    How long is too long to brine a turkey? Is 20ish hours too long?

    Resting times for turkey

    I am smoking a bird this year. I haven't got the bird, so can't tell you how much it weighs. My question isn't with smoking the bird, but rest time and "storage" until lunch. I always like it when I have to delay lunch/dinner for a little bit until the meat is done and rested. That way I...

    Dreaded Control Board Failure MES MB20072618

    Hey PID guys. Can you answer some questions? 1 Will the actual box stand up to the higher heat that I'm gonna cook with? 2 What delay settings do you use between the temp reading and element turning on? 3 What temp variation do you use (+- 4 degrees)? 4 Stock element in a MES 40 work just fine...

    PID Questions

    Just got a new controller from Masterbuilt. Seems to work fine. Looking at a PID just for giggles, and the fact that I want to smoke birds higher than 275. I have a couple of questions for the PID guys: 1 Will the actual box stand up to the higher heat that I'm gonna cook with? 2 What delay...

    Masterbuilt sent a new controller asap. They were very nice and helpful. Couldn't get the remote to sync up, so they sent a new one of those too.

    Why do these things happen when we're cooking for a large group (Family)? I was smoking a couple of briskets. Put them on at 5 this morning, temp at 250. Went back for a nap. 7 am I got up to check on things. Temp read "30", also had an issue with amazn pellet tray (don't think I had...

    MES140S Mixed reviews?

    Well I finally did it. I killed my MES30. Completely my fault. Got it wet cleaning it. I mean deep cleaning with a power washer. It was great and never gave me any problems for years. now it keeps popping the GFCI breaker that it has been plugged into for the entire life of the smoker. Oh...

    MES Mailbox Mod! for use with AMNPS

    I drilled a couple of 3/4" holes low in the door. I also have my ANMPS elevated with feet like mentioned in previous post. I welded 4 SS nuts on the bottom and screwed a couple of bolts in. Looks exactly like the previous post. I have never microwaved pellets or anythings else. I check it...

    Mailbox (Popcorn) Mod (with a small twist)

    You can find popcorn tins now or about $5 at every Walmart . You get the popcorn too. I was with my wife the other day at Hobby Lobby. They have all kinds of tins cheap. They all have Christmas themes, but I don't think Jesus would mind.

    Too cold? More help from the cheese people.

    Last night I smoked a couple of pounds of cheddar and some string cheese (just for fun). I smoked it five ever and no color. Seriously about 8 hours of smoke. The temp last night was in the high 30s. The string cheese had a nice brown color, of course it's a little easier to see because it...

    MES Mailbox Mod! for use with AMNPS

    I drilled two 3/4 inch hole low in the door, and open the top vent all the way. I also take the stock chip tray out of the smoker. Works cold, hot, water tray or dry. Good luck.

    Mine works great hot and cold. Make sure the top vent is open all the way.

    AMNPS Smoke times

    Does brisket gain any more of a smoky flavor exposed longer?  I know you said personal preference, but is there a point where the smoke isn't really doing anything?

    AMNPS Smoke times

    So more to do with the pellets than air flow at this point.  Good to know.  Thanks.  Ant reason to have smoke on the meat any longer?

    AMNPS Smoke times

    I'm no Smokololigist and I'm sure this has been beaten to death, but here goes.  I did a mailbox mod and everything works just fine.  I have read many posts about the AMNPS not working at all.  I started a brisket last night at midnight.  I got 8.5 hours of smoke from the AMNPS.  Great right...

    MES Mailbox Mod! for use with AMNPS

    Thanks to everybody that has posted to this thread.  I can't believe it took me this long to so it.  I was looking at making a stand for my smoker and making a popcorn mod.  Had a hard time finding a popcorn tin and Walsmarts had a mailbox for $9.  Sold.  As I was walking through the hardware...
