Simple. Just get an
AMNPS tray. Now you have two ways to smoke anything. Pellets, or Dust.
Pellets - fill rows in the tray. Each row = ~ 4 hours of smoke time. (I get 11 hours from a full tray)
< Note that when shopping.
Saw Dust - Not as hard as you think. The same pellets you can use to make mountains of Saw Dust.
Just put a couple of handfuls in a bucket, coffee container, aluminum pan. Add water slowly and mix around. The pellets will magically begin to dissolve into sawdust. Not too much water, you have to dry the water back out. I use my electric smoker to dehydrate my saw dust from pellets.
(You could also use a
dehydrator to dry the sawdust...)
Why Saw Dust? Good Question! Saw Dust smolders very cool and makes a sweeter deeper penetrating milder taste. (I get ~6 hours from a full tray)
I like the results so much better than pellets, I've become a total convert to Saw Dust Smoking. I do much low temperature, or Cold Smoking. Then I cook whatever I've smoked. Like Bacon, or Salmon. I also smoke salt, cheese, nuts... Even butter can be smoked by cold smoking.
The
AMNPS tray can do
all methods of smoking. Don't confuse it's design with tubes or Brand X trays. The pyramidal trough design keeps the individual row burning, without igniting the sister row. Because it allows an air break between the rows.
It also gives the longest amount of time of TBS smoke production available.
If you order through Home Depot, you can get free shipping. I HATE shipping charges. So I find ways to avoid them.
