    nothing I do keeps the AMNPS going non stop!

    No its not  a "microwave child mentally".  I don't believe that it should be magic to get this thing to smoke non stop. I shouldn't have to mod the hell out of a smoker to get it to work, This thing or something else. So if I'm not checking it twice an hour I'm not smoking?   Then why bother...

    I just about had it with this thing! I put the pellets in the oven for 4 hours last night at 185°, I know because I had a thermometer with the pellets, with the door cracked open to let any moisture escape.  It will not go longer than one and a half hours before it completely out. It's not lack...

    30 mes analog temp swings, help

    I didn't use any water for the almonds. I will try your suggestions and see if it helps. Should I have to adjust it that much as I did or is the temperature probe that poorly made? Should I look into a PID?
