    Stand for Amnps?

    Hey Guys, Long time no talk. Anyways now that smoking season is upon us, I need to figure out how to better use my AMNPS. I used it last year but didn't have much luck keeping it going. I have a MES 40' so I know most people put it in the bottom left corner or create a MAILBOX MOD. I am...

    Ribs and pulled pork

    Smoked chicken

    Thanks guys. Do you usually place the chicken right on the grates or in a aluminum pan? I saw Jeff had a beer can recipe is this preferred? I’ve never done the beer can chicken before so not sure what to expect. Do most people smoke on high temps first then drop it? Or start low and then...

    Newbie Questions

    Awesome Thanks guys, also I plan on unboxing the MES today so what is the best way for me to “season” the unit? I think the directions say to turn it to 275 for 3 hours and add chips the last 45 minutes. Is that all I need to do? Mike

    So basically the cover is not enough? I should always put the MES away when not in use. Ugh so frustrating to not have a garage.

    John & Doug- Thank you so much for all of the helpful info. I plan on "seasoning" the smoker this weekend and hopefully getting a first smoke in at some point. Random question-Can I leave my smoker outside covered (not on a stand) and be okay with it if it rains? Just want to make sure...

    Newbie Questions

    Newbie Questions

    Unfortunately I have not had a chance or good weather in my area to unbox my MES. However I can tell you the vent is on the top towards the back right according to the picture on the box. Not sure if this is useful in determining which gen I have. The bbq course sounds awesome where I do...
