Testing out the new Expanding AMNTS

[dirtsailor2003]

28 degrees out so I decided to test out the new expanding AMNTS from Todd at Amaze N.

First impression is wow those pellets lit fast. I only had to torch for less than 30 seconds to get a good flame. Had embers and smoke in a little over a minute. Geez!

Picked up a block of Colby jack and pepper jack. Going to give them 4-6 hours since it's so cold!

Smoke away!!!

Smoker temp. I expect it will go up some. We'll see, it will be getting dark soon.


Smoke away!!!

You're gonna love it! Just filled mine with some alder pellets (son's request) to smoke some SS sticks we made last night.

Looking forward to hearing how much rise you get.

I almost went with alder, but I'm saving what I have for some salmon I plan to smoke tomorrow.

This batch got Apple.

Use for supplemental smoke during a hot smoke in your new super duper smoker! If it's like the other tubes it will work up to pit temps of 285.

So far the expando tube is doing great! I'd recommend taking advantage of the SMF holiday sale code while you still can.

We're supposed to hit a low of 5 tonight. Yay, not! To make matters worse we have an inversion gong on, so ya that's right Freezing Fog! Yuck!

Here I am complaining about checking the pit when it's 40 degrees! I guess that's a bit balmy compared to where you folks are!

Okay pulled the cheese at the 4 hour mark. The expando tube lost its smoke. It wasn't extended. Seems that the 12"'AMNTS gets a few more hours of burn time. Raced through the pellets. Hmmmmmm. It may need less slits or slots in the tube.

Wow! I filled mine with alder, fully compressed and it's still smoking after 4 hours and still has a couple of inches to go.

Stay warm up there!

 

[dirtsailor2003]

I totally expected there to still be smoldering pellets in the tube when I checked at the 4 hour mark. Nope all gone. I know they didn't ignite and flame up. The iGrill would have told me that. The temp in the smoker peaked at 41 held there for about 30 minutes at the 1 hour mark and then gradually dropped after dark finally ending at 37 at the 4 hour mark.

Wonder if the cold weather made it smoke faster? Guess I won't know until I can test it in warmer weather. Which according to the weatherman won't be until June!

That's really weird!, Case!!

I don't think I ever saw the "Feels like" (32°) at a higher temp than the "Actual" (25°) !!!

Is that what you're calling an "Inversion"??
