This may have been done but I haven't seen it.Got my amnps today and it was pouring rain so I got to thinking(this in itself can be rather dangerous.)

1 can of beets

1 roll of heat resistant tape

1 bolt and nut

1 ball point click pen

1 dremel

The cutout on the part that slides in is needed on my model dont know about all. It has a flange that prevents you from removing chip loader upside down.I'll let the pics do the explaining.Thought this would be better than just pulling out the chiploader when using the amnps.Tell me what you think.

Riverrat Thanks for the damper design and sharing.  After a few cooks I have found it works well and I don't have my chip loader tube hanging out of the smoker. 

Here is a couple shots of mine
