    One more "Mail Box Mod" for the AMNPS and the MES30 ...NEW PICTURES FOR ATTACHING ELBOW TO MAILBOX

    Hi Dave, thanks for the reply. I didn't drill any holes in the front. I wasn't sure if I would need vent holes or not. After posting, I did try running it with the front cover slightly open and I got better results. I'm pretty sure it is an airflow issue like you said. When the mes is hot it...

    One more "Mail Box Mod" for the AMNPS and the MES30 ...NEW PICTURES FOR ATTACHING ELBOW TO MAILBOX

    So I got my mailbox setup and it works great! Used it for a few hot smokes with great results. I want to smoke some cheese but I have a question. When cold smoking, is the color of the smoke generally different? I ran a test smoke with a MES cold and the AMZNPS in the mailbox and the smoke is...

    Prime Rib question

    So I got a prime rib all ready this morning and something came up and I may not be able to smoke it this afternoon... The use by date was the 5th, it was cryovacked. If I can't smoke it today, think I should freeze it with the rub on it or just let it sit in the fridge in plastic wrap? Thanks in...

    One more "Mail Box Mod" for the AMNPS and the MES30 ...NEW PICTURES FOR ATTACHING ELBOW TO MAILBOX

    I am thinking about doing this but I'd like to know if there's a certain mailbox I should get... Is aluminum ok or should I look for something else? I wasn't sure if there would be a problem with the heat and the mailbox metal type.

    MES30 Chip Tray "Upgrade" looks exactly like old one

    I did the same thing... Sent an email to customer service, told them my model number and they said they would ship a new one. New one came and it is the same size. I feel bad that they shipped me a replacment that I don't need. Planning on calling them to see if they want me to send it back. I...

    Need some help... MES 30

    Haven't tried sawdust before. I'll have to give it a try. I smoked a Fatty 2 nights ago and used hardly any chips. Also made sure there was no bark in the chips and left the loader slightly open. I had better results this time. I didn't seem to have to creosote flavor which is a huge improvement.

    Need some help... MES 30

    So I fired up the MES today, and I put about 1/4 the chips I was putting in.  At first I got TBS, but then about 15 minutes in, came the white smoke...  It finally calmed down after about another 15 minutes.  I started getting TBS again, but maybe I am being picky... I can smell this almost...

    Need some help... MES 30

    Thanks all for the help. This is such a great place to go for info and help. I ended up ordering a AMNPS which should be here soon. I'm not totally convinced that I was putting too many chips in the loader.  I uploaded the pic above but I didn't get too many comments on it. Was that too many...

    Need some help... MES 30

    I'm in California, it was pretty cool last night when I did the Tri Tip.  It was about 50 outside... And the top vent was fully open.

    Need some help... MES 30

    Other than leaving the top vent fully open, is there something else that I need to do to get air into the smoker?  Am I supposed to take the chip loader out after loading the chips into the smoker?

    I was smoking at 225... Maybe I need to soak them then. I will try this next time. Thanks for the suggestion. I was smoking a Tri Tip and a pork loin.

    Need some help... MES 30

    So I have been smoking on a charcoal smoker for the past 2 years and I picked up a MES 30 last weekend due to it being on sale.... I love the MES due to ease of use, but there is something about this chip tray that I am not happy about.  My go to wood is Hickory and I am used to my smoked meat...

    MES chip tray mod

    Thanks Todd. I plan on picking up an AMNPS from you at some point. Kicking myself for missing the Cyber Monday deal... I need a new Maverick as well. Mine took a dump and I need another.
