I'm loving my pellet grill and have been experimenting all summer. I purchased an A-MAZE-N tube and did my first smoked cheese. I smoked Pepper Jack, Mozzarella and Old Cheddar. After four weeks in the refrigerator, the results were pleasing enough to try some mods to my grill. Using the resources on this forum I decided to do the mailbox mod. I love haunting home improvement stores for items that I can re-purpose. I started with a collection of duct fittings.
I didn't have any flat stock to make the attach flange, so ended up using diamond plate in keeping with my grill look. This will require some sealing method with the end plate.
The end plug is "holed" to match the toolbox lid.
A 4" to 3" reducer made the attachments easier, by allowing some space to screw the end plugs to the toolbox and pellet grill.
I used the "U bolt mod" to attach a handle to place the A-MAZE-N tube into the toolbox after assurances that it is lit.
And the completed assembly. This took just a couple of hours and I'm currently running a test smoke session to make sure that the fresh air holes are big enough.
There's smoke leaking out of every orifice of the pellet grill. I stuffed some stainless steel scrubbies into the adapter that attaches to the grill.
