Burning dust in the AMNTS

[Murray]

Thanks, guess I see if I can find someone on a buy and sell site, trade for pellets or chips.

Did a small ham using the 6 inch tube and the homemade dust . Really works good . Puts nice color on the ham .
Burned for a little over 5 hours . Fill it a second time . Really like the thin smoke it outs out .

Looks good.

Doing a small whole chicken today as we are having quite the calm before the storm.One 6" tube 3/4 full should do the whole smoke no problem.

Thanks for the comments . The tube with the coarse ground dust puts out nice clean smoke .
Dave got me hooked on the ham , I'm doing about one a month . I buy 2 butts and trim out about a 3 lb hunk from one , trim the fat then make sausage from the rest .

Norm , I'd be interested in the color on the bird using dust .
Our weather just started . Windy and cold , snowing pretty good , maybe I should say hard ,,,

I'll snap a pic after it comes out.

Right now the weather is spectacular here but that's going to change.

Just now seeing this thread... I am testing Dave's coarse dust in the new 12" AMNTS Oval tube and it is working awesome!

I'm so used to the heavy smoke .

And this is why I no longer burn pellets in my smokehouse... lots of white smoke. I now use chunks on my 15" cast iron pan when warm and hot smoking. I get a bed of coals going with the propane and let it roll. I get great TBS in the smokehouse this way. I'm basically cooking with wood, but use the propane to moderate and hold the temp.

I'm jumping into cold smoking and I like the TBS the dust puts out MUCH, MUCH, better than the white smoke from pellets.

Missed this thread first time around....I found out that the dust works well too.

How do you guys light the dust?

 

[chopsaw]

I use a propane torch .

 

[indaswamp]

harbor freight heat gun works as well...and it's only $8 bucks.

 

[solman]

I have both so that's good to know. The heat gun doesn't blow away the coarse dust?

Also, do you pack the dust down or just leave it as-is as you pour the dust into the tube?

 

[chopsaw]

I leave it as it is poured in . Not packed . 6 inch tube burns about 5 hours .

I pack it tight in the 12" and I can get a 9 hour burn....but this is cold smoking...
