    Masterbuilt 40

    never tried them via the regular chip tray. i think i read somewhere that masterbuilt does not recommend them. weather they will work or not i have not a clue. i do know they work very well in the A-MAZE-N pellet trays. i have a 5x8 and that is all i use in mine. good luck..

    MES and after market pellets

    ran out of pellets and had to find some locally. found some B&B hickory at wally's and did a test run with them on my 5x8 in a mes30. been giving good smoke for the last 10 hours without interruption. it remains to be seen how well they will do on a boston butt.

    you will love that amps tray. must warn you it has a learning curve, so be patient with it. mine fits perfect with very little wiggle room at the bottom left on top of the two rods that hold up the heating unit. on my first butt i loaded the tray and it lasted right at 11 hours of TBS. Good...
