Hey gang.
Just finished up my 3rd smoke with my new amazn smoker. Had on odd experience my first time i wanted to ask about.
Having read about folks having trouble keeping thier anmps lot i watched a couple of you tube videos and decided to employ the microwave stir microwave then blow torch method. This was using the pellets that came with it amps pit master pellets i believe.
They lit up fine i let them burn for a few then blew them out and they took on nice coals and started producing smoke. Like a champ.
I went out an hour later to check on them and they were out. I assumed they had just gone out and needed re-lit howver, to my suprise they had all burned up.
I had planned to use the initial pellets as the primary source for this smoke so i was in a bit of a bind and ran to the local store and all they had were treager pellets. I reluctantly bought them and returned home.
Loaded the amns relit and put it back in the MES 40. Again had great smoke but this time i was wary. So i checked in 30 minutes rather than an hour. To my suprise it had not progressed more than an inch into the maze.
Fast forward a bit. The treager pellets were able to carry the whole 12 hour brisket smoke and still had the last tray full.
So here is the question. Has anyone else had thier amnps brand pellets burn so fast? I have since read that the Treager pellets are not the woods they claim to be so id like to go back to full flavor pellets.
Any ideas what may have gone wrong? As i said i comepleted another smoke today woth the treager pellets and the results were the same 10-12 hours of tbs.
Second question. I see alot of pellet comparisons and threads on here and am intruiged by the charcoal infused ones anyone have a relaible source for those? Absent any other recomendations i will probably try the amnps pellets again but dont want to end up with another 1 hour smoke.
