We are going to have a little BBQ with some friends tomorrow so I decided to make a brisket. I also got a AMNPS a few weeks ago and have only used it for cold smoking. I figured id give it a whirl for hot smoking.

Started with a 12.86lb brisket.




Here it is after trimming and a little rub'n



All tucked in and ready for a nice warm night



Here is a close up of where I put the AMNPS. I have Oak and Hickory in there. So far its burning nicely. I made a heat shield out of heavy duty foil. I also put the pellets in the microwave for 90 seconds before putting in the AMNPS. Dont know if I needed to do that or not but I have always done it with the dust to ensure its dry so I just did it with the pellets too.
 
Off to a good start. I still need to master the AMNPS on hot smokes. I think I needed to make a heat shield as well cuz mine was dying out on the hot smokes.

I placed it where I did because its near a intake vent so this should help.
 
Sure wish they sold briskets that looked like that here!  Looking forward to the updates and more Qview.

Got it from Wally world. I was impressed with it. I held it up and it could bend into the shape of a U. The others there had so much fat that they didn't bend at all.


Here it is at 7 this morning. About 10 hours into it.



More to come. I also have 2 racks of ribs to throw on also.
 
Looking good Brian. That ANMPS is a great little tool

Here it is going into foil



It is not taking a nap before the big show.

Ribs just went on. Here they are getting prepped.
 
Looks real good Brian as it always does, bet the friends love it also.
 
Ribs are finishing now and we are about to go and eat. Ill get some finished pictures up later. I hope everyone had a great Labor Day.
 
Here are the finish pictures.was only able to get a few because things were going fast.





Thanks for looking
 
It all looks great and I bet very taste.. I have only used my AMNPS for hot smokes and it has preformed perfect in every way. It was a real rainy windy weekend here and I smoked a 15lb brisket with the pellets and no problems with the burn at all. I have never used a heat sheld. I did do a simple mod to my smoker with a small air pump into the bottom of the smoker to improve my air flow...
