    I will NOT give up on my AMZNPS !

    Yes. Everything is just as it was except the removable parts. I put them on a shelf incase I want to put it back the way it was, but I'm sure I won't. The slanted drip pan is still in the smoker and covered with foil.  I'm not sure if it is needed, maybe not. Experimentation will tell.  I just...

    I will NOT give up on my AMZNPS !

    Absolutely no cutting or anything to the smoker , other than 3 small sheet metal screws to hold bracket. Can be put back to original factory condition in minutes. The chip box just slides out.  I have made a wooden cart for my smoker with a 3 sided  wind breaker. (We have some pretty tough...

    I will NOT give up on my AMZNPS !

    I have a MES 40 new gen.   After reading many things on this forum, I decided to do the mailbox modification. I started out with the flexible tubing (for dryer) and set the mailbox on a brick on the ground.  I didn't like the idea of bending over to check on the AMNPS, so I put a shelf bracket...

    New to MES 30

    No problems with that yet. I think the hardware store will have a cabinet latch to replace the whole  thing. That's the route I would take. Should be an easy fix. Good luck.  Dave

    New to MES 30

    Check out the mailbox mod.with the search bar.    I did it to my MES 40 and I love it.  A $15 alluminum mailbox from Menards and a short piece of 3" dryer vent tube. I removed the chip loader tube and the chip box completely. The vent tube fit perfectly in the loader hole. This mod lets you...

    Temperature control

    The Auberins is a great addition to my MES 40.    Worth the money for me.

    Need help with a Masterbuilt 30" smoker, doesn't work!

    I like the meat probe for the programming to turn off or hold temp when the meat has IT temperature for foiling etc. For me that comes in handy.

    Need help with a Masterbuilt 30" smoker, doesn't work!

    Geerock you are exactly right. It's been a couple of months since I set this up and I remember now that AFTER the autotune, I put the food probes in the water for a dry run verifying the temp readings. Thankyou for correcting me.  I guess my memory isn't what it used to be! During the autotune...

    Need help with a Masterbuilt 30" smoker, doesn't work!

    Also as Geerock said, you can get a unit with only a chamber probe, and use a remote therm such as a Maverick for your meat temp monitoring.

    Need help with a Masterbuilt 30" smoker, doesn't work!

    I bought the WSD 1503 CPH with dual probes.  1800 watt.  My element is 1200 watt, so this has more than enough power. You may be able to use a smaller one for your wattage. Disconnect the 2 existing wires and ground wire from the element, and put wire nuts or black tape on them and just tuck...

    Need help with a Masterbuilt 30" smoker, doesn't work!

    I have a 4 mo. old MES 40" gen 2. I live in WI where the winters are brutal sometimes.  I didn't want this to stop me, so after reading all the problems others are having, and reading information on this forum, I ordered the Auber Instruments P.I.D. controller to fit my element.  This is...

    Northern Illinois. Where to find Select Untrimmed Briskett?

    I never looked at price per #.  My son wanted me to smoke a brisket no matter what!  I was buying pork loins and butts also, and really never paid any attention to it.  But I'm sure a phone call to the meat dep't of that store could answer your question.

    Northern Illinois. Where to find Select Untrimmed Briskett?

    I live on the WI border and shop at the Rockford Sam's Club. They always have whole untrimmed brisket there. I bought one there a couple of weeks ago. I don't remember seeing "choice" on the packaging, but it was a very good piece of meat. Probably was a "select" grading. I cooked the flat and...
