I have a northern tool burner that I want to hook up a 100lb tank to, is there anything special I need? I currently have a 20lb tank run to it, but I'm going to need a longer hose to reach the 100 lb tank. I'm thinking a 10-12' piece. Do I need a regulator on it? I believe it would have to...

Wow, I am surprised that no one as put up a reply whether good or bad.  I was hoping to get some kind of feedback.  Oh well.

I built a smoker last summer out of a 3 drawer file cabinet, with a propane burner for the heat and using AMAZEN for my smoke.  After about 9 months of using it, I now want to make some changes.  It works good, but it is tough to move items around if the bottom items are cooking quicker than the...

I have some extra racks left over that I might cut down and mount to the front half of the bottom drawer. Thanks for the input dirtsailor2003

Well, I finished off my file cabinet smoker last weekend.  There still might be some fixing, but for the most part I think it is ready to go.  Thanks to everyone that gave me input and help be find the right fittings. Eventually I might paint it, but at this point, I want to start using it...

If you go to this post, it should answer your question, I think the date was 5/20/16.  I can't remember right now (at work).  I also just bought the bayou control valve, and that might eliminate some of the fittings that I already put on the safety valve, just a heads up...

It has a Thermocouple that hooks to the bottom, and when lighting your burner, you hold down the safety valve to allow the gas to pass through, then once the thermocouple is heated up the valve stays open.  If the wind blows out the flame, the thermocouple cools down and the valve closes, and...

I will probably bring my safety valve with me since that is about where it is going to go.  And the safety valve only took about 6-8 trips to multiple stores to complete.  

Is this valve for low pressure or high?  I need a low pressure needle valve and I will order it once I find out.

So, if I bought the tube would I be able to use it in the bottom of the smoker and get 4-6 hours (depending on size) with temps above 200?  What temps is the AMNPS 5x8  good for?

Wade, I have a mr. heater safety valve and thermocouple that will be installed to help in the case of the flame being blown out.  I don't know much about electric items so I wanted it to be as simple as possible.  

Just a heads up, if anyone is in need of some spices, PS Seasonings has free shipping on orders over $25 this weekend.  I just placed my order for some items and thought I would throw it out there.  It is my first order from them, so I am not pushing their site or anything...

Dave - would it help to put something in between the 2?  I have the back part of the lower drawer that I cut out that I could place in  between the AMPNS and the burner. 

I sent him a message yesterday.  I just tried it last night to see what I would get for temperatures and if I would get any smoke.  It seemed like I didn't get much smoke at higher temps like 275, but otherwise, it seemed ok.  I need to clean my smoker up and season it so I can try it for real.

That is an option I will keep in mind.  I'm just starting this whole smoking thing and just trying to get my feet wet before jumping in the deep end...
