    I have a amnps and was wondering if anyone had mixed both dust and pellets and put in theirs at the same time? Getting to the bottom of my pellet bag so half of it is dust.

    loins and fatties going in with amnps

    I have 3 loins and 2 fatties im doing tomm. I use the amnps for smoke. My question is seing how both of these are relatively short smokes would it make sense to light both ends of the amnps?

    Has anyone preheated their AMNPS with pellets before lighting?

    Never preheated mine before. Sounds like maybe the pellets had a chance to dry out a little more during the first hour of the smoke and thats why they started so fast. Only guessing of course. I nuke my pellets for a min before i start mine and they take right off. Maybe try that to compare

    no smoke ring with amnps in a smoke hollow

    I've only used my amnps a few times but i've noticed that i don't get any smoke ring. Is this normal? I know electric smokers are known for not making smoke rings but i thought the amnps would overcome this. I did use the water pan the first times so i'm not sure if that had anything to do with...

    first time smoker( pork butt )turned out not so great

    As far as i know the temp was 225. I checked the thermapen and my other digital thermometor in boiling water. I wondered about the rub as well causing the bitterness. I have been looking at all kinds of rub mixes and couldn't decide on one so i kinda threw one together last second. Here's what i...

    first time smoker( pork butt )turned out not so great

    packer wont fit in my smoker. What are my options?

    packer wont fit in my smoker. What are my options?

    My racks are only 14 inches wide and all the packers I can find are bigger than that. So that being said do I cut the point from the flat and smoke seperatly? I know this seems to be a big no-no on the site as you lose a lot of moisture. The other thing i would think is cut a little off each end...
