Amaz-N-Smoker Pellet Pkg #3

Christmas? I couldn't wait that long!

I do have the dust smoker so I can wait a bit.

My MES Analog Smoker with the AMNPS.  A trip to Home Depot and a $.048 piece of step flashing took care of the potential dripping problem from the meat.

Simple!

I even have some roof flashing.....

I wonder if that step flashing would fit between the rails and the first rack on a MES 40? I like that idea. Right now I just use a foil pan above the AMNPS, but that takes up rack space

My only question is. 

Is it galvanized?

If so is that a good thing?

Maybe at low heat it wouldn't matter.

Good question Al - that was in my mind too.

It's flashing, so I'm sure it's galvanized.  First thing I'll do is cook it at 500F on my gas grill for at least 30min.  I do have some large pieces of stainless steel that are the same thickness left over from my wooden boat build, but I'll use foil if I find out the galvanized is bad.  That polished ss is too expensive to cook.

 

[low-n-slow]

I just did a quick google search and the first thing says not to use galvanized steel for food prep or storage.  The question was about a grill that had a galvanized burner which was deemed to not be food prep or contacting food.  So maybe the shield would be OK but I'll probably remove it anyway.  The link is below:

I am sprinkling pellets on top of my sawdust..... seems to be working great.

I can honestly say that I've never tired this!

Mixing sawdust and pellets does not work very good.

I bet you get some good smoke.....

I bought a brisket today...a 12 pounder!  It will be the first thing I've smoked since I got my AMNPS.  I'll get it all rubbed up tomorrow night and let it sit in the fridge until Sat morning and I'll get it on about 6am...I hope.

 

[low-n-slow]

I'm using my AMNPS for the first time today.  I got a 12lb bisket on at 7am and at 4.5hrs in, this thing is still smoking like crazy.  I removed the water pan which sits in an opening on the bottom rack.  I placed it on a higher rack and placed the AMNPS below it to keep meat juice off.  I also found that adjusting the latch on the smoker so that it was a little looser allowed more air into the smoker and the AMNPS is doing great.

I'm keeping the temp in the 210-215 range for this smoke.  I plan on it being done in about 12hrs total.
