    Keeping AMNPS going

    Hello,  I love the product, but often have difficulty getting it to continue smoking after it is started. It usually takes several re-lights after it is first going and placed into my MES 30". I've thought about maybe baking/drying the pellets in the oven for a little while first or even putting...

    Finally did my first brisket, so glad this forum exists

    I've done ribs, pork shoulder, and chicken in my MES, but had not yet attempted a brisket, until yesterday. I read through the few cookbooks I have, and spent quite a bit of time reading various posts on here to get an idea of what would work best for my first attempt. I think the research paid...

    First Real Use of My New MES 30

    I just got my MES 30 (20070411) a few weeks ago, and have only used it once for a beef chuck which I did for pulled beef sandwiches. Turned out ok, but could have been better, and I learned a number of things on here after the fact. We have a party later today, so I'm giving the smoker it's...

    How best to fit spare ribs in my MES 30"

    I've got an MES 20070411 30" smoker, and this weekend will be my first time using it to do much (did some chicken and a beef chuck roast so far). I'm planning to do some spare ribs and pork butt. It was immediately apparent to me that a full rack of ribs is too long to fit into the smoker, so...

Since it was my first time using any smoker, nevermind this particular model, it was definitely a...

    MES Faulty Door?

    I finally got my new MES 20070411 outside today to do its pre-seasoning (hoping to make some pork butt this weekend). However, I just noticed during the pre-seasoning that smoke is escaping from the hinge side of the door near the top. I looked, and indeed there is a healthy sized gap there...

    New Member, First Smoker

    This is Tom in Minnesota. Just got my first smoker, a MES 2070411. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but plan to do so this weekend. I foresee coming here frequently for information and advice as I learn more about things.

    MES Model 20070411: Questions, Manual Is Lacking

    I just got a new 30" MES Model 20070411 yesterday, and although I can figure out the basics of how to use it, the manual is awfully thin and doesn't go into much detail. One quick question I have is regarding the water tray. I'm new to smoking, but from what I've seen/read there may be times...
