    1st smoke - "BloodBath's Big Bird" 17lb Turkey

    Thanks guys.  I took out the gravy cause it was just slowing me down too much.  I put it on and the IT is 151.  Going slower than I had hoped. Set the smoker  to 250

    4 hrs in ....IT 147 Still concerned that the very top is black.  Should I cover it foil?  or perhaps put that botton water pan above it to block some heat? OR does it look ok to you?

    OK Pic 2. Added a gravy pan (with throw away foil pan on top), replaced onions with hickory chips.  Top too dark?

    I put them in the tray that the wood chips go in.  I am using AMNPS for the primary smoke.  Yes they burn up in there just like wood chips do.  They are there just to create flavor in your pit/smoker.  I put onion on the fire for every BBQ I do.

    New MES 30 setup and seasoning

    I set up my MES 30  and put in my AMNPS & Maverick ET 732.  Here is what it looked like: When the smoker reached 275, the Maverick read 282, 285.  That was actually better than I expected! I placed the transmitter on a rib rack just to be safe.  I later saw that I could placed it on top of...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Just "assembled" my mes 30. My maverick and AMNPS will be in on Friday.  I put "assembled" in quotes cause there wasn't hardly any assembly needed really.
