    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.  I've used ScooterMagoo's process to start my AMNPS and can get it started no problem.  The problem lies in the proper airflow to keep it going.  I've tried inside the MES above the water pan - no water, and outside in the mailbox.  My MES is a side...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I must be one of the few that don't really like my MES 40.  It's about 3 months old, and I really struggle with my smoke.  Tried chip loader and have too many issues with flame ups.  Tried an AMNPS inside the unit and couldn't keep it lit.  Setup a mailbox mod, but still can't keep the AMNPS...

    mes mailbox mod

    I used a 3" hole saw.  Gotta have the pilot bit, and it was not the easiest cut to make.  I eventually made it work though.  I had to put a small fan in front of the door to get enough air moving through it to keep the AMNPS lit.  Used it for the first time today, on some 321 Rigs and it worked...

    mes mailbox mod

    OK all you AMNPS mailbox mod users - please help me out.  Here's a picture of my new mod.  Everything went well first time I hooked it up.  I had the MES running at about 240 with nothing in it and was getting good solid smoke into the smoker for about 2 hours.  2 hours in, AMNPS goes out.  I...

    MES newbie question

    Well, after a 6 hour smoke, I was really happy with the amount of smoke I was getting.  Then I pulled out my finished product.  I found only about 1/2 the first row burned.  I think I made the typical rookie mistake and didn't spend enough time getting the AMNPS started.  The smoke I was seeing...

    MES newbie question

    Second smoke in my Mes 40, first using my AMNPS - but where do I put it? Tried on top of the water pan - liked it there but worried about drips from the ribs affecting it. Put it under water pan can't see it as well and not sure if it's getting enough air. Chip tray is out a bit and fill tube...

    Is this a crazy idea?

    Ok, I just bought a new MES 40 to replace my Bradley smoker.  It's been a really wet summer so far, and I want to be able to smoke when I want to, not just when the weather allows. I have a 14x20 barn that I was thinking about hanging an old Range hood in, and putting my smoker in there when...

    Hello from Minneapolis

    I've been somewhat successfully smoking for a couple years.  Always felt a little like I was cheating because I had a Bradly with those little pucks.  Finally wore it out enough that I felt like I needed a new one.  I really struggled with what to purchase, but ended up with a new MES 40".  I've...
