    looking for a good all around flavor for mes

    The reason I was looking at amazon was shipping price. I could order small batches to find that happy flavor. Then go bulk. Wish he did sample kits from his site. Thanks for the input guys.

    One more "Mail Box Mod" for the AMNPS and the MES30 ...NEW PICTURES FOR ATTACHING ELBOW TO MAILBOX

    Love the mailbox mod. I have a question about sufficient exhaust from the smoker. I saw a video of mailbox in action and noticed an extension using a soup can. My question is, do I cut out the butterfly control on top? Don't want stagnant smoke kissing the meat.
