    Keeping Chicken Warm

    Long story short, for Mother's Day my mom requested some smoked chicken, so got a whole batch of thighs and breasts going however looks like they're gonna be done before her flight lands. Can I just throw em in the oven covered in a foil pan at 180 and call it good? Too high/low? Will post up...

    Anyone use wood pellets in their MES?

    Definitely not on Bears level but I'll give my experience. When I use my AMNPS, I always leave the top vent completely open, pull the chip drawer out about an inch and a half, and completely remove the side loader unless it's a particularly windy day. Over time, I've found these steps will let...

    I need to build me a butcher shop!

    Not too far away at all, friend of mine actually invited me out on a hunting trip down in that area during deer season but I was traveling at the time and missed out. Hate to see waste like that, can't believe people would keep ordering. Just weird in my head that someone would place an order...

    Why Cow tongue is so expensive.......

    Never have an issue when I get my side of beef to get the tongue, heart, liver, tail, and any extras they feel like throwing in. Guess it's just the area living in Iowa.

    Anyone use wood pellets in their MES?

    Fill a half gallon milk jug with water, freeze it. Place in the water tray above the AMNPS to keep the temperature down. Worked wonders for me the last time I cold smoked.

    How large a turkey in a 30" MES?

    Did a 17 pounder in my MES30 for Turkey Day this year, however I wouldn't go any larger than that. Ended up twining the legs together so they didn't hit the edges, and it took about 9 hours to cook.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Definitely interested to see how this turns out, as I've been thinking of upgrading to a MES40 anyways since the MES30 space wise is just not cutting it. On top of that, I love the idea of tinkering with the BT connection and hooking it up to my smart home. O the possibilities.

    AMNPS arriving today

    Find what works for you in the area you smoke at. Personally, if I smoke at my parents, I'm more than good with pulling the drawer out a tad and the loader out 1 inch. However, when I smoke on the back deck at my house, I have to pull the drawer out as much as it goes and completely remove the...
