    Spatchcock Chicken

    I know this is an old post, but I was reading through some posts on Spatchcocking a bird. In these posts you keep saying that your cooked your bird till the temp was 170 deg. in the breast but your probe is shown in the thigh. Which is it 170 deg. in the breast or thigh?

    "Baron Von Schwein" 120 Gallon Horizontal Tank RF Build. QVIEW!

    Done a lot of welding upside down on board ships in ship yards. If you get yourself a good set of leathers, shield and a bib for the shield there should be no problem with the slag and molten metal drips. If you are planning to make more of these you might want to invest in some of these items.

    Tod, is that a biscuit cutter on top of your MES? Is that to block the vent because there is so much creosote on the on the vent it doesn't move any more?

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    As I said Todd, I was just yanking your chain. I can see that most of the stuff on top of that MES is just sawdust and not really dirt dirt.

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Can't speak for the analog MES 30" but I can tell you that you should never have so much smoke that it is bellowing out (that promotes the build up of all that yucky black stuff on the inside walls of your smoker and on your food). You never want more that a thin blue wisp of smoke. I would...

    Anyone use wood pellets in their MES?

    First off, snowjoker, what size smoke tray does yours have? This would be the part that the chips get dumped into when you turn the chip loader 180 degrees (the chip loader is the part that you  pull out the side of the unit, load with chips, insert back into the side of the unit and turn half...

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    I too would suggest putting water or some other liquid in the pan for long smokes. I also would suggest adding some type of liquid, either in the form of a BBQ sauce or mop or juice, inside the foil when you wrap it. As far as final temp. goes, if you want to have sliced pork butt don't cook it...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I think, if you watch the video that BearCarver provided in post #258 of this thread (one or two pages back), you will be able to see the difference in the two. If yours is the size tray that they take out (the tray is about the size of the palm of your hand) and not the one that they install as...

    Custom Smoker Build - Categorized

    Read both your Ham link thread and your Smokehouse link thread. Great build for an all wood (basically) smoker. Loved your Ham thread so much it makes me want to pack up and move close to you and become your best friend neighbor so that I can be invited to some of those ham or turkey dinners...

    Pellets in AMNS?

    Has anyone tried using A-MAZE-N PELLETS in there old AMNS? I was just wondering. I have the older AMNS and plan to mostly use it for cold smoking stuff like cheese, nuts, salts/spices and the likes. But, was wondering if the pellets would work in the old AMNS for doing some hot smoking. I don't...

    The "amnps" stands for the A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker. It is a smoke generator that you use A-Maze-N Pellets in to give you a great, long smoking, smoke. It is a tray that has a MAZE built into it that after loading with pellets and lighting an end (or both if you want more smoke but less time) will...

    I think, if you watch the video that BearCarver provided in post #258 of this thread (one page back) you will see that the new one does hang further down than the old one and in the video he actually pushed down the heating element a little when first installing it into the smoker. This also...

    Why don't they send you a new chip loader as well? They give you this new tray that will hold more chips but make you still use the same little section that is no wider that the old, small chip tray to load your chips with! Has anybody removed any of the cover on the loader to allow more spread...

    Is that just all wood? Is there any metal in there at all (other than the latch clamps, handles and hinges that is)?

    What do you guys do when you are having troubles getting your AMazeNSmoker going?

    Is that a bad thing? Not the caught on fire in the microwave part but the whole house smelling like smoke for days part. In my old hippy dippy days I used to burn and incense called "Campfire Memories" that smelled just  like a campfire. I loved it! It seems that  Hickory or Mesquite would be...

    cleaning your mes 30?

    If the ammonia has permeated the insulation or got into the nooks and crannies, I wonder it it will affect the taste or quality of the food the next time you smoke?

    I never said anything about wireless. No, this is like the one that I have and love. It is without the window or the built in meat probe, internal light or any other fancy bells and whistles. Other than that you be the judge. Here is the link...
