    question about mes 40

    This was the second instruction on the first page of the users manual.  Masterbuilt may have included it because some users might have put it up too high on a table and there might have been a case where a smoker fell off and hurt someone or something like that. (protecting themselves from...

    question about mes 40

    I just purchased a new mes 40 (2011 model) and the instructions say "Unit MUST be on the ground. Do not place unit on tables or counters".  Do these smokers generate too much heat under the bottom for them to be placed on a wood deck? Sure hope not.

    Anyone tried dogwood chunks for smoking?

    II live in the heart of East Texas, where we had a serious drought the last 2 or 3 years. Last summer it caused us to loose 10 beautiful dogwood trees in my back yard from 4 to 10 inches in diameter. I was wondering if anyone who might run across this thead had ever tried dogwood for smoking? I...

    GOSM SFB AMNPS Question (Todd, Eric, NWDave)

    S2K9K  -  I have been using chips (moistened) which I get at adademy.sporting goods, but I had run out and decided to try using some pellets I had purchased for the amnps. ROOKIE MOVE.I found out the hard way, they don't work so well in a gosm chip pan. Thanks for the info about using chunks. I...

    GOSM SFB AMNPS Question (Todd, Eric, NWDave)

    S2K9K - Looks like you are on to something. I sure hope this works out. I am sick and tired of putting up with the white smoke generated by the gosm. I managed to over-smoke 2 cornish hens on it yesterday. Bitter. Yuck. You are going to love the TBS generated by the AMNPS. I hope Chefrob is...

    GOSM SFB AMNPS Question (Todd, Eric, NWDave)

    Hope you don't mind me following this post. I tend to be a little bull-dogish about getting somethin to work and really want to be able to hot smoke in my gosm with amnps. What is the weight of the tool box? Also it will be interesting to see how many holes will have to be drilled in the end...

    question about powdered dextrose

    I want to make some smoked breakfast sausage that calls for powdered dextrose. I cannot find any of this local and don't want to order it unless absolutely necessary. Can anyone tell me of a viable substitute for powdered dextrose for sausage making?

    Going fishing this week

    Hey, njsmoker83  --  Good luck on those stripers. They are a great sport to catch and great on the grill. The secret to eating stripers is when you filet them be sure and remove all the red streak from the outside of the filets. It will taste very strong if not removed and discarded. Here is a...

    HELP! AMNPS and GOSM don't gee-haw

    Chefrob - It seems like somewhere in the cobwebs of my feeble mind, I remember seeing someone attaching a mailbox to their smoker for this purpose. I think they drilled holes in the door. Not too  sure how they attached it to the smoker. Hmm!   Might be worth seaching for in our sprare time.

    HELP! AMNPS and GOSM don't gee-haw

    Chefrob - I would love to know if you come up with a solution for mounting the amnps outside the smoker somehow. I assume the amnps work much better with electric smokers since there is an absence of flame, but unfortunately mine is one of the sausage-maker 20 pound smokehouses and the mfg. says...

    HELP! AMNPS and GOSM don't gee-haw

    Post # 10 in the thread you sent is basically the way I am set up, except that my gosm is not a wide body so the shield is directly under the amnps. I guess I will have to improvise some method of hooking up with an air pump hose. That might be tricky due to the heat as most air hoses are...

    HELP! AMNPS and GOSM don't gee-haw

    Thanks for the response. I checked the links you provided but none of them seem to address my specific problem. I have my amnps around 12 inches from the propane flame, there is no problem with humidity here in east texas with dry conditions, and  air vents are situated immediately right and...

    HELP! AMNPS and GOSM don't gee-haw

    I cannot keep my amnps smoking when my propane fire is going on my GOSM. I can turn off the propane and the amnps starts pouring smoke immediately. It seems like the propane fueled flame is literally sucking all the oxygen out of the unit.  I have the amnps situated on a grate about 10 or 12...

    Great pics man. Those shrimp make a man want to take a bite out of his computer screen. By the way, how can I go about getting that newsletter from jeff?

    Here is a new - smoked fried fish filets

    I ran across this several years ago and have not seen it on the forum. Season and fry your fish filets just as you would normally do. Then place them in a smoker at around 100 degrees to keep them warm and smoke them for around 30 minutes with whatevery flavor of smoke you want. It doesn't take...

    Question about cold smoking rib eyes

    Thanks for the info. I didn't know if the 40-140-4 rule applied to beef steaks or not.

    Question about cold smoking rib eyes

     I am marinating some rib eye steaks for tomorrow and would like to get a good "smoky" taste to them. My question is: Would I get better results cold smoking them for about an hour with the amnps and then taking them directly to the grill, or would the results be just as effective if I just...
