    Is it still a MES

    Well i just pulled a slab of ribs off the smoker. This mailbox mod has exceeded my expactations. After a 6 hr smoke with an internal temp of 185 look at the color of these ribs. Before with the chip loader they would look like a chunk of coal. With the pid controller and the mailbox mod with the...

    MES 30" Temperature Zones Part 2 of 2

    A few years. This is my second one. I do wipe it down and wash the racks and redo all the tin foil every time i use it. Have ribs on now. Not believing the difference in color of these using the mailbox mod and tray. Only thing i can figure is using the chip tray the smoke is inconsistent and i...

    Is it still a MES

    Thanks for the foil tip. I will make sure there is none on the bottom of the stone. It is supported about 2" above the element on the rack that used to support the chip loader. Going to test it out this weekend. Hope this clean smoke will give the meat more of a Smokey flavor and turn out ribs...

    Here is how the setup looks now. I have a pizza stone over the element as a grease shield and heat sink.

    Is it still a MES

    Ok Last night tested the smoker box. Ran all night with no problems. Wanted to check it out and season it before hooking it up to the smoker. Just wondering if this is the right amount of smoke? You can't really see any smoke in the picture but it is smoking. I have the damper about 3/4 closed...

    12 hrs later and it is still smoking. I closed the damper down ti about a quarter open. Guess that AMPNS tray really works. I will open it up when it gets daylight and see how much of the tray has burned

    Doing a test. Please look at the volume of smoke coming out of the chimney. This is with the damper wide open. I expect when it is hooked up to the smoker and the heat in the smoker is rising out the smoker damper the draw will increase. Just asking opinions on the volume of smoke. This is...

    Pid controller

    As you can see i drilled out the back rivits and put the back on with 3/4" #10 machine screws. All wiring is concealed. All original wiring and electronics was removed. I wired up the pid controller according to the enclosed instructions. Simple as pie and works better than original by a long...

    PID sale?

    I used a different one but that one should work just fine. Nothing to wiring one up once you take the back off the smoker. There is a circuit board under the smoker where the chord goes in. I took out the circuit board and used that for a junction box for my power. Used some high temp...

    What flavor of todd's pellets

    I was just being humorous. I was wondering if i would see a clear winner from all you experts. What i see is like me you use different woods with different meat. I am going to get the package deal with some of all of it. We will see how that goes. If i pick a clear favorite

    What flavor of todd's pellets

    You aren't helping guys. No clear choices here. Maybe the best path is one of his package deals with 4 2# packages of different wood and try them. How many smokes do you get out of 2 lbs of pellets?
