    A Pair Of Spares Beats A Full House!

    Thanks Bear!  I will give that a try with the AMNS.  I did not know about the AMNPS - I will go searching now!  Seemed like in my MS analog the AMNS 6x8 started out well but then really accelerated about 1.5 hours in.  I had to peek as white smoke began and saw the 3 rows black!   I put the 3...

    A Pair Of Spares Beats A Full House!

    Just checkin' here.  I got my AMSN! What a complete difference!  I can now graduate from chickens and try this one for ribs.  Is it true then that at 240 and the AMSN filed only on the outside two rows that this is all the smoke someone should use?  I think it may only smoke at that temperture...

    Kielbasa Kid - Great photos and instructions!  I notice the 4 support legs for the unit set in some containers -  I have paper towels folded just right under mine but I will be changing to what I see in your photos! I've had steam vapor and juice running all over the place from the legs but...

    30" MES smoker is not smoking, 20070910.

    Leon - Mine did smoke great right off the bat when I seasoned it.  Even when I seasoned it my clean shiny interior walls started to turn color so I can see that your not getting any smoke.  I have grilled for years too and have that down so making my analog smoker work the way I read these...

    The smoke generator fascinates me.  I see that it is a pressure cooker with some mods and maybe an aquarium air pump...Got any more details on how you make it work? Thanks, Garry

    Woow! great idea for a rope gasket.  Where do I get a rope gasket and how did you attach it?  I think if I used a cotton cord rope I would introduce a new cotton type of smoke chip!

    I have the same smoker you are using!  I am new to smoking meats and I am hooked on it!  I have learned so much very quickly from the kind people here that it helps a great deal.  So I will pass along my 2 cents and see if we can get you smokin'.. This is my analog smoker and after only 3 uses...

    Drip Tray

    Yes that is the smoker I have and the water tray blocks the drip path as well I guess.  I think these doubts came to mine as white smoke poured out and smelled like grease and not the good wood chip smoke.  Thanks so much for your time and help.  Let's see if Bearcarver comes along...  Are the...

    Drip Tray

    Hey thanks very much - so it is ok to let the drippings fall to the heating element?  And should I not soak the chips before I use them?  Sorry for the lame questions, just want to get it right... Garry

    Drip Tray

    Hey I know I'm blowin' it bein new to this.  Is it a general rule of thumb to add a drip tray into the smoker?  (I just got a masterbuilt).  Maybe I should have joined this site first!  Any way with the chickens I have done twice and they came out great I just let all the grease and juice fall...
