    I’m over thinking this

    Hello guys and gals. Been smoking on my Akron for quite some time now, but I wanted to work hard to smoke two butts right at 225 this time. Never been able to hold that temp before. My probe is unshielded from the indirect stone above the coals and I was actually able to get my temps settled at...

    Another “pit goes out” thread 🤕

    Hope all are doing well. I’ll get to the point today, my Akorn was chugging along at 225-227 for 40 minutes on my last cook (preheating before adding meat). I know the consensus is to not adjust vents once meat is added and temp will come back up, but my fire is going out. It’s like when I’m...

    Smoking St.’s

    Hello all, I don’t log in much but I keep up with you fellas. Lot of interesting things going on and I finally found time to throw some meat on the smoke after buying my first home and changing careers. Have two racks of St Louis in right now, needing them done in less time that I feel I can...

    Smoker temp drop question

    Hello again all. I’ll try to keep this brief and to the point. I’m aware there are tons of threads on the Akorn about temperature control but I am struggling to find the answer to a specific question. If someone could link me to a thread already about this that would be awesome. Put my butt...

    Wings on the akorn

    Hello all. I can’t remember what got me fired up to do wings today, but something did and I gave them my first shot on the akorn. Got one pack of the “wingetes” that were broken down and one pack of whole wings. I sprayed them with a light coat of Pam, and dusted with Tony C’s and some...

    Catastrophe strikes

    RIP to my 1 year old MES 30. Decided to smoke a butt today but it went exactly opposite of how it should. Long story short, every row of pellets caught on fire, and when I try to pull the amzn out my grease catch pan caught on fire...all down hill from there. Melted my smoker something bad but...

    Smoked deer tenderloin

    hello all! It’s been a while, I creep around quite a bit but haven’t smoked in a coons age. Been working like a dog and trying to hunt here and there. Killed a small doe a few weeks ago and got around to smoking a backstrap and tenderloin today. Used a store bought rub that is garbage, used...

    Mailbox mod with water pan?

    Hey guys, I haven’t posted in a while, nor have I smoked much more than a couple of rib racks, but I read a lot and had thrown the idea of a mailbox mod for my MES. Now I should preface this by saying I’ve never had an issue with bitter flavor from my amazen but I read where some had. I also...

    2nd smoke: baby backs(few pics as I go)

    Hello again all, I haven’t posted any, outside of my first smoke thread, but I’ve been obsessed with stalking the forum. Today I’ve got some hickory chips instead of the pellets i was using and i read on here to try 3-5 chips at a time (if you have time to babysit and keep refueling) to...

    Another Glutton for Punishment

    Hello all, As the title states, I just had to take up smoking as a new hobbie (as if hunting and fishing aren’t costly and time consuming enough) yet i know nothing about it. I’ve done a lot of reading on here and had to join because, per usual, this newbie is going to have a ton of...
