well I had to get my A-Maze-N out and hold it up to the light. I see what you mean now. The holes in the dividers do not line up with the holes in the bottom, except for one divider. I thought that some rows were burning faster than others and leaving some dust in  some, but I never thought to hold it up to the light and check the alignment of the holes.
 
Todd has definitely contributed.I copy and paste stole them.Thanks Todd

all things considered and i hate to say this the price is what gets me. i can make one cheeper than buying this product. unless you can proove me wrong ? i know people are always looking for stuff thats ready to go but come on !!
 
Not to pick at either of you - but...really guys, what a cheap shot!

We can ALL likely make a product or a knock off of a product cheaper than we can buy it, but that really guts the incentive of someone like TJ to want to produce newer better things  - doesn't it?

If you like the concept, then why not use your own brain power and come up with something original rather than just steal someones idea to save a FEW dollars.....????

Bear in mind - if your complaint is "times are hard"..then perhaps you should not even spend the small sum of money you plan on spending to save even less!!!!

Sermon over - my apologies for any embarrassment, I just hate see this kind of post.

I thought I had commented on this subject months ago... but looks like I was wrong.  We have tested both products to give a side by side comparison and I will order the A-Maze-N smoker all day long over the ProQ.  Not to say that the ProQ doesn't do the job it says it will, its you can do more with the A-Maze-N smoker and the quality is hands down better. 

With the ProQ all you can do is cold smoke.... nothing more.  The quality of the mesh will not last a couple of high heat smokes.  However the A-Maze-N smokers (both the dust and the pellet one) will smoke in what ever temp we want and will last as long as we are smoking. 

After 1 washing of the ProQ it was covered in rust.  I washed, rinsed, and tried the best I could to dry it off and sat it on the counter - next day rust started to appear.  With the A-Maze-N smoker I have left that sit in a sink of water for a couple of days (i forgot it) and dried it off and there was no rust at all. 

Great product Todd!!  I have and will continue to recommend this to all my friends. 

Thanks,
Tanya

If you had this product in your hands, I am confident in saying you would not make that post. I thought about challenging you to make an equal in quality/craftsmanship/material product for less money (I know what the out come would be), but decided that would get drawn out overtime and most likely forgot about.

So to put my money where my mouth is on this product, I will guarantee you will be happy with the product and the price. If you are not happy a month after receiving it, send it to me and I will reimburse you the purchase price plus shipping. I am not related to the seller of the product; just a satisfied, confident customer.

Using with a Char Griller Super Pro I would recommend placing it under a smoking grate on the heat baffle; and if there is food product over it that may drip grease, folding a piece of aluminum foil to tent and prevent the sawdust or pellets from extinguishing.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the the product.
 
Hey brother. If it comes to that let me know - I have someone I need to buy one for and will gladly help you with this
 
 
IMHO, I believe it's good to have venders be apart of these forums providing they play well with each other. They should be posting not only thgeir product but howto use them efficiently and videos of demonstrations smoking different products would be nice. They should not be allowed to discuss the short comings or flaws of other products.They should be focused on feilding questions on their products.  I'm not saying this has happened. I'm syaing it shouldn't happen. Tell us what it is, how it works, all the features. Pass some out if you wish. All this with the permission of the forum owner and moderators blessing. This forum is a diverse crowd and I believe a fair crowd. Honestly if the two do the same thing , are equal in build and cost along with customer support, you may find as Americans folks go with a USA made product. Some will do so anyway. Thats patriotism and you won't ever avoid that. As Todd stated, both can co habitate in this big world. But do it with integrity and don't worry about the other guys success or failures within the forum walls, worry about yours. Better yet, worry about the customers success using your product and service #1!

You will find that folks will gravitate to both. So lets start seeing some smoking with your products. Show us what you have and show us some Qview!

Sorry for the long post...

I am new here and have posted very little, but from what I have been reading, I have to agree with wingman here. Just my 2cents.

I doubt you can build one cheaper than Todd. His is stainless. Have you priced out perforated stainless lately. $$$$. Oh, and labor cost money too. You probably can make one cheaper. I did. And it works great. But the metal was free and I don't charge myself for labor. And it's not stainless. It wasn't that easy to make correctly either and get it to burn right. I have a lifetime of metalworking experience too. If I wasn't so cheap and didn't have the metal laying around anyway I'd easily shell out 30 bucks for one. I do buy his dust however.

I think you will find that another attitude exists here you may not have picked up on yet...."If it ain't broke - WHY try to fix it? "
 
Hello gang. New guy here, first post.

I have been on Jeff's site for a while and have his recipies and enjoy his site very much.

I ordered an AMNPS and it should be in my mailbox when I get home.

Now my question is, I read through all of this after searching for info on it and saw this thread, was the comparison reports ever done?

Or are they in another area of the site?

All this reading and was really looking forward to the head to head

thanks

Todd,

I take it that things have changed?

I received my pellet smoker this week (December 2012) and I was disappointed with the Made In China label on it.

If I woud have known that I wouldn't have purchased it.

If, for any reason, you want to return your gadget, I'm happy to take it back and refund your $$$.

There's more to it than I care to share on an open forum, but be assured that the decision was not made hastily.

I still offer A-MAZE-N Customer Service!!!
