    AMNPS and dust

    I am thinking of cold smoking some cheese. I have a MES30 and will use the AMNPS in a mailbox mod. Will the AMNPS with dust stay lit without the MES being on? Is there some kind of draft needed? I though someone on this forum had trouble with pellets staying lit without the MES being on. Thanks

    Amazen Dust Storage

    Was curious how others store the sawdust from Amazen. What kind of container do you use? I have several 1lb bags and would like to put them in something that is easy to dispense to the AMNPS. I went to The Container Store but didn't see anything that really appealed to me. Thanks..

    Amazen Dust

    Was wondering how much dust it takes to fill the AMNPS maze? I don't want to buy a large amount (4lb) this time until I am certain it is what I want. Will 1lb fill the maze? Just bought a pork belly from Sam's Club and will use the maze and dust in the MES30 or the mailbox to make some bacon...

    Faux Burnt Ends

    Thought I would try my hand at faux burnt ends with a 3.7 lb chuck roast. Smoked it at 170 degree for an hour and then upped it to 240 degrees. Chuck roast must have had a lot of connective tissue or marbling because after 8 hours it was only at 175 degree IT. So I took it in the house in our...

    Pelletheads

    Anyone here know anything about the pelletheads.com forum? I registered 16 days ago and still have not been approved. If I try to log in, I just get a message that I have not been approved yet. I have not received any emails or anything. Just silence. I did look in my spam folder too. Nothing...

    Getting ready to wrap the butt

    Pork butt is at 192 and getting ready to wrap it and put it in a cooler. Set GMG to 225 degree at 11pm and put the 8 lb butt in. Woke up at 8am and inserted the temp probe and it was 160. 15 hours total and it was at 192 degrees. I know each one is different and the time seems reasonable...

    New to pellet grills/smokers

    Hello from Iowa. I just got back from purchasing a Green Mountain Daniel Boone grill. Not the WIFI version. Dealer and I agree it was not worth the added cost. Got it for $549 plus he threw in a 28lb bag of Texas blend pellets and a $10 pack of various rubs. I have a electric Masterbuilt 30, but...

    Temp adjustments during smoking

    Was curious how to handle drops in temperature when cold meat is introduced to the MES 30 Gen 1 smoker. I smoked a 7 pound bone in turkey breast. Smoker temp was 230. Adding the turkey dropped it to the 190 range and it did not rise over 220 for several hours. At 5 hours the internal temp was...

    Questions on MES30 and mailbox mod

    For those with the MES 30 that have done the mailbox mod. Is the 3 inch, 26 gauge elbow the correct one? http://www.homedepot.com/p/3-in-26-Gauge-90-Degree-Round-Adjustable-Elbow-26B90E3/100113133 Did you make any modifications to the MES where the elbow goes in? It looks like only one inch...

    Maverick placement in MES

    I was curious where others place their Maverick probe in the MES. I typically place food on the second rack of the MES 30. I have the Maverick either on the same rack as the meat or the 1st rack. But the cold temperature of the meat really throws off the accuracy of the Maverick. I have tried...

    First Successful Smoke

    After getting advice from Bear on managing temperature, I had a successful day smoking 2 Cornish Game Hens. Hopefully the picture is attached correctly. Great tenderness and juicy, nice smoke flavor. The wife thought they tasted great. A couple of observations..Jeff's rub recipe is a little...

    I don't understand these temperature variances

    I programmed the MES to 215. When it reached 215 and shutoff, the Maverick was 248. That is a 33 degree difference between the smoker and the Maverick. After shutoff, the temperature continued to rise to 249( an additional 34 degrees), the Maverick 286. That is a 37 degree difference. So what...

    1st Turkey smoke didn't work out

    Not sure what I did wrong. 11 pound turkey brined for 12 hours. Took it out of the fridge and put it in a 250 degree MES 30 and 3 different probes said the breasts were 150 degrees after 1 hour, thighs were 129. I had planned on a 5 hour smoke, but this allegedly was done under 2. How in the...

    How do you router your meat probes on a Masterbuilt

    Curious as to how you route the wire for your meat probe on a Masterbuilt 30. Do you route it down through the top vent? Or do run it out the door? Wouldn't running it out the door break the seal? Just seasoned my smoker today and hope to smoke a turkey Saturday. Thanks, Tracy

    Vent question

    Good Evening, I just received my very first smoker, Masterbuilt 30 inch electric model. I was curious about the top vent. It seems like it does not close completely. It looks like a tab prevents it from closing all the way. Is this normal and will this cause any quality problems? Hope to get it...
