    Why do Gingerbread when you can do this?

    Man that is hilarious! I know you've been getting a lot of rain up there in Oregon but being home-bound just gets the creativity going.  The curtains look perfect and yummy!...maybe a Canadian bacon welcome mat??? Steve

    Dutch's "Wicked Baked Beans"

    MES Mailbox Mod! for use with AMNPS

    You saw before how well the ANMPS worked with the mailbox mod in my new MES gen 2.5 40 and this is a look at the pellet smoker after 10 hours running straight.  I left it on after foiling my pork butt because I wanted to do a double load of "Wicked Beans" I think it has a few hours left to go! ;

    MES Mailbox Mod! for use with AMNPS

    New MES 40 gen 2.5 Mailbox mod working great!

    I finished my new Mailbox Mod today and connected it to my new MES 40 gen 2.5 and am smoking a test cheese run. Notice the amount of smoke is just right and the ANMPS is running great in the mailbox. The mailbox is really hot. That is where the heat is being dissipated. The tube going to the...

    MES heat control

    ... there is more...I've been running my new MES gen 2.5 40 for about 3 hours now at 275 set point but the actual box temp is running at 295 to 300 so it is running hot.  The spec on the MES states +- 15 degrees accuracy on the smoker temp and +- 5 degrees on the meat probe...a PID heat...

I'll monitor for the temps for 30 minutes to see if it goes up or down...it is dropping slowly..., now...

    MES heat control

    I've read numerous threads with interest regarding the poor heat control on gen 2 MES smokers since I believe my 30 is gen 2. Although most everything I've smoked has turned out great I do notice that food on the left side of the smoker always finishes first, about 10 degrees hotter when done...
