Smoke Ring using Masterbuilt Electric: pic heavy

[gmc2003]

Nice job Rings, I think your getting your monies worth out of that smoker. The ECB must be getting jealous at this point.
Keep up the good work.

Point for sure.

I hope to make it more controllable. There just isn't the space in these little smokers for charcoal . You only get a single rack to be in use safely above a deflector and drip pan.

I like charcoal flavor in the Mes. These six briquettes once lit, being in close proximity to the heating element gave the Mes sensor a false high reading so the heating element was off for a couple hours until the sensor called for heat again, turning on the heating element. It kept the second from the top rack at 230*. This was lower than my set point so I could have moved the rack down a level but I just wanted to check it out. After the coals burned down the Mes took over and went back up to my set point.

Now that's different.. cool. You need wood chunks on there. :)

I had smoke coming in from the mailbox mod. I think I'd need a bigger platform for more briquettes with the Minion Method to do a chunk but I do have a leaf and lawn bag full of seasoned small Cherry splits. With the rails on the gen 1 I may see what I can do. Maybe I'll try it without charcoal and put the chunk on the aluminum grid next to the element. It'll catch on fire being open so maybe wrap in foil with holes. I'll try that. Baby steps and don't take my eyes off of it. I don't have Cherry pellets for the AMNPS so we'll see how this works. After these years with the Mes I've never used chips/chunks in it.

I used foiled chunks on my element easy to clean and no room to flame up.

Looks good but you are wayyyyyy over thinking the smoke ring. Below is a picture of a piece of brisket I experimented with. A total of 5 charcoal brickets in the MES40 chip pan, one at a time while the AMAZIN did the pellets.

Lol.. Yep.. I did do that at the end.
Just a couple with wood chunks going . I tossed in the briquetes one at a time. But I figured using charcoal as the main heat source and adding electric as needed if it started cooling down.
I will try electricity and a couple coals at a time next time.. and the wood chunks.. they burn good in that bullet's chip pan.

Who’s old! I’m just dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to computer technology. Well, and I am 73 that might have something to do with it. Is there a way to create a short cut to the forms?

Randy,

What question was that? I answered about "wouldn't your cold smoking device do that"
And about your burnt ends don't turn out juicy.
Not sure what you were asking. :)

I’m sorry l was actually asking Bear or Al or even Foamheart but with this new web sight I don’t know who I am talking to and after 4 years of pure pleasure on the forms I am about to say goodbye. I have not found anything better about the new system and I have no idea of how to deal with it. It’s a shame because its people like you that made it so great. The question was how to creat s short cut to the fourm?
