakes and this will bring the level to approximately half way horizontally...
...a 220v stove top element. It is plenty to heat up the fridge. I have a external mailbox for smoke source. I did try putting in a Tube smoker (AMNTS) inside, and it was hard to keep the AMNTS lit with the tube above the element, I have never had problems with the AMNTS staying lit in the...
Thank you JJ - I am familiar with the products, I have both in storage in another state alas. I will contact Todd and make sure they fit in the newer MES.
Sherry even though I started this in regards to doing this in a MES,a lot info will apply to your situation/smoker as well:

I start with the Amnts tube with pellets inside the smoker for the first hour of cooking.
I also added a dimmer to my cold smoke attachment and used it similar to @bregent . Then I read on this forum that someone also read that if you turn it on until smoke starts to produce, then turn it off...
Hello,
Recently purchased this MES 30 20071117 Model. I have the AMNTS 12" oval tube. I have seasoned the smoker and will be doing its first smoke this Sunday. I have been looking at some other set up threads for the MES 30 and attempted my own based on what I learned.
I have foiled the bottom...
I use the mailbox so I can use the AMNPS or AMNTS for hands off long smokes, but also to be able to change wood flavors without having to open the smoker. My Salmon dishes start out with Alder and end up with Apple.
At high altitude (Denver-ish), I have had poor luck w/ the maze AMNPS. The tube AMNTS works pretty well. I have had better success w/ many air holes open, or even crack the door, until I'm *positive* it's lit well. Then I close off the holes to get something similar to Dave's picture. The 12"...
...is about 3400 feet asl. I saw that people were having difficulties with the amnps tray at high altitudes, so I bought a 12” oval tube model (amnts?). I plan to make another thread in the electric smoker forum about mes30 setups that people have, although I have learned a bit from searching...
...one issue...It needs a good supply of Oxygen and so it does not work well in Fuel burning smokers like Gassers and Pellet Smokers.
Enter the AMNTS TUBE. the larger holes allow it to use limited oxygen and it works where the AMNPS won't.
Looking at the Knock Off, the larger holes, may very...
...on the ring that surrounds the burner which would prevent a good air flow for the flames. Thus my skillet support:
Another mod is using a AMNTS which has made it so much easier. Placed just inside the lower door next to the water tray. No more chips or chunks.
Oh,,,,, can't forget...
