    Electric smoker build

    It's working pretty good now! I smoked that brisket for 9 hours with the amnps lit for 8 hrs. Why doesn't it have the pink ring? It was my first brisket that was edible! It passed the toothpick test at 205 IT. I've been having hell with keeping the amnps lit without it catching on fire. I...

    Electric smoker build

    I seasoned it for 3 hrs or so. Maybe I need to open my exhaust all the way. That might help bring my temp down and get the smoke through the chamber before it gets stale.(if it can get stale?) At one point during the smoke I opened the door and the smoke started back feeding out of the mailbox...

    Electric smoker build

    Pulled it out at 170 and wrapped in foil with Al's recipe. Smoked for another 40 mins or so until it got to 195. Took about 3 1/2 hours. I know that's to quick but it turned out really well. Not fall off the bone but plenty tender. The temp was a lot harder to control than I thought it was...

    Electric smoker build

    The door gauge is in line with the rack I'm cooking on. I still don't trust it. I think it's cooking at about 260. Way to hot for the ribs. I'm already at 180 with the ribs. In 3 1/2 hours. And the amnps burned through one line in two hours.

    Electric smoker build

    The wood was pit masters choice that came with the amnps. I just took the chicken off at 165. I threw it on a hot grill like some reviews say to do and immediate grease fire. Skin burned a little but all in all it turned out really well. And here's where it caught fire in the grill. To me...

    Electric smoker build

    I'm using the amnps 5x8. The heat is harder to regulate than I originally thought. It got up to 275 and I cranked it down some more. Hopefully this meat turns out good and the wife agrees to the pid lol. It is cooking to fast. IT on the ribs and chicken are already at 145 in 1 1/2 hours. Maybe...

    Electric smoker build

    I'm pretty happy with the two elements right now as is. The temp is getting up to 250 now in about 1 hour and 45 mins. I did nothing different so maybe the meat is helping keep the temps up? I put a rack of spare ribs and a whole chicken on at 5 pm. We shall see how it turns out! I'm not to...
