AMNS'ED SALMON IN THE SMOKIN-IT--WORKED GREAT

[smoke happens]

Nice work Willie! I need to get some more fish to smoke, have not done any since the trout dip for holiday baskets.

FYI - I'm going to start a butt for PP late tonight or very early tomorrow with the AMNPS fully loaded and the Warthog set to 225*, no chunks in the box. Looking for it to be done for dinner tomorrow. This will be my first butt, so lot's of "firsts" will be going on! Guess someone needs to do a prolonged smoke with the AMNPS in the # 3 to see what happens..... Forecast calls for temps to be around 34* overnight and through the morning.

I think I'm going to set the butt on the left side of the smoker middle rack, so that it won't drip onto the pellets while rendering. Hopefully the AMNPS stays lit!

Don't know about the Agave nectar - I've heard it's bad too but I really like the Agave worms in the bottom of my Tequila bottles - they make me feel all warm & fuzzy inside 

I tend to agree... If Agave nectar was bad for you, I would have been dead a long time ago.  As a matter of fact, I recently bought a bottle of Tequila (cant remember the name of it at the moment but it had a skeleton on the label) and it was actually sold with agave nectar to do a "true" margarita.  Actually I just thought of it.. Espolon.  Give it a try sometime, its very good.  When I don't buy Cabo Wabo I buy that... sometimes Cuervo.

That's a great looking piece of fish... and if you ate it and are still here to post, I'd say that the Agave was just fine!   :)

Thx....saw your post about the tube smoker & was looking for Smoke Happens thread on his pellet burner use. I used the AMNS for about 3 hours and it stayed lit with no problems...not sure about a 8-10 hour smoke though. Maybe the dust is easier to keep lit vs the pellets? One of the main reasons behind the #3 for me was being able to do long smokes on sausage, but it did a helluva job on an overnight smoke of a butt.

I'm considering the #3 for sausage and jerky mainly. If I do get one I will certainly try my AMNTS out to see if I can get it to work. They work great in my GOSM, of course it leaks air everywhere
