Even with using cooking oil I wouldn't do it. Yuck! Two stroke fumed sawdust, not my favorite.
How do you plan to purge the bar oil completely from your oil reservoir?
I just cut up some apple a few days ago and processed some chunks,about half way through I had the thought-Hmm would this dust burn good in an AMNPS ?Not sure if I understand the question correctly, but if your trying to save the dust I would think you'd be fine with an electric. Just cut over a clean bucket. I have a planer and have been thinking about this also.

Doesn't cost me a thing when I'm cutting wood anyway to make chunks for the smoker or heating the house.Unlike Yankee carpetbaggers, us southern folk reuse/recycle everything we can - long before it was the in,greenie weenie,tree hugging thing to do.:eek::pI use wood removed by workers that repair homes in the area infested by termites.
They tear out the wood and just toss it away.. I use it for sawdust because it crumbles easily by hand when you need a cup or 2. Termites do most of the work and they are clean. :D:D:D:D:D:p
Thanks John,I've been wanting to do some cold and warm smoking.I'll clean the oil tank and give it a try.This will be one part of the equation.the others are order the AMNPS and making one of these:http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/in...le-in-propane-unit.270080/page-3#post-1774252I never tried it, but I would think Chainsaw Dust would work fine in the AMNPS.
And if you get the Bar Oil out first & put cooking oil in, it won't matter if it's electric or gas powered.
The exhaust isn't blowing into the wood chips. If your Chainsaw is a big leaker, that would be different.
As for whatever else would be good:
Miter (Chop) Saw----Excellent.
Radial Saw----Excellent
Table Saw (Crosscutting) ---Great.
Table Saw (Ripping) ---OK.
Planer, Jointer, Shaper (Smaller chips)---OK
Sanders (Spindle, Drum, Wide Belt, Belt, Vibrate)---A little too fine.
Horizontal Boring Machine----Fair.

View attachment 347958 If u want chips like this cut perpendicular to the log or round. I think they would burn better this way to
