Ok picking up the landman smoky mountain at Costco. My bday comming up this month and was looking to add more smoke with a smoke generator from amazn web site. Help me pick the right one! Is it the tube? What size? Or should I get the box one? What kind of pellets should I buy? Pretty good size smoker with 4 racks.

I'm new and it will be a gift for me :) so what's the best choice.

You ought to contact Todd...a really great guy, and since he's a member here (TJohnson), he's always willing to provide expert advice about his gadgets to fellow SMF members.  I'd say in a gas rig, one of the tubes is the right match...but again, I'd ask the guy who invented 'em.  

As far as pellets flavors, I always keep a bag of his hickory and a bag of the pitmaster's choice - a blend of hickory/cherry/maple...but they're all good!  Best advice is try several flavors to see for yourself what you like best.

I HIGHLY recommend you talk to Todd. That smoker does not look like there is a good Fresh Air source, maybe I am wrong. The AMNPS needs air to stay lit...JJ

I have an electric smoker and in speaking with Todd, he recommended the pellet tray in electric smokers and gas smokers, too.  The tubes were more for webers and other gas grills.  This may have changed since last Nov. when I bought mine.

As for the types of pellets.  My favorite so far is the pecan.  Pit master blend is pretty good, too.  I used the bourbon barrels ones last week end on a tri tip and the were there were good/ok but maybe needed more smoke time to pick up the flavor.  I also used maple on a meat loaf and the bag of pellets had a lot of saw dust(unusable).  Nice mild flavor.

I have used a cheaper brand from Sportsman Warehouse in Rocklin, Ca.  They were a alder base with cherry(mostly alder) on salmon.  

Good luck...
