Just tried my first smoke with the
amnps, and followed all the directions...microwave the pellets, let it burn for 10 min, open the loader 2 inches and moved the tray out an inch or two. It kept going out, so I took a hair dryer to it for about 4 min. That was the trick. It's up and smoking great now. [GALLERY="media, 369101"][/GALLERY]

Nuke x, Well you got it going . You may have burned 1/4 of a row by blowing that much air on it. You don't need or want as much smoke as you were generating. The amps is designed to smolder. You want a TBS (thin blue smoke) You don't want white smoke
I have used a hair dryer (today) and 30 to 45 seconds on low produces a nice cherry. Keep your top vent wide open and your loader out 1.5 inches . Experiment learn your smoker.
Here is a great shot of Thin Blue Smoke.
