    Camp chef pellet grill vent stack

    About how far above the top of the vent pipe are you supposed to put the screw top? Roughly 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch gap between the top of pipe to bottom of screw cap? Thanks.

    Camp Chef pellet consumption

    I just got a Camp Chef Smoke Pro SG. I fired it up and seasoned the smoker. I know that there are a bunch of factors, but does anyone have an idea on how many pounds per hour of pellets it will burn at various temps? Low Smoke, High smoke, 200/5 smoke level..... Just curious.

    1st pellet grill

    I am looking at pellet smoker/grills. I have looked at the OK Joe's DLX, OK Joe's 900, Pit Boss 820 and a Big Horn XL. I was leaning toward the OK Joe's 900, but found the DLX cheaper. I know that smoker brands are like Chevys and Fords. Some like one better than the other. Please keep that...

    Beef Rib Advice

    I have only smoked beef ribs once before. The first time they were still attached. This time, the ribs have already been cut into individual ribs. Any suggestion for times and temp?

    Too much smoke?

    I have always used my dehydrator for jerky, but would like to try my smoker. How much "smoke time" for jerky. Total cooking time looks like 4-6 hours. How long do you folks actually smoke it? Thanks in advance? Oh, using a MES with mailbox for the smoke.

    Masterbuilt smoke generator

    I'm thinking of adding an electric smoke generator instead of my mailbox. Sometimes I can't check that it is still lit. I have a mes40. Does anyone have experience with the Masterbuilt electric smoke generator add on? Tips and tricks, advice, do's and don'ts.... Thanks.

    Fan on a rainy night.

    Okay, here goes. I am smoking a brisket for the groomsmen of my nephews wedding. I use a MES 40 with mailbox. It is supposed to be rainy the night of the smoke. I occasionally have issues with the AMNPS only burning 1/2 way through the tray. Just on dead calm days. This only happens when I...

    Resting times for turkey

    I am smoking a bird this year. I haven't got the bird, so can't tell you how much it weighs. My question isn't with smoking the bird, but rest time and "storage" until lunch. I always like it when I have to delay lunch/dinner for a little bit until the meat is done and rested. That way I...

    PID Questions

    Just got a new controller from Masterbuilt. Seems to work fine. Looking at a PID just for giggles, and the fact that I want to smoke birds higher than 275. I have a couple of questions for the PID guys: 1 Will the actual box stand up to the higher heat that I'm gonna cook with? 2 What delay...

    MES140S Mixed reviews?

    Well I finally did it. I killed my MES30. Completely my fault. Got it wet cleaning it. I mean deep cleaning with a power washer. It was great and never gave me any problems for years. now it keeps popping the GFCI breaker that it has been plugged into for the entire life of the smoker. Oh...

    Too cold? More help from the cheese people.

    Last night I smoked a couple of pounds of cheddar and some string cheese (just for fun). I smoked it five ever and no color. Seriously about 8 hours of smoke. The temp last night was in the high 30s. The string cheese had a nice brown color, of course it's a little easier to see because it...

    AMNPS Smoke times

    I'm no Smokololigist and I'm sure this has been beaten to death, but here goes.  I did a mailbox mod and everything works just fine.  I have read many posts about the AMNPS not working at all.  I started a brisket last night at midnight.  I got 8.5 hours of smoke from the AMNPS.  Great right...

    Help from the Cheese people

    Hey y'all.  I was trying something new tonight.  SMOKING CHEESE!  Lets just say that keeping my smoker under 90 during the summer in Oklahoma is difficult.  I had no heat turned on, an A-maze-N pellet hopper in the bottom of my MasterBuilt smoker.  I used ice trays to keep it under 90.  All was...
