    Newbie with a AMNS question?

    Welcome to the forum Vandy! Several folks here use an AMNPS with their MES with great success. Some use them inside the smoker, and a few have developed a clever mod that moves the AMNPS outside the smoke chamber (search for "MES mailbox mod"). Either way you'll find all the help you need here.

    Electric Smoker in the rain

    Hey Booger. It's hard to give a good answer until we know what kind of smoker you bought. Water probably won't hurt the cabinet on any electric unit, other than having a cooling effect and making it harder to maintain temp. But even so I certainly would not let any amount of water get into the...

    MES 40" question

    Hey Gusto (love that screen name, by the way )... Yes it is very normal for an electric smoker's temp to fluctuate. Rather that producing a steady amount of heat, like gas or wood/charcoal, most electrics control temp by cycling the heat element from 100% on to completely off. The amount of...

    New from NC

    Welcome neighbor! Congrats on your first butt. I look forward to seeing pics of the brisket. If you get tired of adding wood chips check out posts on the AMNPS mailbox mod for the MES. Good luck on tomorrow's smoke!

    My first salmon trial (AKhap method) with QView

    Very impressive kgn1! That salmon looks perfect. I've been smoking for a few years but mostly the more 'common' things like butts & ribs. Been wanting to move on to more imaginative foods but I've been hung up on perfecting my smoker instead. Seeing your awesome job on the salmon is very...

    Cajun Injector as a gift

    Welcome to the forum amjchf! I agree... that's an awesome neighbor! Since you're not familiar with hot smoking my suggestion would be use the Cajun Smoker for a while. Once you have some experience with it you'll be able to make a more informed decision on exactly what you want for an upgrade...

    Another AMNPS-MES Question

    Have you tried putting it in the MES and leaving the door ajar, just for testing purposes? My guess is that the AMNPS isn't getting enough oxygen to keep the pellets going. If it stays lit sitting outside the smoker, or inside with the door partly open, you will know the problem is not your...

    hang a 30# pig in my mes 40

    Sounds like good advice from Bear. I'd love to do a whole piglet some day just for the experience, but I doubt that I'd be brave enough to try my first one for a big gathering. Gotta say though I kinda hope you do so we can see how it goes.
