Up to today, I have never used it to date because of some health problems and and then the weather being too hot for me to get out into it ...... Today was a nice day and I used the Smoke Ring...

    New Smoker Attachment for Mes Smokers

    BASS PRO Shops has an attachment for MES Smokers similar to a mail box that will provide 6 hrs of smoke on the MES Smokers.  My Son in CA is there right now looking at one. He sent me a picture of it, but I don't know how to get it off my phone and onto this site. I* believe it is built by...

    Made My Maze Useful

    As some of you know, I have complained since day one that my Maze with Todds Pellets won't stay lit part of the time and doesn't put out enough smoke when it accidentally stays lit, no matter what adjustments I make. I have tried everything short of installing the "Mailbox Setup". In order to...

    Pellet Smokers

    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 give up on these pellets smoking and ready to go back to wood chips, even as bad as I hate adding chips every 15 - 20 minutes.Today was the umpteenth time that I couldn't keep my AMNPS lit. I would lite it initially ... let it burn 30 minute plus ... blow on it like Bear says until I get a red...

    Fast Smoked Brisket ????

    I talked to a person today that said he smoked a 17 lb Brisket this week end in 5 hrs. He said at 5 hrs it and an internal temperature of 195 degrees. He said it reached that temperature without ever stalling. He said Smoker temp was 250 degrees. At 5 hrs he took it out because it registered 195...

    Another Pellet Post

       I did 2 small Tri-Tips Sunday. I don't mean to brag, but seriously, they were the best 2 I have ever done by far. The Pappy's Rub was perfect and the amount of smoke was really perfect. Even my wife said so and she doesn't like Mesquite smoke too well, but she loved it this time. The rub...

    Boston Butt Danger Zone

    Ok, I admit I am one of the dumbest tools in the shed if not the dumbest. I have never heard about the "Danger zone" on smoking Pork Butts until today and am completely lost about it. In trying to understand what's been said in some posts today as well as reading Bear's instructions for smoking...

    Nuking The Pellets

    I have posted a few times about the inability of Jack Daniels Pellets not producing as much smoke as other pellets do, regardless if the Maze or Tube is used. We all now know that the JD Pellets are not made directly from the oak barrels wood, but made from the charcoal which is burned from the...

    Testing a Baffle I Made ... Copied It From Another Poster Here

    Since the right side of my 40" BT MES runs hotter than the left side, I experimented today by making a baffle that goes around the sides of the water pan and sits up against the right wall. ( wish I could post a picture, but don't have the right camera to do so ). I used my Maverick ET-33 to...

    Removing the Chip Tray For More Air ....

    The MES have a cover over the chip tray and the chip tray sits over the coil, so the coil gets good protection. My question is ... if a person burning pellets removes the chip tray in attempt to get more air flow from the chip loader hole, will the coil still be protected well with the cover...

    Maverick ET-733 Problem

    I am new with this Maverick ET-733 Wireless Probe. However, I have used it 3 times now with success .... until yesterday that is. I don't remember what steps or procedure I set it for what I wanted the first 3 times I used it. I don't remember if I set it all up before inserting the probes in...
