4 hrs in and it's 159 in the thighs , looks and feels crispy by touch. I used the amnps with apple. Also smoking peppers onions in a pan. I'll try and get some pics of it when done. I'm cooking a 275.
Be nice to get some more input from some who has done this ! I'm getting ready to smoke in a hour or so. I've seen some YouTube videos where it looks pretty good.
I have a 8lb chicken I would like to smoke in my 40" Mes. Any ideas ? I have hickory , Apple pellets for my amnps.
Never smoked a chicken so it's all new to me.
Thanks
My only problem with amnps is burning to much ! It sometime jumps to the second and starts burning two rows at the same time. Maybe I'm filling it up to much ?
But have just left it out of the cooker to see if it'll stay lit ? Just try a row of of pellets and see if they stay lit outside of the cooker. That'll tell you if the smoker is to airtight or if something is wrong with your pellets. Or maybe your lighting technique is wrong.
Don't you think we analyze things to much instead of doing the obvious thing ? Like really getting the AMNPS going really good before putting it in ? I let mine burn a good 20 min before putting in the smoker.
I'm not going to drive myself nuts worrying about temp swings. I'm going to set it...
Yes I'm about 5 min from the Atlantic Ocean. I did 1-1/2 rows and it smoked about 4hrs. Really impressed with the nice light smoke. Really don't see how you would over smoke with this.
i just did my first cook in my MES 40bt. I did ribs in in unfoiled with the AMNPS. IT WORKED GREAT !
Cooked them for 6hrs. I started the AMNPS a charcoal starter it looks like a doughy brick , just broke a piece off stuck it on the pellets and lit it with the little torch. I let it sit outside...
