there seems to be a lot of questions about mods for a gasser using the AMNPS for smoke durring a hot smoke. i normally don't use one for a hot smoke in my gasser but that is mostly since the flame eats up all the oxygen and doesn't let the AMNPS do it's killer job like when cold smoking in a gasser.
after seeing pops mail box idea:
and NWDave's SFB mod:
these 2 great ideas got me to thinkin' 'bout the best way is to some how get the AMNPS out side the smoke chamber where there is more oxygen to feed the AMNPS so it can do just as good hot smoking as it does cold smoking in a gasser unit. i am looking for a CHEAP way to do this with as little metal fab as possible so that others like me who don't have mad skills like some here do and still keep it affordable too. i will post my failures as well as what works in an effort to help all who can use it. i am also open to any ideas but don't get bent if i don't use them. i really like dave's solution but it is a bit bulky and i don't have a lot of room and it ain't CHEAP like me. as for POP's solution the same thing since his is mounted from the back of the mail box to the smoker and sometmes i use 2 AMNPS at the same time. remember these mods are for MY smoker and may or may not work on yours......my goal here is to maybe give you some ideas like Pop's and Dave gave me....hell, i still might end up using one of their ides when all is said and done.
well here is the first stage where i was just thinking to get the AMNPS's outside the smoker, my idea was to use 2 L brackets for shelves @ around $1.50 each / 2 per side:
so that part was easy and only cost a little over $5 and can be reversed if it don't work.
