Just ordered a new Yoder 640 yesterday, and the one knock that I have read on pellet smokers is the lack of smoke flavor, so I was planning on supplementing that smoke with one of the AMazeN products...

Just wondering if there was a benefit to the maze or the tube?  
 
For pellet, charcoal and propane smokers the tube works the best due to the low oxygen environment. It will allow you to place the tube on the cooking grate in the pit. Should work up to pit temps of 285. More than that and the pellets ignite and don't give off smoke.

You can actually get different levels of smoke flavor from pellets. It depends on the type of wood, the type of protein (meat, poultry, fish, or cheese), and the total time the meat is exposed to the smoke. I've had perfectly smoked food, light smoke and over smoked. I've used the Maze for years but then won the 6" Tube last year. I've had problems keeping the pellets smoking in both my Weber charcoal kettle grill and in my MES 30 Gen 1. It's a matter of my finding the spots with optimum oxygen flow. I'm also going to be putting Dust in the Maze for cold smokes and see if the Dust stays lit better than pellets in a cold smoker.
