I'd like to get your opinions on using the pellet smoker in conjunction with a big green egg.
I've read a lot on how the amazing device works for cold smokes but, I'd like to use it more for hot smokes.
I love my egg but, getting the perfect ratio of smoke to heat can be challenging. We typically mix hardwood chunks with the charcoal and hope to get the right amount of smoke.
I'm thinking out loud and not sure how this setup would work...
Fill the BGE with charcoal only.
I use a digiq to control heat.
After the fire is going, I put the stone on to make indirect heat.
Would the AMPNS hold up and work correctly if I put it on top of the stone (probably need to raise it an inch or so) then put the drip pan as the next level closer to the meat.
The end goal is to have perfect heat and perfect smoke for 12 ish hours.
Looking forward to everyone's thoughts and experience with a setup like this
Thank you,
Ron
