    New MES question about wood chips

    Sorry, I have a few more questions. I hope you all don't mind me keep asking these questions? How long does a two pound bag of pellets last? What type of wood do you all normally prefer to use? I was thinking pecan and hickory. Any thoughts? Thanks again Mike

    New MES question about wood chips

    What do you all use to light the AMNPS? Do you always fill it with wood pellets, even if you are only smoking something for a short time? Do you save any un burnt pellets that are left over in the AMNPS? When do you decide to light both ends vs. only lighting one end? Thanks again every Mike

    New MES question about wood chips

    Thanks Bear Yes that's my MES. I just bought it new, does it mean I got a bad deal when I bought it the other day? I paid $180 from Amazon , but was the same price on Walmart.com. Just wondering. Also, do I take out the current wood chip tray or leave it in? Thanks again Mike

    New MES question about wood chips

    Since my last post I was reading about the AMNPS. For what ever reason I was thinking this was around $100. But it seems very reasonable and I can also use this for cold smoking, correct?

    New MES question about wood chips

    Thanks for the info on AMNPS. I really appreciate it. So my new MES is unusable without it? As I'm new to this I am just wondering what a guy does if he doesn't have a AMNPS? Am I waisting money and my time by trying to smoke meat in my MES if I don't have a AMNPS? Please advise. Thanks again Mike
