    Chip loader

    Interesting idea! If I make this thing too automatic, the wife might question my beer or bourbon drinking all day on the weekend :D;)

    Chip loader

    When it’s windy I just leave the unit in place without turning it on. Plenty of airflow on windy days.

    Chip loader

    When the amnps doesn’t have sufficient air flow and “burns out”, as in stops smoking

    Chip loader

    Lol! I never considered filtering the air, but it could easily be done. I have smoked lotsa stuff with no filter over the years ;)

    Chip loader

    So it works incredibly well with amnps, it is adjustable speed and provides as little or as much airflow needed. I found that by using this, I have less “burn outs” and much more consistent tbs. I have also discovered that if you drink too much and forget to turn the fan speed down it is very...

    MES40 20072918 ended up getting a 20072618

    Original dented model was crushed on one side, not worth the price. I ended up getting the 20072618 which is the same, but has a stainless door w/window, temp probe and RF control. I bought from Walmart, and here is why. I have bought 3 mes30's from them, but only actually paid for 1 and a...

    MES40 20072918 ended up getting a 20072618

    I am looking at replacing both of my MES30's and picking up one of the 20072918 MES40's. is anyone familiar with this model number? I searched the forum but got 0 results. My 30's are the 20070910 gen 1 which makes me thing this is also a Gen 1 40 (all black no window). Any help appreciated.

    Dang, briskets are hard for me!

    I very rarely foil briskets unless I have a request for a specific flavor such as jalapeno jelly or dr. pepper which are great foiling sauces. I prefer the old method of meat, rub, and smoke. I usually run 2 mazes full for a large brisket (17 lb took about 23 hours to hit 205). I never change...

    Dang, briskets are hard for me!

    In my opinion, its about what your end goal is. I did a 17 lb. one last weekend for a work event and the primary request was burnt ends. I trim fat cap to around 1/2"-5/8", cut in half, rub generously, and smoke at 225 in an old MES30 gen1 until IT hits 200-205. Hell, I have even hit 210 before...

    Extended Warranties for MES-what would you do?

    One of my MES30's failed, and I had the asurion warranty from Walmart. They didnt want to ship it, and issued me a full refund of purchase price, including tax, on a visa e-gift card . 2.5 years old, i say you cant beat that for 20 bucks.
