S2K9K initial review hinted at a problem with this and propane smokers- seemed like he had to make a mod to make it work - is there a problem using it out of the box with propane smokers? was looking to buy one today to avoid having to stoke my smoker with wood at all times of night - THANKS for your help
I hinted at this because I had read in many many threads in this search:I would like to know this as well. I have a propane smoker and would love to "set it and forget it" for smoke!

Eric (forluvofsmoke), NWDave and Todd have done extensive testing with this and if you read Eric's and Dave's threads they explain it very well. In my quest to use the AMNPS the 3 of them gave me some great advice, we exchanged many PM's and I learned a lot. After I made my mods and was sure it was going to work Todd really stepped up with some more great help. Then just my luck, after all the research, building and testing the Tube comes out and it wasn't long after that I started reading how well it was working in propane smokers. I'm still very happy with what I have but if I had the choice to making the mods for the AMNPS or just throw a Tube in and go. I would choose the Tube. So any of you propane users who are on the fence about the Tube I would just go ahead and get one. I don't think you will be sorry!
