So I just got my MES 40 and was sold on using the AMNPS. A lot of people seem to be buying the Masterbuilt cold smoke attachment. Has anyone used both? What would be the better set up? Here is a link to the attachment:
I recently joined a couple MES Facebook groups and I am surprised on how little there is talk of AMNPS. Sounds like most of them stick to the chip way and I can't imagine having to feed the smoker chips every 30-45 minutes. Really glad I found this site and learned about the AMNPS before I even...
Decided recently to get into smoking. I have not purchased my smoker and was wondering if I should wait until spring? Is it more difficult to keep the right temperature when it gets below freezing out? Or is it better because it will not overheat?
Yup, gen 2.5 which I have heard is the best to get. Someone brought up in a different thread to look at the one without the window since it is about $70 cheaper but nobody has it in stock around me.
Hmm that is a good point. What about the Bluetooth, is that not worth the extra $$ either? Does Academy offer free shipping? If not the price might come closer to the one I can go pick up at Sams.
I just joined today. Looking at getting a MES 40 in the near future. I honestly just got the itch to get into smoking the other day and here I am. Still pretty overwhelmed with picking a smoker and next trying to figure out what and how to make it.
Here is the one I will likely get.

You guys just sold me on the 40. Just checked and my Sams club has 5 in stock. Thanks for all the help so far, I will keep on reading up as I am sure I will have many more questions.
That is the cheapest I could find in my quick searching. Since I have narrowed it down to what I want I can start price searching. I just started looking into smokers a couple days ago and it has been overwhelming. I might look for a 40 inch as well just in case I really get into smoking.
New here and have been trying to figure out all the differences between the gen's. Found this one on Amazon and just want to confirm it is a gen 2.5? Also been reading a lot about the added pellet smoker, will that still work well with the 30 inch gen 2.5? I read that it was originally designed...
