    trouble with masterbuilt analog

    I have them unit. My first guess is that the pellets are not dry enough and your not getting a good, hot cherrry glowing/smoking before you put the tray back in the unit.  Preheating your smoker to 275* and put the pellets in the tray while preheating your smoker. Go to the amaz'n site and...

    propane vs electric

    I have the large Traeger and a 30" analog Masterbuilt with a amaz'n pellet tray and a PID controller So far, prefer the electric MB w/ tray over the Traeger.  I didn't pay $$$ for the trager so it mostly sits.  It  does have a single, large cooking surface(which the wife and I really don't...

    smoker box question

    I, and like others, have found that the problem is that once your smoker gets to temp, the heating element turns off. This causes a insufficient amount of heat for the chips to stay ignited.  Also, the reason the chips are black, not grey, is because they are not getting enough oxygen for a...

    Time to test this thing out

    I'm struggling to justify having my Traeger when it goes to smoke flavor and the "pellet in a pellet" comment is quite true.  I'm scratching my head as to why it should be this way.  I'm not saying what I've smoked hasn't been good, but just lacking. I will say that when it comes down to "just...

    Getting Frustrated

    I have the same as you and in the beginning, I was having your problems until I added the 3" top vent and a few 1/2" holes under the chip tray area.  I haven't done the mail box mod yet.   But, my salmon has come out great,   I have noticed that since I opened up the holes under the chip...

    Made Bacon. Getting ready to do it again. Anyone have unconventional recipes?

    I have been going to a sausage/meat market for the past 30 years Called Mattern's Deli in Orange, Ca. Two of the things that I just love is: one, their double smoke bacon.  Double smoked just like the name says The other is my favorite, Hungarian style bacon.  It is cured and smoked bacon and...

    masterbilt electric smoker

    The only way mine will smoke is if i have the door cracked about a 1/4" That is why I added a few holes at the bottom.  I use the left over 3" piece of steel that I cut out for the top vent to cover these as needed, which lately has been left uncovered. BTW, I also added a thin gasket around...

    masterbilt electric smoker

    You have the analogue unit(i have one).  I found the existing chip tray a POS.  So is the temp guage and heater dial. The A-MAZE-N pellet tray has made my smoking much better. As for the small exhaust, it is too small and creates a moisture problem and makes the exterior of the meat...

    how to light a A-Maze-N-Pellet-Smoker without a blow torch?

    If you have a compressor, and a blow gun/nozzle, here's what I do, no hyper ventilating and getting dizzy lower the pressure down to 1/2 to 1-2 psi until almost no air comes out of the nozzle.  You can use almost anything to light a few pellets.  Once they have a flame, just barely blow on them...

    MES30 and too much smoke from AMPS

    I have one setup like you mentioned and I drilled a 3" dia hole in the top at the left, back corner. 3" 90 degree elbow turned straight(7-8" high ).  I added a few 1/2" dia. holes underneath the chip tray/pellet tray area. I found that the lack of ventilation(in and out) left too much moisture...
