    Debating the purchase

    Happy to help.  Let us know how how it goes!

    Debating the purchase

    I also use mine as the primary source of smoke.  The Char-Broil smoker I modified originally came with a very small chip tray in the bottom of the unit.  It didn't produce smoke consistently, and you had to open the main door to refill it - losing all your heat in the process.  With the AMTS in...

    Debating the purchase

    I got both the 12" tube and the maze.  I really like both, but I really prefer the tube.  It puts out more smoke than the maze, and it will burn plenty long enough for most jobs.  When I run the maze, I usually end up lighting both ends, so it smokes more.  I also did the mailbox mod on my...

    need help with mailbox mod .... as in where to get a mailbox?

    I used a painted steel model for mine.  I don't believe the AMPS generates enough heat to release any toxic fumes.  I've used my mailbox mod several times now and I don't see any evidence of the paint even starting to bubble.

    what brand of pellets to get for the AMNPS?

    That's a darn good deal. I want to upgrade to a pellet grill in the near future. I'll have to look into a bulk buy before my usage starts to increase. In the meantime, my little AMTS can't possibly burn enough pellets to justify storing that much.

    what brand of pellets to get for the AMNPS?

    I just looked up the Lumberjack pellets on Amazon. With the sale A-Maze-N has going on, they come in a bit cheaper than the Lumberjack pellets...Just FYI.

    what brand of pellets to get for the AMNPS?

    I was just having this debate in my head, as well.  I was going to order some pellets from A-Maze-N, but then I looked at price vs. the big bags of pellets you can get at the farm store, so I had to do some research.  As mentioned before, the bulk pellets might be 20% flavor wood and the...

    Boneless Boston - Need Advice!

    Unfortunately, I didn't have time to make any finishing sauce this time around.  I ended up having to help do a bunch of the setup stuff.  All I did was put the drippings and 1/2 cup of apple juice in the bottom of the crock pot to warm it up.  I still think it turned out well, and I did get a...

    Boneless Boston - Need Advice!

    8.5 hours, and done!  I think it turned out OK.  Its not overly smoky, but I can make a few changes next time to optimize the smoke flavor.  I'm still pretty new at this game, so the learning curve is fairly steep yet.  I went ahead and pulled the roasts directly into the crock pot.  There...

    Boneless Boston - Need Advice!

    Thanks for the suggestions!  The alarm on my el-cheapo temp monitor went off about 20 minutes ago.  I had it set for 165.  I brought the roasts into the kitchen and wrapped them in foil.  When I did, I double checked the temp with a hand probe, and it read 160.  I think it might be time to...

    Boneless Boston - Need Advice!

    OK, at the moment, I have a couple boneless Boston roasts in my modified Char-Broil electric smoker.  One is a shade over 6 lbs and the other is a shade under 5.  I'd like to get them perfectly cooked for pulled pork sandwiches for a family reunion lunch tomorrow.  Whats the best way to handle...

    60 gallon air tank - looking for suggestions

    OK, so I found a 60 gallon air compressor tank in a junk pile, and I was wondering if it might be a good tank to use for a smoker build.  If so, what would be the best/optimal use for it - vertical or horizontal reverse flow? Its about 20" in diameter and 36" tall - not including the ends.  I...

    Modified Char-Broil Smoker - Looking for Input

    Well, I manged to fumble my way through my first couple cooks with my custom rig.  A couple weekends ago, I did my first "real" cook - a couple of pork loin roasts.  I didn't get a chance to take any pics - I had some hungry family members waiting to be fed.  They turned out very moist and...

    Modified Char-Broil Smoker - Looking for Input

    Update, in case anyone is interested: it really seems to draft well, when the heat is on. I get a nice consistent thin blue smoke that's not too pungent or offensive. I guess since the pellet smoker has to make its own draft when cold smoking, it's a lot more finicky about air flow. The one...
