Yep. Smoked tons of cheese with my AMNPS and my 22gold. Cheese on the right top grate smoke on the
Charcoal grate on the right.
Bottom vent wide open , top vent over the cheese wide open. This way the smoke drafts right where you want it
Yes many times. You need to keep the AMNPS and the food as far apart as possible to minimise the warming affect of the smoldering pellets. I used to smoke mostly at night when the outside air temperature is cool.Has any used an AMNPS in a Weber kettle?
Yes, place the AMNPS on the charcoal grate above the bottom air vent. and position the top air vent over what you are smoking. When smoking things like nuts or salt then temperature is not a problem however when smoking cheese, butter or fish then you can place it on a wire rack over a tray of ice.Bottom vent wide open , top vent over the cheese wide open.

NO HEAT !!!!!!!! the cheese will melt.... You may have to smoke the cheese first thing in the morning to have cool enough temps... Like Lemans says... Vents wide open....Cold smoke? How about warm smoke?Yep. Smoked tons of cheese with my AMNPS and my 22gold. Cheese on the right top grate smoke on the

The AMNPS doesn't work too well if you have briquettes going in the kettle.... the charcoal burning consumes all the oxygen and the pellets won't burn.....
Dave has given you the honest truth above - the AMNPS does not work well in a situation where oxygen levels are low. I tried to use it a couple of times in my Weber when hot smoking when I first got it but without success. You do not need one though as you can place the pellets directly onto the coals.Sorry. I was asking if you had used it for smoking meats, briskets, chicken etc. in place of charcoal and wood chunks.

When cooking for an extended time on the kettle for, say, pork shoulder or brisket, you will probably be using the minion/snake method to give you those long controllable low temperatures. You just need to distribute the pellets evenly on top of the unburned briquettes and they will continually give off smoke throughout the cook. 1.5 Kg (3.3 pounds) of good quality briquettes will give you up to 8 hours of good cooking temperature in a Weber.

The AMNTS can be used with greater success than the AMNPS in the Weber but I found that it burns away quite quickly.
I hope this helps.
