Glad you got it figured out, Ink.

Wish I could the AMNPS was 'Smokin' ... To bad this wasn't figured out.   I just got my new AMNPS Thursday and tried to smoke a chicken in my MES40 with it.  Same issues as INK.  I can get mine going well outside the smoker it seems on both ends, and then once in the smoker it just dies.  I've tried to open vent all the way, and even pull out fill tube 1/2 way to allow more air in.   Makes me nervous everyone saying these don't work at elevation.  I'm @ 7000' ... 

Ink, how did you finally get yours working?  Seems you might have issues with both this and the tube.

There is not enough oxygen at 7,000' alt..  you have to increase the air supply....  Something like the Mail Box mod...  or something smaller than the MB so you get almost 100% flow through air.....   Your smoker will also have to be warmed up to get a draft going...    Or hook up an aquarium air pump to the MB mod and just force air into your smoker.... 

Then there is the AMNTS Tube Smoker that may work at 7,000'....  you'll have to call Todd Johnson and get his advice.....

Best thing I did was just call Todd @ A-MAZE-N... Hats off to his great attitude and customer support.  Looking forward to trying this again with the tube @ 7000'.
