    AMNPS burning too quickly?

    Second smoke with AMNPS in a Masterbuilt 130. I’m 3 hours in and 2 of 3 rows of pellets are nearly burned through (pellets that came with it when I ordered). The smoke was light for 2 hours but the last hour or so has gotten pretty heavy. Pellets are not on fire and temp has stayed at 250*. I...

    I have a 130 MES and got an AMNPS. I thought it would go on the bottom tray but doesn’t fit?

    Just seasoned my new MES 130

    Been a while since I had a smoker, picked up a MES 130 and seasoned it today. I've read a lot of posts here, I was surprised how much smoke it produced using chips, as well as the temperature being accurate. The temp of the probe matched the temp of the smoker which matched 2 separate...

    Masterbuilt Pro MES 130B vs non pro?

    HD has non pro MES 130B ship to home for $168 or the pro version in store for $249. I'm looking for differences but haven't come up with much. Thoughts?

    Pulled pork with time constraints-best way?

    I work as a firefighter and bring in my smoker on weekends. I can usually get the butt in by 8:30 and we try to eat by 6. In my experience, this is not long enough to get a 5-6# butt up to 205* when the smoker is at 220*, so in the past I've ended up pulling and foiling it at 3 p.m, finishing...

    Walmart wood, can't get it to smoke?

    I purchased a big bag of Mesquite and Hickory chunks @ Walmart and cannot get it to smoke. The wood I've bought at my grill supplier always smoked well. I even upped the temp today before putting the meat on to 350* and it still barely put out a wisp. I'm using a gas GOSM with an iron pan...

    Place Fatty on foil?

    I'm trying my first fatty today, rolled green peppers, onions and cheese inside. Do I need to place this on foil? It seems it may fall apart if I don't. Thx!

    Boston Butt for 10?

    How heavy a bone-in butt do I need for 10? Actually, I'll probably do a couple, instead of one big one. Thx!

    Purpose of wrapping meat?

    I see in a lot of threads that people wrap a butt in towels and put it in a cooler for an hour or longer. When I grill steak I let it rest to reabsorb the juices, but only for 10 mins or so. Is the idea the same, or is there another reason? Also, do you do this w/ other things, like ribs? Thx!

    Bone or no bone in butt?

    I searched and can't seem to find any info on whether a Boston Butt for pulled pork is better w/ or w/o the bone, or if it's just personal preference. Can anyone help me out with this? Thx!

    First smoke in new GOSM

    I got a GOSM for father's day last night, put it together and seasoned it yesterday. Got it hot, put in a couple Hickory chunks and it smoked for about 1 hour before needing to add more. Added a Mesquite chunk and an hour later it's still not smoking, so I added 2 more small chunks of Hickory...

    Bone or no bone for pork butt?

    I've got a pork butt going now and it is boneless. I've only done a few before, and all have had bones. I know a general rule of thumb is 1.5 hrs per pound, is that boneless or bone in? This one has been in 7.5 hours (4#) and is at 185* with a cooking temp of 220*. Thx! -Aaron

    4 hours into my first racks of ribs

    I Ã…m smoking some ribs for the first time today. My smoker is an electric, water smoker and is factory set at 210-220* (not adjustable). A quick question, I've read on this site to smoke the ribs at about 230* for a minimum of 6 hrs until they reach 170*. I'm at 4 hours and they're getting...

    How many wood chunks do I need?

    I've smoked a couple pork butts that have come out pretty good. I am using an electric smoker and use wood chunks. The chunks seem to last about an hour, therefore, I have been adding 3 chunks per hour, roughly, throughout the entire smoking process. Does this sound like a lot? I read...
