    First time attempt: full packer MES 30 w/ window

    Seasoned up a full packer brisket 14 and a quarter lbs- cut the point off the flat (not my best knife work) wrapped it up and It's in the fridge- in a few hours I will start up the MES and go for my first ever attempt. I will add posts and pics as the cook progresses. Join me on my adventure!

    When you say tray - i take it you are referring to an AMNPS? If so i would assume the bottom works just fine -as i always see it there in pics from other users all over the place

    I went and took that little screw out- amnps slides right in easy peasy now- doing a pellet run and a single rack of ribs to share with the wife when she gets home from work. Had to take a ........sick day....so i find the smoke to have healing properties :)

    So you did it to both sides? Your first post said one side. Im guessing you mean along the top edges then, and not so much along the base/bottom- (just to clarify)

    That sounds interesting Texas Jason, my pellets are brand new in a sealed bag i got from cookinpellets.com, and here in new mex its super dry climate so im not too concerned with moisture. As far as your amnps id love to see pictures to get an idea how far / which directions you have bent it- i...

    So 275 with the amnps in the above position hasnt created issues with flare-ups for you in the MES 30? Thats great info for if i wanna cook at higher temp- im guessing it would be an issue in the lower position. Im gonna keep experimenting and ill post an update as soon as i get a chance.

    Hey foam, in that post you linked you said you smoked your bird at 275- was that with an amnps? If so im guessing utilizing the rack position u showed in your second photo?

    Ok, im gonna give it a shot at 240 temp, with 2 lines of pellets and see how she runs. Im just wanting to get an accurate picture of the burn time per row and try and develop my method -Probably wont be able to play till the weekend unfortunately :/ -will update though. Thank you again so very...

    Thanks for your response Jim, i went out and fidgeted with the chip tray and the amnps. Its all pretty flush...so flush that its a pretty tight squeeze, i have to kinda wiggle the amnps to get it in or scrape the side wall as i insert it. Something bothers me about wiggling the amnps while lit...

    Foamheart, thank you so much for your detailed response- im going to run it all again, without any food, in the same spot above the chip box that you show in your post. That first spot (where most people fit the amnps) really just burned the pellets way too fast. The whole tray was smoldering...

    starting fires and learning the hard way

    my amnps came in the mail so of course i decides to give it a test run (no food involved) . The mes 30 doesnt have much room but there is a small gap to the left of the heating element where the amnps fits (very snug i might add) but only if you pull the small ash / chip insert that is below the...
