A-MAZE-N Expanding Tube Pellet Smoker preview

[crankybuzzard]

I am new to all of there products. Wondering in a electric smoker how these products work smoking at over 200 degrees.

Works great! The A-MAZE-N tubes or trays are my only source of smoke in my home built electric smokers. For brisket and butt smokes, I run at 225-250 and use the tubes most of the time. I place them below my heat source and have no problems at all. For sausage and other low temp smokes (120-180), I use the trays or tubes at or above the heat source.

Also, to give an idea of how well they work, my big electric vertical is 24"x24"x 70". It's a large space and I get a great smoke flavor and color.

All of the below were smoked with an A-MAZE-N tube.

I am new to all of there products. Wondering in a electric smoker how these products work smoking at over 200 degrees.

The first Amazing Smoker on the market was an "AMNS"---it came in 6 X 6 and 6 X 8, and was designed to burn Sawdust only.

It worked Great up to 200° or 220° Smoker Temp, but had a problem of jumping rows after about 200° to 220°.

So Genius "Todd Johnson" went back to the drawing board & came up with the "AMNPS" with double interior walls. I use it with no problems all the way up to the MAX heat I can get from my MES (275°).  Since that he came up with the Tube Smoker, which works better at High Altitudes & also burns pellets at a high Smoker Temp.

I can run the tube smokers in my gas pit with temps up to 285°. Anything above that and the pellets combust and burn up rather than smolder and smoke.

Cranky,
If you had one of these tube holders, you wouldn't need to become ovalized .....:yahoo:

I cringe every time I think of him grabbing the wrong end. I did that once with high temp gloves on and it burned through the gloves! These things might be cold smokers but they get really hot.

Nice Holder Craig!!!

I just pay the neighbors kid 50c an hour to sit in the bottom of the smoker holding it

I like that idea!  I use muffler clamps on my other tubes and it worked out pretty well.  Did you make that one?

Yeah, but that "holder has a very short time limit!

YOU CRINGE?!?!  Each time I see that picture I think about the slight sizzle and then loud expletives that came forth!  Then having to listen to my wife scold the "safety guy"!

Clamps, geez and here I am still using wadded up tinfoil!!!!

Well, you're recycling and saving money!  Heck, I didn't even think about making a tin foil chock...

Nice job on the welded rack!!! Might be using that idea in the near future. 

Some have applied their skills, well beyond the curriculum needed, to complete their Masters in Mickey Mouse engineering at Disney U. 

Just kidding about the second line...

I'm probably more guilty than most here. 

 

 

[cmayna]

Yup, made a couple of them.  If you catch me in the welding mood, I might end up making a few more.  Heck, while I'm out in the shop watching the smokers,  Mr. Miggy (welder) keeps me entertained.  Stocking stuffer maybe?  LOL

 

[dirtsailor2003]

I was welding today! Not a tube holder!

I'll be up in your neck of the woods, in San Carlos on Dec 12 & 19, with chocolates, for a couple of wineries Xmas parties.

Hint. hint... 

 

[cmayna]

Give me the overall length of your shortest tube smoker.  La Honda vineyards?

 

[sfprankster]

Domenico Winery(industrial Ave just north of Whipple) is hosting the Xmas parties for Flying Suitcase(12th) and Jazz Cellars(19th). 

Looks like I'm going to be ordering a 12" tube for cheese smoking.
