    How easily should pellets burn in AMNPS?

    I struggled for years to find the right way to keep mine burning. I finally dumped my bargain propane torch and bought a better one ($30). Since then I've had no problems with pellets going out. I give it aprox 60 seconds with the torch on them, then let it burn for 15 min before blowing the...

    Cover for smoker and cold smoker?

    All I do to mine is brush the grates when they get too much build up.  After each smoke, while it's still warm I clean the temp probes and window with alcohol and paper towels. Cleans up really easy.

    MES maiden voyage with Q view (I hope)

    Looks great! I love doing chicken in my MES. My best results are to take it out of the smoker when it hits an internal temp of 140, then throw it on a hot grill to finish and crisp up the outside a little.

    Replacement for Oster Jerky Seasoning?

    My supply of Oster Jerky Seasoning is almost out, and since it's no longer manufactured, I need to find a replacement. I always add my own seasonings along with the packs, so I'm trying to find something that tastes similar to the Oster brand, so that my recipe will still work. Any suggestions?

    Need some help with a new electric smoker PLEASE..

    Bear makes a good point about it possibly being a bad controller. My first MES had one that was way off. Masterbuilt was great about sending a replacement controller right out to me. But like he said, you really won't know until you put a reliable thermometer on it. Best of luck! Once you get it...

    Need some help with a new electric smoker PLEASE..

    I think you made the right choice going with the MES 40.  My guess is that by running it at 275 for 3 hours, you got a lot of heat built up in the insulation/body, and that's probably what kept the temp rising on you.  I've made jerky in mine before and never had a problem holding low temps.  I...

    Pellets or no pellets?

    I won't smoke without pellets.  I love them.  Great flavor and SO simple.  The pellet smoker from Amazen is wonderful.  I haven't even used chips in my last 2 MES'.  My personal preference is the Pitmasterblend pellets.

    new MES 40

    You might want to open the vent all the way, and cover your water and drip pans in foil. The first time I ran my MES' I sprayed the inside with Pam too. Enjoy!

    Smoked Rib Roast

    Tried out a rib roast today in the new Masterbuilt 40.  I was more than pleased with the results.  Started with a 6 1/2 pound roast.  Just kept things simple as far as prep.  Rubbed it in oil then covered in Kosher Salt, Pepper, and a little Seasoned Salt.  Loaded up 1/2 of the AMNPS with...

    type of smoke to use for Turkey

    I've had great results with a buttermilk brine, with a tbsp of poultry seasoning added.  Then smoked with Pitmaster's Choice pellets (Hickory/Cherry/Maple).

    It doesn't look like there's a very affordable way to ship these out west.  If anyone wants to meet me within an hour or two of Western NY to pick them up, just let me know.
