    Pellet grill in apartment

    I hope people will smell it before they see it. And when they smell it. They will know- thats the smell of a professional BBQ. And therefore will NOT report it. Even if I have to bribe a couple people with a snack or two... lol

    First time attempt: full packer MES 30 w/ window

(scooping the top layer only? Change out all of it? How often? 3.have you noticed any difference in the...

    First time attempt: full packer MES 30 w/ window

    At 16 hours in - my temps froze at 196 on the flat and 190 on the point. 4 hours of sitting in the smoker and the IT on the flat only rose 2 degrees. It rained outside and I'm sure there was a drastic climate drop outside my smoker but it didn't show any lower smoker temps . I decided to...

    First time attempt: full packer MES 30 w/ window

    After a kind prompting from my alarm, I got me out of bed and started the cook setup- Pulled the meat from the fridge put a couple of the smoker grates onto my propane grill and got em nice and charred - scraped em with a wire brush and rinsed em off after Since I'm doing both parts of the...

    First time attempt: full packer MES 30 w/ window

    Seasoned up a full packer brisket 14 and a quarter lbs- cut the point off the flat (not my best knife work) wrapped it up and It's in the fridge- in a few hours I will start up the MES and go for my first ever attempt. I will add posts and pics as the cook progresses. Join me on my adventure!

    When you say tray - i take it you are referring to an AMNPS? If so i would assume the bottom works just fine -as i always see it there in pics from other users all over the place

    I went and took that little screw out- amnps slides right in easy peasy now- doing a pellet run and a single rack of ribs to share with the wife when she gets home from work. Had to take a ........sick day....so i find the smoke to have healing properties :)

    So you did it to both sides? Your first post said one side. Im guessing you mean along the top edges then, and not so much along the base/bottom- (just to clarify)

    starting fires and learning the hard way

    That sounds interesting Texas Jason, my pellets are brand new in a sealed bag i got from cookinpellets.com, and here in new mex its super dry climate so im not too concerned with moisture. As far as your amnps id love to see pictures to get an idea how far / which directions you have bent it- i...

    So 275 with the amnps in the above position hasnt created issues with flare-ups for you in the MES 30? Thats great info for if i wanna cook at higher temp- im guessing it would be an issue in the lower position. Im gonna keep experimenting and ill post an update as soon as i get a chance.

    Hey foam, in that post you linked you said you smoked your bird at 275- was that with an amnps? If so im guessing utilizing the rack position u showed in your second photo?
