    AMNPS in the Warthog (Smokin-It # 3 Update)

    Ditto on Todd's pellet flavors. I've been lucky as my AMNTS has worked flawlessly in my #2.

    The absolute BEST electric smoker out there?

    The smoking Tex looks to be slightly smaller interior-wise than the Smokin-IT #2 (in width and depth, but height is higher). I think width/depth is more important to fit larger cuts onto the racks (especially briskets). It also looks like you can gete a Model 2 Smokin-IT on their site for $399...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I haven't been diving in years - miss it! I need to seriously get back into shape first before trying again though ...

    I'm not sure how I came up with mine ;)

    Temp control add on

    Hi Mike, There are devices like the auber PIDs (http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=14_28) that will sit power-wise between the smoker and your electric socket. They work by using their own temperature sensors (and leaving the smoker temp on the highest setting) to provide...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I have the same problem with my number 2, but at least when I cut the rack in half, I can put both halves on a single rack.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I concur with both of these. If you can afford it, go big early. I have a #2 that I'll eventually replace with a #3 to better handle larger, full briskets and large racks of ribs.

    AMNPS in the Smokin-It # 3, Hot Smoke

    It's not necessary with the Smokin-IT. I use the tube/pellets since I had originally purchased the tube for use with my propane smoker, and I grew to like the Pitmaster's Blend pellets, so I just continued to use them with my Smokin-IT.

    AMNPS in the Smokin-It # 3, Hot Smoke

    AMNTS is the Amazen Products tube smoker used to burn pellets for smoke. The AMNPS is a tray based pellet smoker, and there's a model for dust (AMNS?)

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    Congrats - I have a number 2 use it at least once a week.  My list of things are two sets of gloves - one for handling the hot meat directly (usually the black, rubbery looking ones) and ovegloves for handling the hot pieces of the smoker (temp probe, shelves) - though any type of kitchen mitt...

    Super confused about the MES 40 - 2011, 2012, new generation, old generation???

    Have you looked at the Smokin-IT smoker? The #3 will probably fit your needs and in my not-so-expert opinion, is probably a better smoker.

    plateau observation with Smokin-It

    Oh yeah. The smoke flavor really comes out after a night in the fridge.

    plateau observation with Smokin-It

    Thanks for the confirmation. I'll just have to log my times to better track cook times with this smoker. Off to reheat some of this weekend's brisket :)

    AMNPS in the Smokin-It # 3, Hot Smoke

    I always put my AMNTS on a rack just above the burner housing, and it burns evenly/thoroughly in the #2. Maybe trying that with the AMNPS might give it more "access" (per se) to the available oxygen in the box?

    plateau observation with Smokin-It

    I've had a #2 for several months now, and use it almost weekly.  I've noticed with it that I have extremely long plateau times that seem out of whack with most expectations and my limited experiences with my propane smoker. For instance, I put a baby brisket (just under 3lbs) in yesterday...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I've continued to use the Amazen Tube/pellets simply because the Pitmaster's Choice is just too awesome to give up!

    AMNPS Mod for SmokinTex and SMOKIN-IT Smokers

    I use a 12 inch Tube with my Smokin-IT #2 with no problem, out of the box.  My brother has a #3 and an 18in Tube, and he has oxygen problems with the single hole. He hasn't yet drilled another hole (or two) to resolve it.

    Who owns a Smokin-it smoker?

    Hi Pastor, I've had no problem with airflow and the tube, with no modifications necessary. My brother has a #3, and the tube doesn't seem to work in his. I've also not noticed any airflow leaks (smoke coming from unexpected spots) - but maybe I'm the exception (or I've just not found a leak...
