    Ribs going in the MES and using the amnps first time

    I place 4 slabs of Baby Back or St Louis Style in a 4 slab rib rack in a 40" MES BT Smoker on 2nd shelf and smoke @ 230* for 3 hrs and then moisten them and wrap in foil and put back in Smoker for 1 1/2 hrs and they are done to falling off the bone stage. In fact, they will fall off if not...

    Ribs going in the MES and using the amnps first time

    Why would putting the ribs in Smoker like that take 6 or 7 hrs?  Shouldn't that be more like 4 1/2 to 5 hrs?

    MES Door Glass

    The Dawn Blue Bottle will have a 5 X  on the neck of it and saying "absorbs 5 times more grease".

    MES Door Glass

    Takes too long, too much effort to do that, danger of scratching glass, and etc. Methods I mentioned takes 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. A razor blade takes a big gob of minutes, plus glass still has to be washed after.

    MES Door Glass

    I've used Magic Eraser, Simple Green, and Weber Grill Cleaner and sprayed with water in a spray bottle over those cleaners and then used a  gray or lighter scotch brite pad rubbed lightly on glass to loosen the stain. Then wiped with bounty paper towels, followed by plain water and towels 1 or 2...

    Pellet Smokers

    I am committed to exhausting all means of trying to make the  A-Maze-N Smoker work for me in my 40" BT MES. Now, with that being said, if all else fails for me, has anyone tried or does anyone use the Vortex from Smoke Daddy and if so, how well does it work...

    That is the same exact same position I run mine.

    AMNPS ... I Give UP

    I place mine in the same exact place as you and at the same height on a open wire rack so it can get air all the way around. Todd says the 2.0 and 2.5 smokers don't have good air flow. Since my problems are more severe on ribs with 4 slabs being on one shelf in a rob rack, I keep wondering if...

    AMNPS ... I Give UP

    He has posted what I said on where he places his AMNPS and I "think" but not positive that he also said he leaves the chip loader closed.

    AMNPS ... I Give UP

    I have the same MES BT 2.5 that Bear does and I have problems, so I don't know why he supposedly doesn't and I do.  That is why I am questioning if the 4 slabs of ribs in a rib rack on one shelf might be chocking off the upward draft. Even though I have had problems off and on with other...

    lol ... hey tjones, you are correct on one thing and that is...  I am a Sooner Fan ...  For whatever reason, I was a Sooner fan before I ever moved from KS to TX and then to OK in 1969 I don't want to go to the mailbox thing unless forced to. I am going to try the Tube next time per Todd...

    Model No is  20070215 and a 40" with legs bought at Sams June 2015. Exhaust is out of the top on left hand side-back corner. Pan is oval and straight across and not slanted with 5 x 6 pan like the Gen 2.0 models had. (I had the 2.0 and gave it away when I bought the new BT) If the new...

    AMNPS ... I Give UP

    Like yours, my Maze sits on a wire stand about 2" off the bottom pan when I place it there.. Yesterday, I was trying to smoke 4 slabs of baby back ribs. They were in a rib rack that holds 4 slabs. I had the rack on the 2nd shelf from the top. It takes up a lot of room regardless of what shelf it...

    AMNPS ... I Give UP

    I did all that you mentioned above. I don't have rails but tried the  AMNPS on bottom shelf on left side as well as all other things done as said in my original Topic. because the 40" BT doesn't have rails.

    AMNPS ... I Give UP

    Additional Information... My Smoker is a 40" MES BT 2.5 purchased in June 2015 I use Todds Pellets. Bought 8 different ones in fact. It isn't altitude as the altitude here in OKC is 1100-1200 feet.

    AMNPS ... I Give UP

    Kurt, I foil the bottom pan and I do punch a hole in it. I have had trouble like this since last summer when I excitedly first invested in this pellet contraption thing thinking I would no longer have to baby sit the MES adding wood chips and I end up baby sitting it more than wood chips...
