How Many Mes Owners Here?
Hi Robb - I use nothing but Traeger pellets in my MES - but never in the chip pan - always in my 5x8 AMAZN-PS. Works great.- terrymn

1st propane smoke - immediate problem!
I only did chips once in my MES, and after that (since I wanted to be able to cold smoke too) got a 5x8 AMNPS and haven't had to worry about watching/switching to keep TBS rolling. That said, I got about an hour out of soaked chips in mine, so 10 minutes sounds really quick to me. How long...- terrymn

Great Smoke from the Masterbuilt
I've never had a problem keeping the AMNPS going - I put the tray on top of the sheet metal chip box, pull out the chip loader tube an inch or two, and run w/the vent wide open. I give it 45 seconds of torch and let it flame for 10 minutes before blowing it out and putting it in the MES...- terrymn

Weekend Smoke
Completely agree! I'm doing a small batch today in balmy MN - 52F and sunny (even with 95% snow cover - melt, please melt!!). With the AMPS, a tray of ice right over the pellets, a gallon bottle of ice above that, and an umbrella to keep direct sun off the smoker, I'm rolling TBS at 60* IT.- terrymn

It's going to get warm soon, so cheese season is getting ready to close.
Looks great! I'm doing 6.5 lbs of "bonus" Mozz today - I know a guy who owns a restaurant, and have been telling him about the new smoker. He bought a 6.5 lb block and said "smoke it and keep half." It's also nice that he gets his at roughly half what I can buy it for retail. Pretty good...- terrymn

Rainy day turkey smoke / QView
Not my favorite way to smoke, but we reverse planned on doing a turkey today (13 lbs - thawed in the fridge for 2.5 days, brined for 18 hours) so today was the day. The brine I used was: 2 gal water 1 1/2 cups canning salt 1/3 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup Worcestershire 3 TBSP minced garlic 1... -

First Breakfast Fattie/3rd AMPNS test
Cool - I'd def try pulling out the tube a bit - I pull it just to where the chip drawer (ie opening) starts and it has worked well. I also put that side of the MES away from the wind if it's a breezy day. Also - not sure how humid it is at your place but I keep my pellets in a cooler w/the lid... -
First Breakfast Fattie/3rd AMPNS test
Looks great! WRT your AMNPS - what kind of venting did you give it? I have an MES and pull out the chip tube a few inches, and then go with full open vent - I haven't had mine go out. Even smoking in cold weather (say, 10* F) the smoker keeps temp just fine... -
