    How easily should pellets burn in AMNPS?

    Red I checked out your post and pictures after you commented on mine and I noticed that you don't have any holes drilled on the side where the vent tube is. I suggest putting a couple small ones on that side to increase the draft in the box. I have 4 about the diameter of a pen on each side of...

    My take on the mailbox mod

    Thanks I know it probably wouldn't cause any problems but since I had a no risk option that was just as cheap I went that route instead.

    My take on the mailbox mod

    Here is the link to the mailbox I ordered. I did find that I had to leave the vent on top at least half way open and the drip pan pulled part way out to get a good draft. I did 4 holes on each end of the box but not sure what size the bit was (3/8th maybe?) and I had no problems keeping the...

    My take on the mailbox mod

    Well I couldn't find any cheap mailboxes that weren't galvanized steel and decided to play it safe and just get a cheap metal toolbox instead. My other dilemma was that my Home Depot only had 4" tubing but that was quickly solved by a reducer on each end. A big thanks to the person that posted...

    First cheese cold smoke

    Thanks everyone. The cheese was a big hit at the party. One of the guys grabbed a couple slices to put on his burger and then everybody else followed suit. MMMMM smoked gouda on a burger

    First cheese cold smoke

    Used my AMPS with cherry pellets in main chamber of my offset stick smoker for about 3 1/2 hours. Got the pepper jack a little too close at one point and it melted a bit but I just put that side on the bottom LOL. Pretty happy with the first attempt. There is Gouda, yellow cheddar, Colby jack...

    Where to set up my smoker

    Ok I'll be sure to leave plenty of space behind when I have it running. Thanks for the responses. I'll post some pictures once I get the tool box mod done and everything set up.

    Where to set up my smoker

    I am new to smoking and just got a MES 40 inch gen 2.5 electric smoker. I used to use an offset stick burner. The instructions seem pretty adamant that you must run this outside and at least 10 ft from any overhang, walls or wooden railings. We have a small side porch where the front door used...

    To clean or not to clean

    Thanks Jimmy that's what I was thinking but didn't want to take a chance on messing up my smoker.

    To clean or not to clean

    I am pretty new to smoking and just got a MES 40" electric smoker. With my old offset stick smoker I just brushed off the grates and vacuumed out the dust and I was ready to go for the next smoke. The instructions with MES say that I should pull all the racks out and basically scrub it clean...
