PP in mes with first go at a maze n tray

[Thomas The Tank]

Got an mes 30 and when I got into smoking meat a year ago I bought the mes cold smoke kit attachment so I didn’t have to load chips every 30min. (This was before joining the forum and only doing minimal research) Problem was I would fill the chute and then it would get jammed up. So I was still messing with it a lot more than I wanted to. I went and got the a maze n tray and loved it.

Anyway did my first smoke with it on a pork butt and loved it. Had to fill with some more pellets once in the cook but a lot better than constantly messing. pork turned out great!

The tray should get me thru until I get a rec tec or other pellet grill.

Nice looking butt! Killer bark. Points on the smoke!

I agree, that is some great bark. Im sure it was tasty

 

[Preacher Man]

That looks gorgeous!

What flavor of pellets did you use?

How long of a smoke did you get from your maze?

It looks like you lit both ends of the pellet tray, or is that an illusion? Full tray should give you around 12 hours of smoke if you light one end. Looks good!

Thanks!

It came pre filled with competition blend pelts, when I added more I used lumberjack competition blend. From what I’ve read they are the same.

I only got about 7hrs or smoke from it, which I was please with that. Since using a gen 2 mes I set it on the drip tray above the opening where the water pan goes, and put a foil pan up top with water. The directions did say if it’s closer to a heat source it will burn faster.

Actully when i filled it with more pellets i added to the right side where it was red hot with smoldering pellets. So this pic was after I filled it and the smoke was an hour or two from being done. Only got about 7hrs smoke I am guessing since it was placed closer to the heating element.

LIKE. Good looking PP!

I set my tray on lowest rack above element and run @ 275F and still get 12hours or more. Coulda jumped a row. Happens. We like PM blend on chicken and prefer oak for most.

Make sure the top of the pellets dont over lap the divider walls and you can also set the tray on the lower rack above the heater.

That looks delicious. It’s raining pretty crazy here in So Cal for a change. You’ve got me itching to smoke a pork butt now. Two thumbs up.

Awesome looking PP...Big Like!

As for the pellets, you can get refills at Amazon or through A-MAZE-N Products. If you have Amazon Prime, go that way and save on the shipping.

I like Hickory and Mesquite best...not a huge fan of Pitmaster Blend but will still eat everything that was smoked with it...Pecan is good as well.
