Hello From Ragin Cajun Nation!

[smokinhusker]

Can you get the Smokehouse brand in stores or do you have to order online. I get them at a local Sportsman's Warehouse. You could also order pellets from Todd, which I intend to do because he has flavors that Smokehouse doesn't have.   

Do you use an MES or another electric brand? I have an MES 40. No they don't produce much if any smoke at lower temps. But with the Todd's AMNS or AMNPS they work great for those temps or cold smoking. I'm also considering adding a propane smoker for briskets, butts, etc. But I really like my MES for jerky, cured sausage, summer sausage etc. and cold smoking.

call him in the morning.

Thanks!  I called him the next day like you said and got it all worked out.  He is excellent in how he runs his business and his products products are excellent.  I used the AMNPS and his pecan pellets for the first time yesterday on some jerky.

Thanks!  I bought the AMNPS from todd and used it on some venison jerky yesterday with pecan pellets.  it worked great once i got enough air ventilation going in MES.  Which I took the whole chip loader out instead of pulling halfway and loosened the door latch to wear door barely sealed.  I think door was issue more then the chip loader.  May try to leave chip loader in halfway like todd says in his manual.  Although dodn seem to have problem keeping heat or smoke in the MES with the loader completetly out.  He told me the pellets work great for Hot smoking over 225 and the dust or pellets are fine for any temp under 180.  It fits perfect on the bars in my MES 30.

First real hot smoking test tmrw for Dad's day smoking ribs.  Yesterday was something simple to get use to the MES and the AMNPS and any quirks.
