Well I had to run to wally world today and I figured I didn't have anything to smoke today, so I thought hey I'll grab some cheese,
the A-Maze-N smoker worked perfectly, I follwed the directions (kinda) lit her up, put my cheese in my MES30, I turned it on just for the temp read out I didn't set it for a temp,so the element never came on, the read out said the inside of the smoker said 44 degrees,
I opened then vent, pulled out the chip loader on the side and left it out, I took out the chip tray I left it out also, and opened the top vent as far as she'd go, the 6x8 AMZN smoker does not fit on the rails to the left side of the smoke box, so I took the very bottom drip pan out of the bottom and slid the AMZN under the rails to the left of the smoker
I closed her up and check her out an hour later, the AMZN was still chuggin along and the temperature inside the smoker went up to 55 that is only 11 degrees more than b4 the AMZN went in!
in the above picture you can see I have a stove pipe in the vent hole, I read that this may help increase air flow through the smoker, half way through I took the pipe off and the AMZN still kept chuggin along, so the verdict is still out for me on that lil trick.
A few hours later I took the cheese out of the Smoker, I filled up only two rows of dust in the AMZN and it was STILL going! only had burned about a row and a half
I didn't see the color n the cheese I was hoping for, but when I took a wiff of the cheese I could tell it has a nice smokey aroma to it
I forgot to take pics of the cheese right out of the smoker, but I remembered to right after I vacuum sealed it
Thanks for looking
Any tips/pointers are welcomed
