    Turkey..Turkey..Turkey

    Well don't think I got the reply quite right. Apologies to all. I am going to give this a go with a 10 lb Turkey. Any thoughts on how long it might take in the MES and Oven? Thanks Greg

    Well today I managed to keep the AMPS burning for 12 hours on my first try at bacon. So I guess that's progress. Still lots to learn but thanks to your help I am starting to get some confidence. Thanks again for your help. Greg

    My first Bacon. All three types BBB, CB and Belly (pic heavy)

    Hi BigDaveJr, Interested in how long/temp you ended up smoking your Belly Bacon. On my first go and not sure which way to go or how long with the smoke. Your bacon looks great! Mine comes out of a dry cure tomorrow so smoking in a couple days.

    First Bacon - how long to smoke

    I am new to smoking and just trying my first bacon. I am using a dry cure from the book by Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn. But I am not quite sure at what temperature and how long to smoke and for. I have a MES 30 smoker with a letterbox type conversion so I can cold smoke If I want to. Now...

    Hinder, Don't give up yet. I went for a MES too and have struggled with smoke. I am still getting the hang of it. I feel like I am nearly there with the smoke. I have a little kettle BBQ instead of a mailbox. I'm sure you have read it before but the combination that ended up working for me...

    AMNPS in MES30 Australia

    Thanks Chuck, I'm progressing. Think I have suffered from moisture but getting on top of that, feel like I need to get the draft sorted. I've been reading a lot of posts but want to make sure I have it down pat before setting to keen. Walk before I run so to speak. Thanks Greg

    AMNPS in MES30 Australia

    Hello, I am a newbie and struggling with an AMNPS in my MES30 (Aussie model). Advice on where to place it would be a great help. I am struggling a little with keeping it alight and generating enough smoke. Tried it down the bottom but seems to go out. I am busily experimenting but was...
