    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I am amazed at how this smoker takes cheap $2/lb pork loin and turns it into such a wonderful eating experience. It takes 2 racks to cook $14 worth of pork, what more can you ask for? A little rub, some apple juice in the water pan, and apple/hickory sawdust mix in the A-MazeN-Smoker and 5...

    Pork Loin - Wrap in Bacon?

    When you stuff the loin, where is the best place to put the temperature probe?  I assume it should go in the meat at the center, but how can you be sure it is in the meat and not the filling? So far I have done unstuffed loins. The last one (9 lbs, cut in half) was brined for 3 days. I then...

    First try with A-mazeN smoker - fail

    Todd, I smoked at 225*, same as last time. I had a real nice smoke ring on the top half, but I think having the water pan directly under the pork and above the AMNS blocked the smoke from the bottom of the pork.  This is a learning experience, where you get to eat the homework.  It still tasted...

    First try with A-mazeN smoker - fail

    Second time - success! I received my "fix" from Todd and smoked another pork loin for the Superbowl party. I put in the new parts, filled it completely with hickory/apple mix and lit both ends. This time I placed it on top of a tile on top of the heat box instead of on the drip pan. One row...

    First try with A-mazeN smoker - fail

    Thanks for all the suggestions.  I'll try the foil baffle next time.I had  it sitting on the the drip pan all the way to the left, but the AMS was touching the burner box. The initial flames were on the side by the burner. I was still in the preheat stage when it caught fire, there was no meat...

    First try with A-mazeN smoker - fail

    I used my AMS in my MES30 yesterday and it didn't go as expected at all. I loaded half with Apple dust and half with Hickory, lit both ends to where I had a very small red glow and put it in the cold MES. Set the MES for 225 and left for 30 minutes. Outside temp was in the 30's. At that time...

    MES.... hot corner!

    Does anyone know if the "no smoke fix" from MES fixes the hot spot issue too? Mine shipped today so I should have by the weekend but if I need to fix the hotspot I'd like to get that done now.

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I have the 30", no-smoke fix was to ship today, Amaze-N-Smoker (sp?) is due Wednesday. To get the no-smoke fix just took 2 emails to customer service, and if I had been smart enough to include model and serial number in the first a singel email would have done it.  Got it at Lowes, was priced...
