    Bacon Beta Version

    Too salty...oh and where did that little piece go? Into cold water to soak. Should I put it in the fridge too? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

    Padawan Smoker from Amish Country, Indiana

    Welcome from a fellow Hoosier!  Sounds like you may be getting some help from Mr. Ramsey which is always a good thing (emergency fund). I have a Performer and love it.  You can smoke on that pretty easily.  Ribs and Chicken especially but I've had friends do pork butts on their 22.5" kettle.

    Starting the AMNPS

    +1 for a propane torch. Todd sells one on the amazenproducts.com site but you can also pick one up at most local hardware stores in the plumbing section.  It just screws on a small bottle of propane.

    MES 30 vs MES 40

    I had the same discussion in my head when I bought my MES 40" a few weeks ago.  I actually bought the smaller unit got it home and took it right back the next day without even opening the box.  I've been doing this awhile but nothing with an electric smoker.  I wanted to have the smoker that...

    Brand new to smoking

    Welcome Bart! I started off back in 2007 on this forum in the same situation.  I got an early Father's Day present from my wife and kids and it was a propane smoker. It was so easy to use and immediately got me hooked.  Just season it well and go light on the smoke for your first few times and...

    Help a novice please!!!!

    I've never really worried about the smoke leaking around the doors of my smokers unless I also notice the temperature fluctuating too much. You could get an oven door seal and put that around the inside of the door I suppose but only if you're having temperature control issues.

    Rib rack info needed

    Dustin I found one at a local Meijer store that fit the bill.  It's a rib roast / rib rack.  I had 2 sets of the Weber rib racks and they offered little support.  I forget the brand name and am still trying to find it online. I'll see what I can find.  I would say if you're making your own make...

    It's On Like Donkey Kong

    So my AMNPS got here today!!! I got the MES 40" put together and cleaned out. I put the AMNPS into the smoker and am in the process of seasoning now! I found some posts on where people place their AMNPS but for the life of me cannot find pics.  If someone can point me to posts that show some...

    First post, ordered AMNPS

    Unfortunately it's temporarily out of stock but the MES 40" is 314 on Amazon and I think if you sign up for a trial of Amazon Prime you'll get 2 day shipping free. And I agree with the folks above.  Don't replace the old smoker.  I just got my AMNPS today.  I'm seasoning as I type this.

    Just Ordered my AMNPS!

    Just in time for Father's Day!  My wife was going to try to get it as a surprise but wanted me to get exactly what I wanted so I ordered it today. It should be here in perfect time to season it and my new MES 40" at the same time! Thanks to Todd for the easy ordering process!

    wsm 22.5 and bbq guru

    FPNMF thanks for the tip on the can.  I'll have to try that. What I find is that as the coals burn down the fire gets harder and harder to control with or without the temp control units. With the risk of hijacking this thread, I think if I can figure that out I'd be golden. With all of that...

    wsm 22.5 and bbq guru

    I have had a heck of a time with the Stoker I bought last year.  Part of it is because I haven't had a chance to play with it as much as I'd like but I have had similar results. Closing down all the vents except for the top exhaust helped out but I still had wild fluctuations and seemed to burn...

    BGE vs WSM???

    If you want versatility then buy a WSM and a Weber Performer.  You have 2 pieces of equipment but you'll probably still be in for less than you'd pay for a BGE.  That's my current setup and I love it.  Not to dish on BGEs but man the price is hard to justify when I can put out the same quality...
