I place 4 slabs of Baby Back or St Louis Style in a 4 slab rib rack in a 40" MES BT Smoker on 2nd shelf and smoke @ 230* for 3 hrs and then moisten them and wrap in foil and put back in Smoker for 1 1/2 hrs and they are done to falling off the bone stage. In fact, they will fall off if not...
Takes too long, too much effort to do that, danger of scratching glass, and etc. Methods I mentioned takes 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. A razor blade takes a big gob of minutes, plus glass still has to be washed after.
I've used Magic Eraser, Simple Green, and Weber Grill Cleaner and sprayed with water in a spray bottle over those cleaners and then used a gray or lighter scotch brite pad rubbed lightly on glass to loosen the stain. Then wiped with bounty paper towels, followed by plain water and towels 1 or 2...
I am committed to exhausting all means of trying to make the A-Maze-N Smoker work for me in my 40" BT MES.
Now, with that being said, if all else fails for me, has anyone tried or does anyone use the Vortex from Smoke Daddy and if so, how well does it work...
I place mine in the same exact place as you and at the same height on a open wire rack so it can get air all the way around. Todd says the 2.0 and 2.5 smokers don't have good air flow. Since my problems are more severe on ribs with 4 slabs being on one shelf in a rob rack, I keep wondering if...
I have the same MES BT 2.5 that Bear does and I have problems, so I don't know why he supposedly doesn't and I do.
That is why I am questioning if the 4 slabs of ribs in a rib rack on one shelf might be chocking off the upward draft. Even though I have had problems off and on with other...
lol ... hey tjones, you are correct on one thing and that is... I am a Sooner Fan ...
For whatever reason, I was a Sooner fan before I ever moved from KS to TX and then to OK in 1969
I don't want to go to the mailbox thing unless forced to. I am going to try the Tube next time per Todd...
Model No is 20070215 and a 40" with legs bought at Sams June 2015. Exhaust is out of the top on left hand side-back corner. Pan is oval and straight across and not slanted with 5 x 6 pan like the Gen 2.0 models had. (I had the 2.0 and gave it away when I bought the new BT)
If the new...
Like yours, my Maze sits on a wire stand about 2" off the bottom pan when I place it there.. Yesterday, I was trying to smoke 4 slabs of baby back ribs. They were in a rib rack that holds 4 slabs. I had the rack on the 2nd shelf from the top. It takes up a lot of room regardless of what shelf it...
I did all that you mentioned above. I don't have rails but tried the AMNPS on bottom shelf on left side as well as all other things done as said in my original Topic. because the 40" BT doesn't have rails.
Additional Information...
My Smoker is a 40" MES BT 2.5 purchased in June 2015
I use Todds Pellets. Bought 8 different ones in fact.
It isn't altitude as the altitude here in OKC is 1100-1200 feet.
Kurt, I foil the bottom pan and I do punch a hole in it. I have had trouble like this since last summer when I excitedly first invested in this pellet contraption thing thinking I would no longer have to baby sit the MES adding wood chips and I end up baby sitting it more than wood chips...
