Hi everyone, my name is Matt and currently live in Russell, PA in Northwest PA.  I've been doing smoking on my Weber for several years and just bought a MES 30" Gen2.5 about a month ago.  I used the forum extensively in researching smokers.  I really liked all the information I was able to obtain so I pulled the trigger and became a member.

I've done a couple smokes on the MES and they have turned out well, using as instructed.  I have now run across the AMNPS and will be getting one them.

Currently, I'm running a temperature test with the iGrill Mini and a cheap Walmart RF thermometer.  Initial tests show the MES overruns about 25°F on heat-up.  The two temperature probes are reading about 10°F lower than the MES.  It also looks like the PID controller in the MES takes about 3 cycles to really get dialed in.  I will post the iGrill Mini data once my test is complete.  Also, I'm looking at getting the Maverick ET-733.  I was looking at the 735 but there seems to be issues with the app and I already have the iGrill.

Can't wait for the fall and do my pheasants on the MES instead of the Weber, and cold smoking with the AMNPS.

I look forward to learner and sharing where/when I can about the wonderful world of smoking. 

Everything is better smoked regardless of what my wife thinks.  Smoke On!

Matt
