    Problem keeping AMNPS lit in MES 30"

    I've used the AMNPS in my 30" MES for probably 15 smokes (cold and hot) with dust and pellets. I've taken the chip tray out and the loader out every time with no problem of smoke extinguish before all the fuel was burned.  I do have a metal duct joint on my exhaust vent that could create the...

    Problem keeping AMNPS lit in MES 30"

    I got the pellet smoker too and Todd gave me one that fits on the bars that support the smoker box inside the unit.  Other than that I always pull out the the chip tray inside the unit as well as the chip loader from the outside and that has always seemed to work for me.  make sure you have it...

    Bologna Hot Dogs

    That recipe looks awesome and something I would love to try.  Is there a place that sells the phosphate and sodium erythorbate as well as cure #1? Or is that something you have to get online?  I've found pink salt from my local butcher but haven't ever heard of using those other ingredients.

    First Competition Chicken Wings!

    Lol I had to look up what ABT meant. I'm such a newb.  For the poppers I did a cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar and roasted red pepper mixture.  Made a T slit in the pepper and pulled out veins and seeds.  Stuffed and breaded.  Glass of milk dip and flour then rack and dry for 10 min.  Then...

    First Competition Chicken Wings!

    So I had my first informal competition wing contest yesterday for opening day of football.  It was at a local bar down the street from my house. The rules were that all cooking had to be done at the bar outside on there deck and had to be completed by the time the hawks game started (1:00).  You...

    My First Smoked Sausage

    No water added.  The spicy one had 3/4 cup of beer in it plus 5 habaneros and 8 serrano peppers that probably gave off some moisture and the bloody marry one had probably 1/4 cup of Demetri's bloody marry seasoning in it.  Cougar78 just gave me some tips on a different method of cooking that I...

    My First Smoked Sausage

    I kept the sausage hanging away from the right rear corner, as it is a known hot spot in the mes.  If you throw a 12x12 ceramic tile on top the smoke box it really helps with that issue though.  all my sausage finished very consistently. DanMcG and Nepa, thanks for the advice.  I've been doing...

    My First Smoked Sausage

    Thanks for the tip.  I've noticed that a lot of recipes that I've seen call for powdered milk.  is that my best bet to use? I'm looking for an ingredient that doesn't change flavor as much as appearance. I've heard it also makes it more juicy.

    My First Smoked Sausage

    Demitri's bloody marry mix, salt pepper, garlic powder, sun dried tomato and I believe some hot sauce.  I'm not exactly sure because my buddy seasoned that one while I did the spicy.

    My First Smoked Sausage

    This was my first attempt at smoked sausage.  I did two different recipes, the lighter one is a spicy habanero and Serrano pepper sausage.  The darker one is a bloody marry with sun dried tomato.  I slow smoked them at 155 for four hours, then pulled the amns and upped the temp to 170 for...

    Smoking Cheese In MES 30"

    Yea it fit on the bars perfectly.  Looks like it was designed specifically for that model of smoker.   The triangle rows should help from row jumping, although I am a completely new owner and only going on logic.  do you think the difference between pellets and dust will be longer or more...

    Smoking Cheese In MES 30"

    gotarace, It's a 5 3/8x8 design that Todd had just got in.  It's supposed to burn pellets as well as dust, though I've only used it with dust this one time.  I'm going to do a couple of pork butts this weekend for a dinner my girl's putting on Sunday.  Think I'll try some hickory pellets to see...
