    amznps issues using apple pellets?

    I was having similar issues with the pellets not staying lit even after burning for almost 30 min before putting it in my mes.  I think most of my problem was air flow.  I use my mes in the back of my garage with both garage doors open.  So I figured I had plenty of air.  It finally dawned on me...

    Build quality of the MES

    Like anything, it's got it's quirks, but overall I'm very happy with mine.  It's been getting regular workouts a few times a week for almost a year now.

    New MES 40 remote control odd behavior...

    I only use the  MES remote if I need to change the temp.  I rely on my Mavericks to keep an eye on the temps.  A Maverick & AMNPS are more than worth the investment to make for some worry free MES smoking.

    Need some help... MES 30

    This is the biggest reason for the problem you're having.  You're right, an AMNPS will solve this.  But until then just a few chips at a time will take care of it.

    MES 40 Temp Problems

    I've been on the road a lot lately & have just been dealing with the temp problems when I'm home by constantly watching my smoker during smokes (not what I got an MES for).  The last few weeks I've tried calling the girl at MES customer service who has been so good to me in the past.  Each time...

    Smoking a turkey breast and using the slaughterhouse brine. Need a good rub

    I've had my best results ever with the competition chicken brine, & just seasoning heavily with salt & pepper.

    burnt through the whole amnps in just 3 hours!

    That's happened to me a couple of times, and I did end up with a nasty bitter taste.  I figured it was happening because my burner was staying on too long.  Flattened out a foil bread pan & stood it up between the burner & my AMNPS.  Seems to have solved the problem for the most part.

    smoked chicken

    I take it out of the smoker when it hits 145, and throw it on a very hot grill for a couple minutes to take it the rest of the way to 165.  Comes out great.

    recommendation

    The biggest plus to going with the 40" is that it holds more, & can take a whole rack of ribs without having to cut them.  If you're looking for a set & forget setup, then this with an AMNPS is about as easy as it gets.  An AMNPS loaded with pellets will get around 10hrs of smoke.  Add a good...

    MES 30 first smoke not so great :( advice plz?

    10 hrs is long enough in the brine for whole chickens.  Make sure you rinse for at least a minute after brining.  You may want to bump the temp up to 275 for poultry too.  I've been very happy using these brining instructions here...

    The great brining debate continues

    I love brining, and can't believe I haven't always done it.  For chicken and turkey I use the Competition Chicken brine recipe that I got here: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/a/how-to-smoke-chicken-competition-style   Best birds I've ever tasted!

    Thanksgiving Turkey in an MES

    I've done a lot of turkey breasts in my mes40 (whole turkey just without legs & thighs).  I brine it for 24 hrs and season with salt, pepper, & poultry seasoning.  I smoke between 200 & 230.  It comes out incredible.  Best turkey I've ever had.  Each one cooks different.  Last time I did two 8.5...
