    MES 30" Heatloss/door issues.

    So, I adjusted the latch on the door down to close as tightly as possible on the chicken smoke I have going right now.  It drastically reduced the amount of leakage from around the door.  However, it seemed to cut down on the air flow to the point that the AMNPS went out after a bit.  I'm fine...

    MES 30" Heatloss/door issues.

    It's pretty common for people to assume you're referring to the digital model when referencing an MES 30.  I have the same model as you and have smoke coming from around the door and paint bubbling.  The manual says that smoke loss from around the door is normal and that paint may burn off...

    Question about my new MBES 30

    If you're soaking the chips maybe try not smoking them.  Also, depending with how many chips you're putting in at the beginning, you might experiment with fewer.  I have the same model and got tired of messing with/reloading and getting inconsistent smoke.  I got an AMNPS and my inconsistent...

    First baby back ribs on MES with AMNPS

    I'm actually having trouble with the AMNPS getting too hot and burning way too quickly with the smoker @ 225, even with a water tray filled right beside it.  Prior to getting it I was concerned about getting proper air flow after reading about others having problems with it.  Todd mentioned that...

    Smaller cuts of beef to smoke

    I am pretty new to smoking and have been enjoying chicken, ribs, and tenderloin. I smoke a chicken every week and eat it for lunch for the week and I can go through a couple of racks of baby back ribs or a pork tenderloin on my own over a couple of days.  The thing is that my wife doesn't eat...

    First baby back ribs on MES with AMNPS

    Good info, thanks.  The directions on the AMNPS says that water can negatively effect the pellets burning.  I had also done some reading on the water vs no water and decided to give it a shot.  I have no complaints about how the ribs turned out with no water in the tray but now I'm curious so I...

    New MES40

    Why not run the AMNPS for the final 45 minutes instead of adding chips?  Seems like it would serve the same purpose.  edit: oops double post

    New MES40

    Why not just run the AMNPS for the final 45 minutes of the seasoning instead of wood chips?

    First baby back ribs on MES with AMNPS

    Did some baby back ribs last night and was ready to do the aquarium pump mod on my MES in case I had trouble keeping the AMNPS lit but it wasn't necessary.  It was actually burning too quickly at one point and I had to move it and give it more of a heat shield.  What a great little device.  I...
