I am still having trouble with my AMNPS tray. When it gets to the end of the row the fire goes out. I put extra pellets at the end to help it burn around the corner but it still goes out. It just doesn't act like it is drawing, should I put a pipe on the top outlet to raise the flue?

Well it turned out great at 3:00 it reached its temp and I wrapped it in foil and put it in a big blanket in a cooler until 6:00. Everyone raved about it I don’t eat dead cow so I don’t always feel like I know what I am doing when I cook it. I had time to turn up the temp and smoke some chicken...

i am smoking my first brisket. The recipe said to cook it around 18-20 hours. I put it in at 7:00 pm last night. It is up to 150 degrees at 8:00 AM so it is going to done way before our meal at 6 tonight. I plan on resting it in a cooler but then what? Do I turn the smoker down to 140 and put it...

Forgot it was 13 lbs and it took 6 hrs at 275 or lower kind of jumped around.

Well all went well except the smoke part. I am usining a Amazen tray with their pellets in a mail box. I have a hard time keeping it lite. I have added hole and closed holes but it still does not stay lite. I was using apple wood. Oh well it was smoked enough as I didn't want it to strong. Hope...

I am fairly new to smoking but want to do a turkey for tomorrow. I have searched the threads and am more confused than I was when I started. Cooking times all over the place as well as temps. I bought a free range turkey that has not been soaked in salt. I have heart issues so don't need any...

Is there a way you can increase the LED brightness on the controller? I almost have to get my face right on it to read it. I made one of those register covers and painted it black but it is still very difficult to read. I emailed MES about it but they won't answer me. Can it be replaced with...

I am at 700 ft elevation, I use the pellets I got from the Amazen company, this smoke I used apple. My tray is about 2 inches off the bottom and the ashes are white. I don't have any holes in the bottom but can put some there. There is a couple 1/4" holes for mounting the mail box but I don't...

Yes same as the rest of the row

I have 5 3/4" holes in the front of the mailbox when it is smoking it works fine the fire just goes out

Mes 130 the tray is in a mailbox it stays lite until it gets to the end of the row then goes out

so I did my first smoke with my Amazen tray 5X8. I filled all three rows and made sure I didn't get it to full so the fire would jump rows. The fire goes out when it gets to the end of the row, what am I doing wrong?

It will spend its down time in the garage and I put a band over the smoker to bolt it to the cart.

i got a new smoker for Father's Day and decided I wanted it portable. I found an old shopping cart at an antique store and decided it would be my frame. I know, redneck. At least that is what my son says. I read as many post as I could and decided to use the mail box as my fire box. I installed...

Well I got an old shopping cart and started to build the portable smoker. Got some work to do and will paint it to make it look a little better. My son says it looks redneck, I must of done a good job.

Chop Saw do you have an internal picture of your set up? Do you remove the chip device that is in the 3" hole?

Thanks Chopsaw I like that idea might have to re think my cart.

I have a question. I see most of the mail box modifications use a dryer hose to connect the mailbox to the smoker. I have a MES 130 and the chip loader is where I see people hook the hose to. Why not use a 3" coupler attached to the upper center side of the mail box and connect the mailbox to...

Hello all, I just found this forum a few days ago and have been reading a lot. Years ago I had a charcoal smoker but was not very good at it. I decided to give it a try again. My son bought me a MES 130B for Fathers day. I asked for a MES 30 but he decided I needed a digital one. I see a lot of...
