    A-MAZE-N Round vs Square

    I have both the tray and tube. I have had some trouble getting either to stay lit in my MES with pellets (even after nuking) but I have had good success with both using dust. Puts out a nice thin smoke. I even like the tube better for dust. I get about 6-7 hours out of the expandable tube...

    SOME MID-WEEK RIBS AND HAM

    As newbie I have not tried to do multiple items at the same time (figure if it goes bad I don't ruin all of dinner) but that full smoker looks amazing. Still have to try a ham and now the beans! Thanks for sharing.

    MES Lack Of Smoke

    I have had trouble with the maze in my new MES40 with pellets. Started using sawdust and works much better. I have found I can also use the tube with dust and works great. Not too much smoke with the dust. Get about 4-5 hours from the extendable tube depending on how tight I pack the...

    Birthday smoke

    Can't wait to hear how the taste test goes. I did some cheese on my MES with the smoke tube. I think they turned out great but a few people think they are too smokey (used AMAZN pit master in tube for 3 hours then vacu sealed). Have only been aging for 2 weeks. I thought the Dubliner cheese...

    New to the Wonderful World of Smoking Things

    Look forward to the best coach debate. I do have a Maverick that is a few years old now and think I need to recheck the calibration. Think I have already been pushing the spend limit pretty far this month (the boss will notice soon)!

    New to the Wonderful World of Smoking Things

    Thanks everybody. Yes the MES 440S is an electric. Find it interesting that Masterbuilt changed the smoker tray setup so not easily converted using the mailbox mod. So far it has been decent at producing smoke but the issue is have to attend to it every 20 min or so. The test I did today did...

    New to the Wonderful World of Smoking Things

    Hello everybody from Southeast PA. Over the holidays a friend brought over some smoked ribs which were fantastic so decided to take the plunge myself. Was close to going all in and getting a Rec Tec but ended up getting a MES 440S two weeks ago. Have been reading this forum ever since...
