I hope I am posting this in the right place.
I attached an old ammo can to the side of my smoker to use with my AMNPS. I connected it directly into the smoker without the long hose that is often seen on the mailbox mods. The smoke flows great rising out the vent at the top when there is no heat turned on in the smoker. If I turn on any heat in the smoker, the hot air comes flowing from the smoker into the ammo box and pushes the smoke out through the box. The moment I close the door all the smoke is being pushed out the vent holes in the ammo box.
In case it matters, I have three vent holes in the bottom on the ammo box and three in the door at 3/8 inch each.
This particular smoker has a vent at top. I tried rigging a long stack to see if that made a difference, but it didnt appear to change anything. I am hoping someone might have some suggestions on what to try.
I have tried it with both with and without the chip tray.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
