    I had the same problem when I first started using the AMNPS and found that my MES 40 is sealed well enough with the chip loader closed that there was not enough oxygen to keep the AMNPS burning.  I just have to pull the chip loader out 1/2" to make the AMNPS burn to the end. Also, with a...

    I've not pulled my chip tray out either.  This is good stuff guys.  I'm glad I asked as it kind of revived this oversized thread :) BTW, once I pulled out the chip loader an inch or so, my AMNPS burned to the end today.  Oxygen was my problem!  I never dreamed this smoker was so tight around...

    Thanks Bear, I'll try that next. Even though I had to relight the AMNPS5x8 a couple of times, the brisket turned out pretty tasty!

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    I have smoked ribs, a boston butt and today I'm just finishing up a brisket.  In between smokes I've been trying the different pellets flavors I got from amazin like hickory, mesquite and apple just to practice using the AMNPS5x8.  I am not having any trouble getting the pellets in the AMNPS5x8...

    It's confirmed, the Bluetooth controller and/or Android app is at fault.  The problem only happens when I am in a spotty area of the house or my property and the bluetooth connection drops/reconnects frequently.  Masterbuilt is sending me a new RF controller and remote when they are back in...

    I'm working with MB support now verifying the front controller panel works (with the app closed) then we will troubleshoot the BT functionality.  Personally, I think it's the BT module (and/or app) and if it looses BT connection, the controller may "lose" it's mind and go into some default high...

    Well, I'm sorry to say that my Sam's version of the MES 40 BT has a defective controller like others have posted.  I started it up this morning and set it to 225F for 20 hours and have watched it climb to over 300F so far at startup.  So, I pushed on the "Set temp" button on the front panel and...

    I bet you intended to start a new thread to get some responses.  You question will probably not get answered in this thread.

    Todd's site says up to 11 hours but I assume different woods burn at different rates.  I did 1 row of hickory plus a little spillover into the next row and it burned about 2-1/2 hours so that is closer to Bear's times.  I'll do a full tray tomorrow and she what happens.  It burned OK and smoked...

    Thanks Kurt. I think what is happening is I've got a Maverick 773 where it's probes as well as the meat probe of the MES 40, are pretty much instant read thermometers since there is almost no mass to them.  The chamber sensor is mounted on the back wall which is basically a huge heat sink and...

    I never had any luck smoking ribs on my Oklahoma Joe so I just stuck with butts, briskets and chickens.  I'm hoping I'll get better at smoking ribs with the electric.  I also am smoking them naked and so far, they still look juicy and dripping with juice.  They look like they will be good.  I'm...

    I was expecting the temp to drop after opening the door but not go 50 degrees over when I shut it.  It surprised me. I have read that many folks don't use anything in the water pan.  Do you use the water pan for all of your smokes or just ribs? Also, mine have been in 6 hours and I'm just...

    What a thread!  I just finished reading all of the posts and learned a lot.  It took me almost 3 days!  I appreciate everyone that contributed. I am doing my first smoke in my 40" BT smoker and seem to have the same issue as some of you.  The smoker keeps a nice steady temp as long as the door...
