Adding Smoke to Current Pig Rotisserie

[jc03]

Hello. I got lucky enough to find a propane fired pit rotisserie. It's all stainless and fully enclosed. How could I add some smoke to the chamber? I have a Masterbuilt cold smoker but don't really want to drill the stainless. I could also add some wood to the top of one of the burners? What do you think? Thanks.

Is there room to mount a rack over one of the burners for a cast iron chip tray? If you can post some pics of your rigs I'm sure you will get some ideas.

The AMNTS is designed to be used with gas smokers... Todd's products are awesome....

It looks like you could do this several ways. 1. simply throw on some wood chunks onto the grates as need. 2. Add a wood chip box. 3. AMNTS pellet tube smoker.
Personally I would lean toward the pellet tube first, followed by straight wood chunks on the grate and chip box last. Now where to put a pellet tube or chip box may take some trial and error so that it -stays out of the dripping grease, stays lit or doesn't burst into flames. Do you have room underneath the burners? This might be the best location for airflow anyway.

Flame consumes smoke... I would place the AMNTS above the burners...

Are there vents on the top of the unit? It looks like a well sealed unit and smoke would go stale if it cannot get out. I know you don't want to cut any holes but an external smoke box might be a good idea. Think mailbox mod only prettier for the stainless.

Yep. It has vents in the back.

Do you think one 12” tube would be enough? It’s a pretty big unit (60”x24”x~32”)

The tube puts out a lot of smoke....try it, you could always get a second one later.

By the way that rotisserie looks really cool! LIKE! Is that custom made or is there a brand or model?

Thanks! I'm not sure. I found it on the facebook marketplace. Apparently the folks I bought it from had purchased a restaurant and were no longer going to do bbq. I got a smoking, literally, deal on it. I can't find any names on it but if it isn't commercially made it had to be done by someone who is a master or working with stainless and metal.

Yup---I agree with Barry & Dave.
And I'm betting one of the Oval Tubes is enough. They put out way too much for my MES 40.
Should fix you right up !!!
