...wires) use an Auber PID controller and cut out the safety limit switch or swap it with a 352F safety switch.
Rock the A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker (AMNPS) tray that provides smoke via wood pellets.
This route will get you a set and forget, dead on temps, perfect smoke for up to 12 hours with no...
I'm thinking of giving it a go, but have a few questions.
Can I or should I use a uds, or build a vertical fridge setup (nice excuse for another smoker)?
Should I purchase an AMNPS?
How well does sliced bacon keep?
Thanks for all your help everyone.
...to wake up and fool with them hahahah.
I hope that gives you some context for time. Smoke applied for 5-7 hours is good to go. I believe I fill up an AMNPS and burn 2 rows (from each end) at the same time and when it is done it is done.
I burn 60% Hickory and then equal parts Cherry and...
HAKKA makes an electric smoker that is all stainless that I've been looking at. I see reviews about controller issues but the smoker is insulated and has a 1000 watt element that's easy to connect to.
Not sure why but they have 248 deg F as highest temp.
That's the reason people use the tray (or tube)... So they get hours and hours of smoke without babysitting..
Because it comes with it when purchased...
Again.. because it comes standard on the unit...
As @chopsaw says... Put a PID controller on it and use the tray (or tube) and quit...
...raffle ticket! It does a good job, especially grilling steaks. However, I still prefer my MES40 Gen 2 for long smokes like Boston Butt doing pulled pork using a 12" AMNPS tube of pellets for 4 hours of nice wispy smoke. Enjoy that Pit Boss - everything I've heard places it way above Traegers.
...generator port will work. Just know that I've seen a post or 2 where people mention using a voltage controller like @dsk mentions for turning down the voltage on that smoke generator allows for it to smolder better.
I use an AMNPS and mailbox mod so can't speak to the MES smoke generator...
Cleaner to Perfect smoke with mailbox mod and AMNPS tray or tube.
Longer unattended smoke production with mailbox mod and AMNPS tray or tube (1-12 hours of smoke depending item and how many pellets you want so you can adjust this easily).
No need for electricity for mailbox mod and AMNPS tray or...
Just picked it up on Wednesday, hopefully we can try and cleaned up next weekend and fire it up. As of right now looks like they just used wood and charcoal and closed the lid and let cook away. Grandparents had old like bbq pit so we are thinking about building pit back up and run pipe from...
I'm hoping cycling every hour on/off will keep it in check. Otherwise, I'm just going to throw one of those pellet tubes in it and use that. Mailboxes aren't cheap anymore and I got this for a steal so worth a shot.
Actually, that's very cheap... I'm going to Harbor Freight anyways to grab a...
Last year I did butter bath thighs and was very inconsistent. I think part was my trimming and I think some may have just been the size of the chicken itself. But the main problem was just me.
For home and practice I cook quite a bite of boneless skinless breasts and have always been pretty...
...etc. without much modification.
Also I'd be curious if adding something like a Mailbox Mod with something like the A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker (AMNPS) pumping out perfect smoke lol. The AMNPS may not be enough for a giant this size but the idea is what I'm more interested in.
Anyhow, neat...
Hi there and welcome!
Yeah I'm a big fan of doing my own blends. I run an electric smoker and use the A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker (AMNPS) tray that burns wood pellets. I use pellet brands that are 100% of the wood mentioned on the label and then make my own blends. Well I do use a few premade...
LOL, my wife would kill me if I actually got rid of it. But don't think I'm not kinda serious about unloading it. Maybe. Someday.
I have the AMNPS tube and maze. I find the tube works best on my grill and the maze works best in the smoker. I guess I'll live with that for now, but I like the...
Nice Job! I have the original 12" round Amazen tube smoker AMNTS and the 5"x8" Amazen pellet smoker AMNPS. I use the AMNPS mostly in the mailbox mod with my Mes 40 and 30 smoker and is a lighter smoke than the AMNTS. If lighting both ends of the AMNPS some folks just light the middle of the...
