    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    My wife tailgates with friends at local football stadium and I furnish her with smoked wings and other items to take with her. Apparently the food went over well. Several of the people that frequent the tailgate work at a small law firm. Now there are three new MES owners at this firm due to my...

    Another AMNPS-MES Question

    You might have too high of a moisture content in your pellets. I often microwave the amount I will use for 30-45 seconds and let them cool to remove moisture first.

    Another AMNPS-MES Question

    I think the AMNPS going out has nothing to do with the way you light it. I have torched the living hell out of it only to see it go out a short time later. It all has to do with ventilation keeping it going. The last two butts I smoked were done at night and I did not want it to go out in the...

    Mes 40 ribs question

We tried again and same results so we foiled them and cooked in the oven to improve texture. This worked but I was wondering what temp and time others were having...

    Another perfect big ol' juicy butt thread

    Those look great. I just did 2 myself for tailgaiting before a football game and people stopped using buns and sauce and just ate it from the tray till it was all gone. Got to love a well prepared butt.

    Green Beans and Deer

    About the only thing that might work is an electric fence. I have tried the hair and it doesn't last long. Soap didn't work and the fishing line trick lasted only a short time till they tore it down. I built a cage with hoops made out of PVC pipe and bird netting so I can have blueberries. I...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    Well this is a smoking site and the first thing that came to mind was a Joe Walsh album "The smoker you drink, the player you get". I took the first part and ran with it.

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    There is a MES cookbook? Mine came with nothing but assembly instructions.

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I had the maple in it this time. It was a fresh bag, but maybe I should microwave first just to be safe. I had trouble with the pellets that filled the unit when I got it as well. I think it must be my air-flow. Ryan

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    David, I had the loader just slightly pulled out. I will try removing it altogether and see how that goes. I thought that might be too much air....Thanks Ryan
