    Help!

    I am using pitmaster's choice pellets from A-Maze-En, and when I used chips, I had a whole array of different flavours, but for some reason, no matter which chips I would use, it would also taste the same. For reference, i used Jack Daniels whiskey barrel chips, mesquite chips, Apple wood chips...

    Help!

    Hey guys, just an update. I've been using the tray for about 2 weeks now, and I'm finding that the meat I smoke using the tray tastes nearly identical to the meat I used to make using the chip loader. This is odd considering that the pellets are no where near the same as the chips I used. Can...

    Help!

    That certainly worked like a charm! I'm getting temps above 200° now! :)

    Help!

    Oh! I was not aware of that. It's safe to run the MES with nothing in the chip tray?

    Hey guys, I'm using the maze right now, and I'm finding that the temperature is not going above 90°. I followed the instructions on the manual, and I have a ton of smoke (though none of it is TBS sadly...) But the temperature is not going up at all

    Thanks for all your answers guys! I'm still waiting (quite impatiently I might add ) for my pellets and tray/tube to arrive . Will experiment with my microwave once I get the chance

    Help!

    Wow! Hadn't thought of that. Are you positive they're microwave safe?

    Help!

    Thanks for this! I will definitely be quite ecstatic if I manage to achieve TBS within my first few times of smoking with the pellet tray. And I'm convinced my meat will definitely start tasting better and having a much better consistency thanks to y'all :)

    Thanks! Will definitely be referencing all of this when I set up my smoker for a meat making marathon tomorrow ;)

    Help!

    Hi bear, I've looked and looked and can't seem to find the link you referenced at the end of this post. If you could help me out, because I'm quite tired and probably just missing it

    Help!

    Guess who just bought themselves a new A-Maze-en pellet tray! Not me. Because I bought myself two of them! Naturally I had immediately gone to amazon to purchase the new tray and nearly ordered it, but a random thought occurred, and i decided to check A-maze-en's website out of curiosity...

    Help!

    Wow! I'm learning more about smoking than I did in my year of working as a pitmaster. So I'm definitely going to opt into getting a pellet tray and if that doesn't work, I can build the mailbox mod (I always knew pursuing an engineering degree would be useful someday ;) ) I do live in new york...

    Help!

    Thanks so much! @browneyesvictim @Jeff Wright I will definitely be switching to a pellet smoking technique. I've also never actually experienced the famed "blue smoke" for myself unfortunately :( . Any recommendations or techniques on how to achieve it? Or just any recommendations or...

    Help!

    Thanks for the tips! So, regarding the damper, I adjust manually depending on the situation. If say, I just flared the flame on the bottom to build up smoke, I'll close the damper somewhat to allow the fire to die down a little, but for all other purposes, I'll keep the damper most of the way...

    Help!

    For reference, this is the smoker I am currently using Masterbuilt 20071117 30" Digital Electric Smoker As you can see, it has a small adjustable airflow valve on the top, and and has a digital thermometer built in for the internal temperature along with automatic temperature control...

    Help!

    Hey guys! First of all, I would like to welcome myself to what appears to be a wonderful forum of enthusiastic smokers :) Now, on to more pressing matters: HELP I have a smoker at home and whenever I try to smoke a brisket or steak without any dry rub, (for dietary reasons or whatnot) the meat...
