    Venting MES30/ AMNPS/ Mailbox mod

    I think I know what the problem was... and nothing to do with the setup itself.  I only did about 2/3 of a row in the tray.  I usually nuke my pellets for 2 mins when I have a full tray.  I nuked the handful for the same two mins and probably dried the crap out of them.  The whole thing burned...

    Venting MES30/ AMNPS/ Mailbox mod

    Decided to build the mailbox mod for my AMNPS. Previously I was putting the tray in the smoker, which seemed to work pretty good.  I had the chip tray loader tube pulled out about an inch an the top vent opened all the way.  Seemed to usually get a nice, thin blue smoke. Adding on the mailbox...

    The Continuous Reverse Sear Thread!

    Here's my first attempt at a reverse seared steak!  I seasoned these NY strip steaks with motreal steak seasoning and then smoked them to 110deg in my MES30 with apple pellets with my new AMNPS.  Here is a shot of them just pulled from the smoker: Then I seared them for less than a minute...

    mes 30 cold smoking

    Just looked up a STC1000 on Amazon to order... forgot the fact that the top end of this controller is 210 degrees.  I'll have to find a different controller if I want toto be a full time device.

    mes 30 cold smoking

    Yup!  I've seen the paint can heater... and i'm sure that would work!  In my fementation chamber, I use a very small space heater in lieu of that. After some discussion here I just went back to the Masterbuilt website, and the MES30 is only a 800 watt element... so that translates to 6.67...

    mes 30 cold smoking

    What I'm considering is replacing me Masterbuilt cold smoking kit for an ama-z-en smoker tray, for overnight smoking.  If I could override the MES 30 controller and dial in a set temp of around 50, it would truely be a set it and forget it situation in the cold winter months (7 months out of the...

    MASTERBUILT ELECTRIC COLD SMOKER

    Hello bel420: Sorry about resurrecting this old thread, but I was wondering if you have expirimented much since May with cutting the power of the cold smoking unit after it started producing smoke?  Seems like it would generate a lot less heat with the element off for cold smoking if the chips...
