    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Yea. I did 3 hours with no foil then 2 hours with foil then I took the foil off and planned on cooking them another hour but at the end of that hour they still weren't to temperature so I continued to cook them until they reached temp and that was an additional 2 hours. So in total they cooked...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Thanks for all the answers guys! To answer your questions I did the 3-2-1 method with my ribs (except I added an extra 2 hours at the end because they still weren't to temperature). I set my MES to 225 but my maverick was showing it was actually running around 230. I also did take the membrane...

    3-2-1 method with AMNPS

    I finally got a chance to use my smokers. It was a really long day because I had to preseason them first and then decided to try them out. I did spare ribs in one and chicken legs/wings in the other. They both took a lot longer than I had anticipated. I had read that the chicken should only take...

    I finally got a chance to use my smokers today! I'll tell you what, it was a long ass day lol. I got up at 6am was at the butcher at 7 when they opened and am just now finishing cleaning everything. I preseasoned my smokers today too and after I finished preseasoning them I did spare ribs in one...

    3-2-1 method with AMNPS

    Thanks for the insight guys! I'll smoke them doing the 3-2-1 method but take the AMNPS out after the first 3 hours. Does the same rules apply to Boston Butts? I know they take 10-12 hours to cook and some people wrap them as well but I'm not sure exactly how long they need to cook for until they...

    3-2-1 method with AMNPS

    I've read on here with the 3-2-1 method that you're only supposed to use smoke for the first 3 hours. Does this apply with the AMNPS? I'm brand new to smoking and just ordered an AMNPS. I plan on trying to smoke some ribs this weekend. I have a Bluetooth MES 40 smoker if that matters. I just...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I'm hoping to have a chance to put my smokers together today. I'm also hoping to season them if I have time. I haven't had a chance to look at the instructions on how to do so yet, but I'm assuming since I have the AMNPS my instructions will be different and I'll have to season the AMNPS as...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Does this configuration work over the water pan and heat element? It looks like it'd be a great idea but I've also read on here by some people who say you should have the AMNPS overtop the water pan and heat element. I haven't had a chance to set my smoker up yet I'm hoping to do it this weekend...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I picked up the Bernzomatic 8000 today with a $50 Lowes Gift card I had. I also bought my 2nd MES 40 today from Sams since yesterday I couldn't fit both in my car. My AMNPS's should arrive sometime this week as well as the pellets and other gadgets I bought from Amazon. Hopefully during the week...

    Out of curiousity is there a reason I shouldn't use the Map gas if I get the Bernzomatic 8000 or is that just personal preference for you?

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I picked up 1 MES 49 from Sams today. I'm going to get another one tomorrow. I have a few gift cards that I didn't know what to do with and Sams Club said they would accept them so it works out great for me. I also ordered 2 AMNPS's from Todd as well as some pellets. I found a cheap heat gun on...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm definately going to get the one from Sams Club. I really don't have the extra cash to get 2, but I'm having a big party with 75 people or more that I will have to feed and I just don't think a single MES 40 would be able to hold enough food that I have to cook...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Thanks for the insight. Speaking of probes do you guys recommend a certain one? I saw mention of the Maverick 733. Is that the one I should get or would I be better off with something else? Also if I get 2 MES 40's that means I also have to get two seperate probes as well right? Thanks again for...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Thank you! That's exactly what I wanted to hear because I'll most likely buying 2 of them and didn't want to spend the extra money at Bass Pro if the one at Sams was the same size.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Thank you for your insight. I'm not sure which 40 inch smoker to get- the 6 rack or 4 rack. I know Sams Club has the bluetooth 4 rack with the black coating on the outside for $329 which is over $100 cheaper than what Bass Pro has but bass pro says it's stainless and has 6 racks. The thing I...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Thank you. I will get the AMNPS then. How many racks of ribs would you say the 40 can cook at one time? I usually get the spare ribs at Sams Club but I buy some St. Louis style ones once in a while. All your guys insight is greatly appreciated. Can anyone shed some light on the other questions I...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Hey everyone. I'm brand new to this forum and discovered this thread last night. Thank you all for the insight on the bluetooth 2.5 MES 40. I was on the fence about getting one because I heard such bad reviews on the gen 2, but due to everyones experience with the 2.5 I absolutely am getting...
