    My take on the Mailbox Mod for the MES 30

    My mailbox was from Home Depot and is aluminum.   It is painted on the outside but I am not sure about what galvanized aluminum is.   Aluminum is non-ferrous so is inherently corrosion resistant so I am not sure why anyone would want to coat it with zinc (galvanize). With respect to "smoke...

    My take on the Mailbox Mod for the MES 30

    Greetings, Here are some pictures of my take on the mailbox mod.   I have not been able to try it out yet - that is coming this weekend.   I tried to make it so I could use the mailbox or the regular chip loader depending on what I am doing - although I will probably use the mailbox the vast...

    AMNPS Problem in MES 30

    After sleeping on it I think that the external mod will be the way to go.   I think that there are fewer variables to control in the external mod than inside (drippings, humidity, combustion air control, etc).    Thanks Tom

    AMNPS Problem in MES 30

    Thanks Bear - do you think that the heat transfer is radiant and that an aluminum sheet will fix it?   I thought it might have been conductive although the appearance of the charring across the entire row tell me that you may be right. Perhaps rather than doing a full mailbox mod I should do an...

    AMNPS Problem in MES 30

    Wow - that is interesting.   I wonder why mine is getting so much hotter?   I was running the temp at 225 but that is my typical temperature.

    I am in my inaugural use of me new AMNPS pellet tray with my MES30 and I am having a problem.   I am able to get the AMNPS started fine using my torch and by following the great instructions found in this forum.   I placed the  tray on the bottom left on the two small bars just to the left of...

    How much air space is needed around meat to get good smoke?

    Thanks - my challenge is that my cuts of shoulder are too fat to fit between the space on the MES 30.   I also want to keep them on the same rack so I can place my Maverick probe on that rack.

    How much air space is needed around meat to get good smoke?

    Greetings, I am preparing to smoke a large (14lb) pork shoulder that I cut in half to reduce the cooking time.   I have a lot of people showing up tomorrow and the food is supposed to be on the table by 2PM so I don't want a 28 hour smoke. My question is how much air space should be around...

    Hog Processing Tips Needed

    Greetings, A friend of mine and I have been raising a few hogs this summer (my first) and I was wondering if anyone had any tips as to the  pros and cons of different ways of having a hog packed by the butcher.   The local guy we are using does not smoke anything (bacon,ham) although there is...

    First pork butt in my new MES 30

    I am not sure - it was just purchased last month so it should be the most recent version.   What is the difference? Tom

    Interesting article on the origins of barbecue from The Smithsonian

    Well if you go to the smithsonian  and look in the food section you will see the article.   Sure would be easier to post a link but I can understand the need to keep spam and offensive links off the site. Tom
