    AMNPS 5 X 8 and MES 40 Issues

    I microwave for 3 minutes, stir, another 3 minutes and then in. Most likely your just having airflow issues, even with the chiploader out. I highly suggest the mailbox mod, very very simple and flat out works.

    AMNPS 5 X 8 and MES 40 Issues

    For mine I was having similar issues but now all is well. I make sure my pellets are burning for a good five minutes ensuring those embers are deep. I then blow it out and if I keep going and it re-lights, it's go time. I have removed my chip loader completely and cut a 3x2 inch slot out of the...

    Anyone ever used chunks successfully in their tray? Got a ton laying around and the tequila told me it could work.

    B&B Pellets in Amazen tray

    Running an MES 40. Modified for airflow for the amazen tray. Purchased Amazen pellets and got 12 hr smokes out of the ones purchased (phenomenal) Bought some B&B at Academy, damn things keep going out after 1-1.5 hrs of use. Nothing different, same spot outside, same temp bla bla. Did microwave...

    Amazen has arrived!

    I wonder if there has been any design changes since? I've had no problems during my few test runs getting it lit, keeping it smoking etc. And for my personal experience the amount of smoke generated was actually quite surprising considering its size. YMMV of course.

    Amazen has arrived!

    So all told on last night's trial run, I received 4 hours and ten minutes out of a row and a half of pellets. Minimal breeze ( >5mph) and not once did it falter. I'm in love!

    Amazen has arrived!

    That was my exact thinking. Plus there is always a breeze out here in Kansas. It ran about 4 hours (only did 1 1/4 rows to test), super happy.

    Amazen has arrived!

    Upon many many recommendations I ordered the Amazen pellet tray for my MES 40. I also picked up their hickory, apple and pitmasters pellets. Of course I wanted to get a feel for it before I do some ribs this weekend, so dropped in a row and a half of hickory, followed the many lighting...

    Mes Model 20070311

    So I bit the bullet, ordered the 5x8 tray and 6lbs of Amazen Pellets. Got some ribs to do this upcoming weekend, so we shall see! I plan on putting the tray in the lower left of the unit, maybe cut up some brackets to keep it suspended off the smoker floor for airflow. I really don't want to...

    Mes Model 20070311

    I have been looking, but not sure how everyone has them set up in this particular unit, I'll have to do some more browsing.

    First time smoking thighs

    So they turned out very well! I say the homemade rub I use didn't really mesh with the smoke flavor, so that is noted. The meat was just juicy and tender as all get out, everyone enjoyed it and as I play around with different rubs/etc I may actually enjoy chicken more!

    First time smoking thighs
