Thanks, Bear I appreciate that.Looks Great, Dan!!
Nice Job!
Like.
The thing that usually causes the burning pellets to jump a row in the AMNPS is if it's filled too full. The fuller it is, the closer the top pellets get from row to row.
I try to fill mine to about 3/8" from the top.

Yeah, thanks, I think that's going to be the right approach for us. Since my wife does like some smoke flavor, I think in the future I'll split the rack, and move hers to the oven, wrapped, at about 2 hours like you suggest. Then I can finish the rest of the rack for my son and I in the smoker. Best of both worlds, then. :)When you do your ribs I would just smoke for the first 2 hours if your looking for light smoke flavor. butts can take a lot of smoke since it only penetrates so deep and there's a lot of meat that wont have smoke in it which mellows out the smokey flavor. Just a thought
Thanks, Bear I appreciate that.
The taste test will be later today, but based on my sampling I think she's going to be happy with this level of smoke.
yeah regarding the tray, I did overfill it. When I was looking at it when I took it out I realized I'd been a little too generous.
Man I'm glad I took your and other's advice to get the AMNPS. Now I've used it once, it feels to me like it's a must-have.
Let me also suggest you get your pellets at A-MAZ-N products as well... they are all 100% flavored wood (ie. apple is all apple.. pecan is all pecan and so on)... Not like the cooking/heating pellets which are a mixture of woods... His Pitmaster Blend is excellent .. If you keep an eye out he has sales with free shipping every once in a while... that's when I stock up on different flavors...
