Ok...so it was my turn this week to get the goodie bag from Todd:yahoo: It got here Friday afternoon and had a 5x8 AMNPS, 2 pounds of Hickory pellets (thanks for making the swap Todd!!), and 5 pounds of Pecan pellets. I looked at the AMNPS for quite a while on line before ordering it. I really couldn't see how it was as effective as everybody said it was so I held off getting one. Boy was that a mistake on my part. I read the instructions (God forbid!!) and decided to do some ribs yesterday. It was the first cook on the new MES 40 and the first time using the AMNPS. I wasn't expecting anything spectacular so I didn't bother taking pictures. This turned out to be my second mistake :biggrin: The ribs came out absolutely incredible!! Now to a quick summary of the AMNPS. This thing really is A-MAZE-N. It's so easy to regulate the volume of smoke by how deep you fill the tray and so easy to regulate how long it smokes by how much of the tray you put pellets in. The smoker is so simple in it's design, extremely well detailed in it's construction, unbelievable easy to use, and very efficient. You get a consistent amount of smoke with no "peaks" or "valleys" as you do with the chips that are supposed to be used in an electric smoker. I could not be happier with the AMNPS or the MES 40. If any of you are on the fence as I was about getting the AMNPS, don't hesitate any longer. It's well worth every penny!!
