Alright everybody,
I've run out of threads on this topic to read up on, and I still can't get 'er figured out. This is my first time using the AMNPS. I got the pellets going good with a propane torch (mix of cherry, maple, hickory), let them burn the first 2" or so, and blew them out (it was producing a good amount of smoke). I've tried all of the senarios mentioned, and they are still going out. I have water in my pan, and the tray sitting on the rails (burn side up against the opposite wall).
1) loader out, chip tray out, exhaust wide open (thought it might be drafting back in)
2) loader out, chip tray in (pulled out 1.5 - 2"), exhaust wide open (thought it might be starving)
3) loader in (pulled out 1.5 - 2"), chip tray in (pulled out 1.5 - 2"), exhaust wide open (now i'm confused)
Any help would be greatly appreciated, i've pulled the thing out three times to re-light, and it goes out again within about 10 minutes.
If the water is the issue, i'm really confused, cause i've seen posts where folks ARE putting liquid in their pans.
Thanks!
