    AMazen Problem

    Do a mailbox mod.  I used 1 alum mailbox and 2 alum. adj. elbows (3 inch).  Set the mailbox on a brick for airflow and works great on my mes30.  Solved all my problems.  Cost less than $25 at Menards.  Keep it lower than the intake to your smoker. Dasmoke

    Advice on 1st mig welder

    Do yourself a favor and go to an actual tool store to buy a welder and not a box store.  They have the knowledge and parts to help you if you ever have a  problem.  Lowes will just say we need to order it and who knows how long it will take.   All electric tools are not the same.  Just because...

    Party for 800

    Thanks for the ideas.  It is an old commercial fridge turned into a smoker.  So it is a vertical unit.  Roughly 5 feet tall x30x24 is the chamber size.   Heat and airflow should not be a problem, we have a burner that is good size.  If I put 16 -10lb butts in their on four shelves, what do you...

    Anyone not foil pork butts?

    I just did 2- 10 lb butts from sams last week.  I did something different this time.  I trimed off most of the fat cap( left 1/8 inch or less.  I like the bark and don't foil.  Doing this I think cooks and renders faster and you have more bark for your meat.  I used the AMNS for the first time...

    I just can't take it anymore.

    For storing outside I use a rubbermaid outdoor storage container.  I got it at Menards and it works great.   The top and the front opens so it is readly available to smoke at any time.  Best of all, If i make a mess out of it I can just hose it off.  As for hot smoking, I use chunk wood.  I have...
