    Cabelas (Weston?) Stainless Vertical Smoker Help Needed

    I just inherited my fathers. Same unit.  Once I got it set up I had the same problem.  I found the orifice where it comes out of the control valve had pulled out of the burner.  This was due to the front legs getting tweaked and pulling the control panel out some.  Take a look and see if the...

    Brisket SOS

    Steve,            Sounds like you are cooking fully trimmed brisket flats.  The way I do brisket is to get the untrimmed packer brisket (10-16lbs) and cook for 1.5hrs per pound with the fat cap up until internal temp is around 195.  Then seperate the flat from everything else and foil it.  I...

    HELP! MB 40 Not Working

    Wow did they get carried away with the selections on that meter.  Put your red lead in the furthest right port and your black lead in the COM port.  NOw turn the dial to the 12 o'clock position.(To ensure there is no confusion unplug the MES)  Take the plug and test between on of the spades and...

    Im stuck in Africa at the moment but am planning on picking up a pork shoulder and doing some pulled pork with the AMNPS as soon as I get home.  I havent eaten much of anything in the last few days so my mind is running wild on bbq dreams!

    broke down and bought the AMNPS

    Fired it up last night to smoke a case of hot links.  Worked really well after I got the pellets heated up.  Still had it burning after the links so I smoked the wifey some almonds.  Thanks for the quick processing Todd.  Also, thanks for the free Oak pellets as well!

    broke down and bought the AMNPS

    Beez kneez, I got into an argument with a scotish guy over in east aftrica last month and he just kept freakin saying it so I cant get it out of my mind now.  I figure all of you guys are extremely satisfied with the AMNPs so might as well jump on board.

    MES 40 - Troubleshoot cause of temp reading on display higher than actual temps

    This is just a shot in the dark but after looking at you photos I have a half smoked theory.  Would different ammounts of contact between the sensor and the material the internal walls are made of cause the wild differences we see between everybodys MES's?  Essentially the probe is coupled to...
