I agree with Bear on the 40in choice if you can.

Maybe this will help:Now I'm really confused , I haven't u boxed the smoker yet.
Yes you can over-smoke with the stock chip burner in your MES, but as long as you use the AMNPS you won't over-smoke.Thanks for all the help ! I'm sitting at library hr with my granddaughter , really like the small footprint of the 30. But when I started reading these post , I really don't want to cut up my ribs or worry about what's going to fit. Also by the time I make or buy a stand I'm close to the price of a 40.
Is the AMPS essential ? I've read good reviews and some not so good. Also can't you over smoke ?
Yes---Shoulder for Pulled Pork, but I and many others prefer the Boston Butt over the whole shoulder.I got the 40 " and ordered the 5x8 Amps with there pit master pellets. Thinking of doing a pork shoulder for pulled pork. Is that right cut of pork ? How long per pound should I figure ?
Thanks

Costco sells a 2 pack of 7-8lb butts each. Dont mix sauce in, keep that separate and people can throw it on the bun directly. Its very easy.What size Boston butt did you get ? Any pics ? Once you pull it do you mix it with any sauce ?
That's Great---You'll be set up real good !!
What a great help. I picked up my new AMZNPS and will smoke a small pork picnic tomorrow. I did buy a propane torch to light and thanks to the video link Bear sent me I bought a Wagner heat gun to get it smoking fast. I have an old wire rib rack that I will set it on for better air flow. and plan to pre dry my hickory pellets in the microwave for a minute before I load them.Can't wait to Smoke.
I guess if you have to, Nuking will help. Be careful they don't light up.I just got a new gen 2.5 40" MES and 5x8 AMNPS tray. I'm in Florida so it's always humid, so I nuked my hickory pellets before my last smoke. I'd read here anywhere between 1-5 minutes, so I figured I'd start at 3. When the timer went off and I opened the door, the microwave was full of smoke and 2-3 pellets were glowing. My microwave still stinks like burnt wood. Lol. Guess next time I'll try 1 minutes. However the pellets burned fine for 7 hours!

That is a great idea Bear.

If you keep your Pellets Dry, you won't have to Nuke them.
For those of you who have an "A-MAZE-N-SMOKER", or any other dust or pellet burning smoke generator,
This is how I keep my Dust & Pellets dry. Humidity will effect how the dust burns.
I have never had to Nuke any Dust or Pellets:
