pllets or dust

[smokinberto]

 I have a Masterbuilt 2 door smoker 13X13" grate size. I want the perpetual TBS. But I don't want the lose a lot of cooking space (shoulda got the larger one

 ) For those who have used one of the AmazeN products what works best that isn't gonna take up a grate? Where did you locate it in the smoker? Thanks

Berto, morning....  Many members have installed the AMNPS outside of the smoker....  Mailbox mods with flex aluminum duct...  The smoke needs to enter the smoker above the flame of the burner...   Flame will consume the smoke..    That way, no space is taken up in the smoker and the pellets burn longer and slower....    Dave

I'm in fact preparing to replace my mailbox. Since the duct work is transferring smoke & really not much heat I was thinking dryer exhaust hose would work. Whataya think?

Aluminum dryer hose is what I used....  Worked very well....    Dave

Update I got the the 6X8 AMNS from Todd. Put it in the mailbox with the aluminum dryer duct. I was having problems keeping the dust burning. I saw a mod someone made using a fan on the mailbox just ahead of the duct work. Thought I'd give it a whirl. I took apart an old computer took out the cooling fan & wired it up through a battery charger the fan is 12 volts. Didn't get opportunity to test it til today. I haven't hooked it up to the smoker yet but, I put some dust in the AMNS & turned on the fan. Looks like this will solve my problem. I'm gonna smoke some ribs & a couple chickens this weekend. I'll give a report when I'm done. I can't find the post I saw the fan on, but many thanks to the genius that posted it.
