    Smoke11b, do a site search you can find lots of info here at SMF on PID,  PID from wiki.  The wiki description is very complicated.  Basically it is a digital controller that can maintain a very very accurate set temp.  It accomplishes that by sampling and with a logic circuit that can...

    cold smoked cheese with amnps on a 22.5 weber kettle.

    Congrats TheMule69, looks like you learned from your first experience and improved on your technique, the results look awesome. Regarding temp, I just did about same amount of cheese in my MES 40 with only the AMNPS cold smoking, one end lit for 2 hours.  Outside temp was in the 48-50 deg range...

    Got One

    Smoking Vic, congrats on your new MES 40,  did you get the latest version or the last years model?  The newer one has the controls in top front, the older on top in back. Make sure you are getting smoke,  some have issues with the built in wood chip smoke system generating smoke.  I can give...

    MES + AWNPS + Cheese

    I have to admit I have been strictly a meat smoker,  mostly ribs & pork butt and a few other meats, however we decided to smoke cheese and give it away to neighbors and that small token gift you give visitors and friend. I did a bunch of reading, and the most prevalent problem was too much...

    Smoke/moisture leakage

    The pre 2012 MES has the large water pan, it should always be used, and if you search my aka, I explain how to use the AWNPS with a water pan and water in it.  That water pan is intended to help stabilize the heat and produce moisture.  In addition I use a buffer withic is an aluminum cookie...

    MES 40 - Which Rack to Use?

    I use the middle two racks on my 6 year old MES 40. To deal with the heat that comes up the back wall on right hand side, I use a metal cookie sheet  covered with alum foil.  They are a lot lighter than a piece of tile which some members here use, and it works great.  In the photo below you can...

    Looking for advice - which electric smoker should I buy?

    Justin I'm not going to get in a deep comparison between the makes mentioned above, you can find out for yourself simply by reading back 10 pages of posts.  After reading then search on the models mentioned above.  No one in this forum has claimed that the MES is perfect, you can use it straight...

    Looking for advice - which electric smoker should I buy?

    Justin, base on your analysis I think you already know that the MES 40 is the best bang for buck way to go, any other electric smoker with a decent cabinet and enough size is going to cost double what the MES 40 cost.  You are right about all the so called niffty features, you are better off...

    MES Help

    I am not sure I agree with this recommendation base on one of SMF most competent & knowledgeable members Todd Johnson, owner of A-Maze-N products and creator of the AMNPS.  Read his issues with the latest 2012 Generation of MES 40 here. Those of us who have been around for the past 3-6 years...

    Maverick ET-732 after 9 months

    I luv my Mav ET-732, it really reduces the number of steps I used to walk from inside the house to outside cooking area just to check temps and or a smoke.  My normal routine is start a smoke in the MES then go inside and either watch TV or hang out on the computer, of if I have projects or...

    MES Help

    Ditto what BobbyGee said, the MES40 is best bang for buck Electric Digital Smoker made.  If there is any around with a solid door (no glass), then get it, lower maintenance, less chance of a failure later in life.  Like you I wanted more than anything to cook ribs without folding or cutting. ...

    A-MAZEN and MES Issues

    YES!,  the square opening is facing the door, it mainly is designed that way for a couple of reasons.  1st is to see what is going on inside the AWNPS quickly, 2nd it was so I could fold over the edges at the top & bottom of each half thus making it one unit.  3rd it makes it easy to take a pair...

    Ugghhh...unit wont start!

    What happens when you hit on/off?  Do you get a light?  If yes follow the instructions above set temp then time. Kitchen outlets are normally 20am circuits, drag it into the kitchen and test on a kitchen outlet.
