Thanx for the reply guys.I immediately replaced the pellets this time with oak/hickory/cherry blend and started to smoke again. I know some people cold smoke belly bacon in hot weather for 24 hours, so I think I'm good.I know it was cured properly but wasn't sure if the smoke was for more...
I had some pork belly cold smoking last night. I used pops' wet cure recipe,and the amazen tray smoker in my MB with no heat. So this morning, I go and check and looks like the tray only burnt thru a single half a row and extinguished. So not smoking for the last 8 hours. It's been hot around...
I have the WW and heavy smoke billowing out when first starting is normal for me as well. As long as the fire wasn't in the housing where the auger screw lives or in the pellet hopper, I wouldn't worry about it.
So after many years of faithful service I think my master built Gen 1 40" is on its way out. I've been thinking about getting a Camp Chef DLX or the new Windwood model. Any one here use either of Todd's pellet burners on these things? If so, where to place them?
Thanx,
Bobby
I have the gen 1 40" and didn't remove the chip loader. Works like a champ. Although, I experimented trying for better air flow when I first got the dust burner.I cut out a big ole hole in the side of the enclosure. This is where the smoke flows when using the mailbox.
As the other guys stated... corroded electric connectors in the rear panel.I had a similar issue last month. My 1st gen 40" wouldn't heat. I Unscrewed the rear access panel and one of the leads was all but gone. I stripped the wire and resoldered to the element. Good as new. Perhaps yours are...
Mailbox mod would take care of this issue.You'll never have to worry about nuking, air flow or drippings onto your AMNPS.
1 mailbox,1 can of peas, 1 vent elbow, some flashing
I have both and the pellet burner is more versatile and you get a heavier smoke as well.You cant mix dust with pellets,the dust will smother the pelets.The pellets are a little more difficult to get going and you need better air flow to keep it goin but nothing major.Definetley worth getting.I...
Yeah, they do.I smoked one by accident.I have a 40" MES and luckily it was only in the chip loader chute so clean up wasnt that bad.But they like anything warm when the cold weather arrives.I think you have nothing to worry about, by now they have already found there winter hideout.
True, newer isn't always better.I was thinking the new controls that are incorporated in the front would be easier to read in the daylight and the vent on the opposite would be a plus as well.
No, the one at Sams is the 2012 year model,the one at Academy(website anyway) is the 2011 year model.If it was me,I would get the latest version.It might be worth becoming a Sams member.Mine is 2 versions old,still works great though,and Amazon has the 2012 version for 353 but was out of stock.
