    Anyone use and have issues with Smoker Pellets from Bass Pro Shop?

    I will try that next time, either preheating or microwave. Humid in Illinois except in December...lol These failed first time from a  fresh opened bag, who knows, all 3 flavors were difficult staying lit... Will try that though, have nothing to lose... Seems the drier they are the more efficient...

    Anyone use and have issues with Smoker Pellets from Bass Pro Shop?

    I used them straight out of the bag and, so I don't believe they are wet. I keep the bags tie wrapped and stored inside a cabinet in my garage. These failed me straight from the bag.

    Anyone use and have issues with Smoker Pellets from Bass Pro Shop?

    I has a MES 30" electric smoker that from day 1 I have been using the mailbox setup and AMNPS tray. I had run out of the pellets from AMNPS and seen Bass Pro Shops by my home had a few flavors, Hickory, Cherry, Apple.. The bags were about $6 for a 5lb bag. Thought its convenient, I am in a bind...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I only had mine about 5 months. I picked it up at Meijers for a great deal. It was and still is normally $279. It was on sale online for $201 and with the email I received I had a 30% off with another 15% off after that. Out the door $132, not a bad deal.. I love the fact I set it and forget...

    beef eye of round roast. **need input**

    I know this post is rather old but thought I would interject. An Eye of Round is a very lean cut of meat, the lack of fat rendering in the meat makes it susceptible to being tough. To tenderize an Eye of Round, the day before you plan on cooking it, season it pretty heavily with kosher salt...

    One more "Mail Box Mod" for the AMNPS and the MES30 ...NEW PICTURES FOR ATTACHING ELBOW TO MAILBOX

    Not sure if this helps, but my heating element is still covered, never took anything out but the chip tray. The 3" ducting fits in the opening for the chip tray perfectly..

    Another AMNPS-MES Question

    I would strongly suggest getting a metal mailbox and 3" metal ducting with flexible elbows. The duct fits the opening where the chip tray is located. You light the AMNPS Pellets and put the tray in the mailbox, all the smoke will flow right into the smoker. I have the same electric smoker and...

    Has anyone smoked a pork steak?

    Just some FYI regarding pork and internal temp... Dated May 2010 That could be pork’s new slogan after the United States Department of Agriculture  on Tuesday said it was lowering its safe cooking temperature to 145 degrees, from the longtime standard of 160. The new recommendation is in line...

    One more "Mail Box Mod" for the AMNPS and the MES30 ...NEW PICTURES FOR ATTACHING ELBOW TO MAILBOX

    I notice you have not covered over and of the holes in the mailbox door, and I see some pics where those holes are covered. Do you find that not covering those holes doesn't lead to too much air? I can only assume others closed off those holes to limit the air. Would more air cause the pellets...

    I dont know how to SMOKE BACON???

    It takes about 3-4 hours at 225... This was my first try and I probably could have done it faster at a higher temp... EXCELLENT RESULTS.. Seen some inquires about smoking store bought packaged bacon, the non pre-smoked bacon. I went ahead and smoked some bacon today to just see how it would...

    Problems with my Masterbuilt Electric Smoker 30"

    If you love the AMNPS get a metal mailbox and 3" duct work. This will fit in the opening on the side and will eliminate the chip tray. You have to drill a hole in the mailbox and secure the metal duct work with some metal screws and foil tape.. Place the AMNPS inside the mail box and it will...
