    Who cleans their smoker?

    Ha! How did you know I also have trouble typing on this site? I usually type in Notepad, then cut and paste in the typing box. I dont know why I didnt think of the wire brush before, thats a great idea!

    MES Gen2 and A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker (tray)

    Ive had my MES Gen2 (30", no window) for awhile now, I like it but it never gave enough smoke beyond the first 30 mins or so. I bought an A-Maze-N pellet smoker 5x8 tray and for its first use, I smoked up a pork butt last weekend. It was only a 4lb butt, but took almost 14 hours for it to hit...

    Who cleans their smoker?

    Thanks guys. I just did a 14 hour smoke at 220 degrees on a pork butt, I took it up to 200 internal temp and it turned out great. The bark tho had almost a bitter aftertaste, which got me to thinking maybe I need to clean the grease off like you guys do. I took a look in my smoker to see what...

    How long to smoke pork chops?

    I am going to smoke a pork butt and will start it on the smoker in the wee hours of the morning. When its closer to lunch time, I want to throw on a couple of pork chops. They are about 3/4" thick, how long should I smoke them for? And to what temp?

    Who cleans their smoker?

    I will sometimes read where people refer to cleaning their smoker. I ask, why? I never clean the inside of it. the only think I would do is pour out the liquid grease that gathers in the bottom tray of my MES and leave the rest of the inside of it untouched. I dont ever see mold or anything...

    MES 30" not working after replacing element - help!

    Hey thanks for the input! Can you confirm your model is a 20070910? I ask because that temp switch thermostat isnt in a little box in my smoker, it just sitting there by itself, against the wall, near the upper left corner. I suspected it when I first had this problem, but when I plug in the...

    Should I split an 8lb butt before smoking to get more bark?

    Just an update. To clarify, Im using a masterbuilt electric smoker. It only goes up to 275, so I smoked it for about 8 hrs , whole. It hit 200, and then actually started to lose temperature according my meat thermometer. The  smoker showed it holding steady at 272.In any case, I took it off and...

    Should I split an 8lb butt before smoking to get more bark?

    I think I am going to try that, smoking it at 300  and keep it whole. How long did you say that should take? I just want to make sure I get it on the smoker with enough time so its done before 5 or 6 hungry guys start raiding my kitchen because the smell of smoking pork is too much for them...
