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.
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.
I guess I will try it and see, I already purchased the AMNPS, so I will try it and maybe cut a couple of more holes in the front of the file cabinet and see what happens. If it fails, I guess I will be purchasing (or making) a 12" tube smoker.
I am curious if I will have enough air movement for my A-maze-n to work properly. Most of the holes are in the back of the cabinet and drawer since that is where my burner will be. If needed I can drill some more in the front. Here are some pictures of my set up.
Also, I might move...
Thanks Glen. Once I knew what was needed, I only had to go to Home Depot once and than Menards once. HD was out of stock on the 3/8 x 1/8 adapter. But hopefully my burner will come in today so I can get it hooked up this weekend.
Glen,
I went to Menards last night with the safety valve in hand. I looked for the parts you listed, and of course I couldn't find them. I then asked a nice young girl to help me. I showed her your picture and the list you sent and she couldn't find them either. Looking at the safety valve...
