    MES 40 with AMZNPS maze issues

    Update on the mailbox mod. Got it working with three holes drilled in the door and it is working well. It's the most consistent smoke I have ever had with my MES. It burns so evenly now. Thanks everyone for the help!

    MES 40 with AMZNPS maze issues

    One More question....should I try some aluminum tape on the bottom of the mailbox so that airflow is only is only moving front to back or will that be stopping the air flow more?

    MES 40 with AMZNPS maze issues

    ok everyone, thanks for all the input. Built a mailbox mod and set it up for a rib smoke yesterday. Lit my pellets and let them sit in the mailbox for about 10 minutes to get some good embers and closed it. The smoke would never reach the cook chamber and looked like the smoker wasn't drawing...

    MES 40 with AMZNPS maze issues

    Afternoon everyone......been a while! Still look in just haven't posted in a while. I am still rocking my MES 40 with a AMZNPS maze but have ran into this issue several times lately. When I get into a good thin blue smoke and don't think the maze is going to give me trouble, I go back to check a...

    Point taken. With my MES 40” I had to put the ham in the #3 spot with #2 rack removed. Hopefully all will turn out well for an early mother’s day feast! May have went slightly larger than your step by step single but it was .99 a pound!

    Bear, I was looking at your step by step for a single ham and was wondering if you could go to 225 to get the ham finished slightly quicker?

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    This was one if my mental notes from Saturday not to do again. Lol. The pan can be an enemy if not used properly....lesson learned. Now the butt was direct on rack 2 with a pan underneath on rack 3 to catch drippings, which worked well. Oh, and my ThermoPro will be here tomorrow thank...

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    This is the size I used Saturday for my leg quarters: I felt it was big but didn't realize how big until I placed in the smoker. I wonder if it was cut in half if it would work well? Actual size is 17"x12 1/4". David

    My first butt on the MES BT

    Thanks Al and Sauced! I need to tweak my rub just a bit. I got just a little too much spice for my daughter and my nephew. Mrs. Phil and the rest of the adults loved it. David

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    Thanks again Bear....I knew something was hindering the process time wise. That top pan did have vent holes all through it but I was thinking it was too full. Guess I need to listen to my instinct. I did the butt exactly as your MES step by step stated but it took 14 hours for it to hit the...
