    Finding good beef

    The briskets I've gotten at Sams have been Excel Choice.  I've been pretty happy with them.  Looking back, one of them was only $2.08/lb.

    First smoke with the AMS in the MES 30"

    Could have sworn I posted the final pics and a post but I either didn't hit submit or I posted in another thread.. They were looking pretty done at 3-2-.5 so I pulled them.  Not quite falling off the bone but pull off the bone very easily.  Just the way I like them.

    First smoke with the AMS in the MES 30"

    Had an even better idea but I'm not finding what I'm looking for so far. With the chip loader box and everything out, I'll put a piece of steel right above the hole.  Holes drilled for heat dissipation.  Original water pan will sit right on top of that sheet. Stick a piece of 3" tubing with a...

    First smoke with the AMS in the MES 30"

    Another hour and a half... My main reason for not just putting it on one of the racks was trying to be under the water pan.  I figured any rising moisture can't be good.  I can't think of any reason I'll use the chip burner any more so I'll more than likely remove the loader box, put another...

    First smoke with the AMS in the MES 30"

    That's a good idea.  I was going to ask if he had considered making it about 5.5" or whatever it needs to be to fit there.  Seems like that would be the perfect spot for it.  Of course, then everyone else will be wanting it made to fit specifically where they want it in their smoker.. It's...

    First smoke with the AMS in the MES 30"

    Here it is about 90 minutes in. I spritzed the ribs with apple juice and turned them around.  Another note, I'm going to do 3-2-1 and I'm cooking at 250.  I have never been happy with 2-2-1 on baby backs.  I have also usually done them at 220 so we'll see if I overdo them upping the time and...

    Finding good beef

    I live in Mooresville and I've actually been to that market.  I was working in W-S one day and I look for butcher shops wherever I'm working all the time.  They didn't have a whole lot of variety the day I was there but I talked to the guy for a minute and I think they do alot and you have to...

    First smoke with the AMS in the MES 30"

    It's burning into the 2nd row some, I'm definitely getting alot of smoke.  I think I'm going to build a deflector but If you were only lighting one end and started on the right it would give you heavier smoke initially and then taper off and work as normal.  I'll be noting the burn time to how...

    First smoke with the AMS in the MES 30"

    In my test yesterday I only had dust in the far left row, the far right one (closest to the heating element) is burning faster but I think it will be OK once it gets away from the element.  I'll give an update on how long it burns, etc. It would be easy to build a small deflector panel under...

    A-Maze-N-Smoker and the MES

    So the real question is where to put it in the MES.  Take a look here. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forum/thread/95922/first-smoke-with-the-ams-in-the-mes-30#post_513856

    First smoke with the AMS in the MES 30"

    Got my A-Maze-N-Smoker yesterday and couldn't wait to try it out.  Ran a little maple in it yesterday just to try it and it's pretty cool.  The first issue is where to put it in the MES.  I figure since I'm not planning on using chips in the MES I removed a bunch of the chip tray mounting...
