My name is Chris and I have been a smoker for the last 12 years. ( Sounds a lot like a 12 step program ) My first smoker was a Little chief electric smoker that I plum wore out smoking salmon in. After a couple of years using the burner in a tin can never having any consistant results, I decided to upgrade to the bigger tin can the Big Chief. Unfortunately for me my results were no more consistant. (One of the drawbacks of a cold east wind) About the same time a good friend of mine bought a Bradley electric that took his smoking to a whole new level. Being the cheap skate I am though, I could not stomach the idea of being stuck only using Bradley's pucks. So my fish smoking continued to suffer. Then finally in 2011 I purchased what I saw as the solution to all my problems the Masterbuilt electric smokehouse. I now finally had an insulated smoke box and crude digital temperature control. Unfortunately though, I still had to dump chips every 40 minutes or so, and was not getting that beautiful TBS that is until I discovered the AMNPS. Now it's all smoking history. I smoke at least every other weekend now and have made a few modifications to my smoker. I regularly do pulled pork, brisket, turkeys and of course my favorite hot and cold smoked salmon. One of these day's , I might even invest in a charcoal smoker.
