I don't think I have it. How are you going to use it with a cover on it?Hmm, that's a good question.
I can't remember if I gave that to Warren, or if I gave it to the other guy who took my Gen #2.5 first. It worked Awesome!

Thanks for the like guys I appreciate it.Haha, I have all Bear's experience because I have his smokers.
Although I still use chips.

It was a magnetic ring with a screen on it .How you going to use it with a cover on it.
Thanks for the info. Do you know why? What's the functional difference? Is there any one tube brand/model that is known to work well?For the most part trays dont work in pellet smokers most of us use the tube in ours. But give it a shot maybe it will work in your.
I had similar problems with the tray in my MB .. Went through all the same steps to get pellets to stay lit. No luck. Then I tried the tube smoker. Couldn't be happier. As someone else mentioned, a full tube will maybe give you a longer burn than you want. So far, I've used Camp Chef Competition and Traeger apple pellets. Good results with both. BTW, I sometimes open the MB chip hopper an inch or so to get a little more airflow.I have a MB, and tried the A-maze-n numerous times. In my experience it stays lit maybe 25% of the time. Tried everything with the chip drawer, tried microwaving the pellets, drying out the pellets in the oven, could never get it reliable enough to count on. Very frustrating. Just bought a camp chef pellet grill. Does the A-maze-n work better in pellet grills?
What pellets (wood and brand) are you using, and are what is your pellet drying/microwaving process like? Also what is your pellet lighting process like?Add me to the list of frustrated users of the A-Maze-N tray. Thing won’t stay lit no matter what I’ve tried so far. Trying fewer pellets now. Maybe too dense if filled to top of the tray? Next step is to drill more holes in bottom of mailbox. Maybe needs more air flow? How can these things work great for some and almost not at all for others? So are they owned by PitBoss now? Couldn’t find their website.
2 rounds of microwave and the 10 min good flame up solved everything for me. Also getting good airflow holes nailed in mailbox mod. Takes a little work to sort out but once u get it sorted it is consistent.I tried the microwave process tonight and it appeared to help. Maybe that’s the key. Also left it flamed up longer (10 min). Had to relight it a couple times within the 10 min.
Good idea. I've seen the u-bolt mod for the tubes, but not this for the trays. Thanks for sharing.Having the tray elevated can also help,this is a photo of what daveomak did to help with air circulation.
You could also use a u-bolt modified tube as I do.You can follow the link in my signature.
