    MES Mailbox Mod! for use with AMNPS

    I'm actually very happy with the performance of the mailbox mod and thank you DaveOmak for all the instructions on how to build it. I was just wondering about the impact on smoke of more or less oxygen with the control of vent holes.

    New mes30 owner, first smoke issues

    The new MES 30 2.5 does not have the twin rails or much space between the left wall and the heating elements. The AMNPS barely fits in this position and when you push it in there, the right side of the AMNPS is right next to the heating element.

    MES Mailbox Mod! for use with AMNPS

    I did my first test smoke with the MES mailbox mod and AMNPS today. I ran it 6 hours. It burned through the first two rows of pellets and the beginning of the third. It seem to be smoking a little too fast. What's the best way to slow down the burn/smoke? Cover more of the holes? I did drill 3...

    From what I've read with the mailbox mod you can leave the chip tray in, but pulled out a couple of inches. I'm doing this right now with a test smoke on my mailbox mod, and it seems to work fine.

    Bro's MES 30 2.5 Mailbox Mod

    Fired up my mailbox mod for test run. Threw some apple chicken sausage in for lunch. So far very happy with me mod. Still need to figure out how to fine tune smoke output with vent holes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    From what I've read on SMF, galvanized ductwork is not an issue due to the low heat in smoking process.

    A 3" elbow duct will fit in the chip loader hole. If you are using 4" ducting, you can find a reducer adapter from 4" to 3" to connect to MES. If your 30" MES came with the Masterbuilt stand, attaching the box to the side is easy. I attached two aluminum channel rails with u-bolts to the bottom...

    Santa Wanted Some "Q"

    Yes, lots of good tips and tricks on SMF. As with anything it just takes practice and experience to get it down. I did go through all the hints and tricks to get my AMNPS to work inside the MES 30 before I concluded the mailbox mod was the best way to go. The one tip I did not use for the AMNPS...

    Jeff, same thing happened to me with my new MES 30 and the AMNPS. The problem is the AMNPS in the MES 30 sits to close to the heating element. The heating element burnt up the right two rows of pellets in the first 2 hours. Here's a picture: So the last two days, I've added a mailbox mod to...

    Santa Wanted Some "Q"

    Santa came a week earlier for me with a MES 30 digital. I did get an AMNPS, but got poor results with it inside the MES 30. There is not much room for it at the bottom left inside the smoker and the AMNPS is too close to the heating element. The result was the entire right two rows of pellets...

    Bro's MES 30 2.5 Mailbox Mod

    I've been working on a mailbox mod for my MES 30 2.5 today. I got all the mods made to the mailbox (thanks to all the information here). I need some expert advice on the duct connections to the MES.  Most of the MES mailbox mods I've seen on SMF show the 90 degree duct connecting to the MES...
