    Pork shoulder vs Pork Butt

    The reason I ask is that my grocery store used to carry Hormel Pork Butts and they were sort of squares cut and meatier looking. They no longer carry Hormel Pork Butts and carry Smithfield Pork Butt Shoulders and the Smithfield ones are different shape than the Hormel ones were plus they have a...

    AMAZN Question

    I think it is a Generation 1 smoker....I can't help you though on your question about the Pellets and the Amazen Pellet smoker as I don't use that type smoker and use a different one instead.

    Cleaning the glass door in a MES 30"

    I've tried almost everything imaginable   and the best thing I have found if you clean your glass after every smoke and with the glass just barely warm is this Simple Green product in the aerosol can. It starts melting  the film on the glass immediately. I then wipe it off with a bounty paper...

    A-Maze-N Dimensions

    There is no round A-Maze-N to the best of my knowledge. If there is, I am not aware of it. Another company has a round product, but A-Maze-N  to my knowledge, doesn't.

    This is a popular seasoning for Tri-Tips in CA. Learned that from one of my Sons that lives in CA. It is what I use on Tri-Tips after my Son told me about it.

    Smoker custom Window install tips ??

    I spray mine with a Simple Green Foam Cleaner bought at Hone Depot. Spray it on while warm as todbnia describes, wait a few seconds and the stuff on glass starts melting away. Wipe off with Bounty Paper Towels.

    Anyone use wood pellets in their MES?

    I don't use the AMNPS, so with your successful use of the AMNPS in your smoker, you know better than I do what works and doesn't work.

    Anyone use wood pellets in their MES?

    Oh .. OK ... I thought that maybe there was a reason. I may be wrong, but I am thinking that I have heard Rick DaRickstra say he puts the lit end to the back but don't quote me on that.

    Anyone use wood pellets in their MES?

    For those of you using the AMNPS, please note in the picture that Bear posted that he has the lit side at the back of Smoker, so if you try it that way, be sure you do likewise as I am sure there is a reason he has it that way. If I were to try it with my AMNPS, I would try it like he has it in...

    Anyone use wood pellets in their MES?

    Looks like I may have awoke the Bear from his nap. I wrote my post as nicely as I could and meant no offense by it, so sorry if it offended you. As for creosote, I get none from my TUBE nor SMOKE RING either one PLUS i like their taste of more smoke vs the AMNPS when I was able to keep it lit of...

    Anyone use wood pellets in their MES?

    The amount of smoke is a personal preference. Some people like thin smoke like Bear mentioned while others like myself, like more than just thin smoke. I believe it has to do with everyone's taste buds. Using myself as an example, on thin smoke,I can hardly taste any smoke and require more...
