I have the Masterbuilt 40" Bluetooth electric smoker and wasn't fond of having to load wood chips every 30-45 minutes, so I decided to try the the maze version of the amnps. I can't keep them lit. In a 4 hour period I had to lite them three times.
I've put it on the botton of the smoker on the drip tray. I light them with a kitchen torch and get a real burn going. I do like using the water pan and I typically put beer in it. It's above the amnps.
I am using the Cooking Pellets Perfect Mix. I was surprised to read here that the pellets still have moister in them and I have done a little reading here on the forum. The oven baking seems like a good idea, also the microwaving. There was the suggestion to put them in the smoker an hour before lighting them. I'm not a handyman at all, so the mailbox mod is not an option. It would also take to much space on the patio.
Is using the water pan adding too much humidity and causing the pellets to go out? Should I put the pellets up on one of the grates to improve circulation? I'd appreciate your ideas.
How full do you get your amnps? Almost to the top of the row, halfway up...?
This week, I'm going to smoke a 4lb brisket. Also happy to hear about how to smoke that.
This is my first post on the forum.
