...Chicken gizzards using Oak in the stock chip tray. Total failure - too much smoke and the Oak tasted terrible.
2nd Smoke: 8# Pork Butt using AMNPS and Traeger Hickory pellets. Started before I went to bed. Made two mistakes - set cook temp to high (275) and the AMNPS went out 1/4 through the...
Also search for mailbox mods...basically connecting a mailbox to your smoker and using an amnps to burn pellets. Should get at least 8 hours of smoke so don't have to open door or mess with chips. I'll post a pic of mine if I can find it.
I also use an Auber pid with mine.

Good job!! I just replied to your last post about putting legs on the AMNPS. I have no experience with the tube at all, but I understand lots of members raise it too.
Glad to see that top vent wide open. Mine is always open--not even sure it will close any more. :emoji_blush:

...for an hour or so and change the water at least once. Once it's smoked you can't do anything about it.
What I referred to earlier about cold smoking...
Using a tube for smoke, and an amnps (not pictured)
We know you will do more! It's a good day for bacon...have 33 lbs smoking now.

I cold smoke bacon in my camp chef smoke vault which is just a vertical propane smoker. Just place the AMNPS right under the water pan. Never gets too hot and its in the chamber. I would try it in the chamber for better smoke and then if the heat seems too much just move it to the fire box.
...much smoke, try filling the tube so when you lay it down, it is filled only half way up. Meaning fill the tube half way vertically, flip it on its side and shake it left to right quickly.
When using the tube or AMNPS tray with pellets, I always mix a little bit of chips in with the...
Slacking off getting outta bed this morning got smoker fired up around 9 put them both in around 10 hickory pellets in my amnps and off we went. Small one finished up an hour ago wrapped it let it rest till now. This one will be burnt ends so I cubed it up added some more rub and sauce a few...
Well, here we are 7 years later and I have to tell ya Bear, much like other newbies (most I hope) back then, it didn't take long to ditch the rancid little chip tray in favor of the A-maze-n 12" pellet tube. My specialty now ... dat butt! Consistently 4 hr+/- smoke - perfect for boston butt...
I'm sorry I didn't more clearly define what I wish to do...
I have a Big Chief smoker. I did a test with the hotplate on high "and" AMNPS inside the BC without the stock element plugged in and hit regular smoking temps when the ambient temp was in the mid-70s. I was curious more than anything...
Good evening Dave,
I picked up some of the Walton's Turkey brine as well as a 13lb butt and would like to make BBB per your dry brine method. What is your recommendation on grams per pound....7..9? 14 days with a flip and quick rub in the two gallon bag? Thanks Burlymanchef
I think I will add a 3" diameter stack opposite the mailbox. Maybe about a foot tall. That should help improve draft and pull air past the AMNPS tray right?
Of course. I oven dry my pellets and bring the tray inside to fill it. No embers. This was just a one-off situation that never happened to me before. Perhaps it just got windy, and more air entered through the vent holes on my mailbox.
Hi all, I'm having some issues. I have an uninsulated analog MES. It has an 1800 watt heating element. I've insulated it with foil/bubble wrap and use an inkbird PID with it.
Before I did the mailbox mod i tried a smoke with the tray in the smoker box. After about 4 hours, i had a flare up and...
...$1.99/lb and I bought my limit of 2. Picked two good ones!
Seasoned with SPOG. Smoked with 12 hours of perfect 100% Mesquite smoke via an AMNPS and 100% Mesquite Lumberjack pellets (now discontinued).
I've experimented a little bit and did these fat side down BUT with much of the trimmed...
