    About to try smoking an 8 pound rack of baby backs with my Napoleon gas grill and AMNTS!

    And here’s the second rack, spritzed with water every half hour and sauced with Kozlik’s whiskey mustard sauce: These also came out fantastic although because this was one of those racks that’s twice as thick at one end than the other, it ended up being a bit too fall-off-the-bone for my...

    About to try smoking an 8 pound rack of baby backs with my Napoleon gas grill and AMNTS!

    Well I just finished my first test rack with great results! Here’s my setup: Napoleon P500 running at 250: AMNTS loaded with pure hickory from CookinPellets: I ended up moving the tube down to the same level as the flavour bars to minimize direct heat on to the ribs, next time I’ll put...

    I'll post pics of mine if they turn out worth a damn - all my rub stuff is at the lake and I'm sans car this weekend so I'll likely just do em Texas style with just salt and pepper!

    Holy moly, if mine come out looking half that good I’ll be over the moon! Did you rub, spritz, mop, anything besides the 2-2-1?

    About to try smoking an 8 pound rack of baby backs with my Napoleon gas grill and AMNTS!

    Ha actually more like too WET - that pretty snowfall all getting turned to mush in this drizzle! Hopefully it’ll stop before I fire up the ribs tomorrow. Re the tube I was gonna put the ribs on the top rack of the grill and the tube right between the middle two burners with only the outside 2...

    About to try smoking an 8 pound rack of baby backs with my Napoleon gas grill and AMNTS!

    I thawed a beautiful 8 pound rack of baby backs I got back in the summer to smoke up at the lake this weekend, but now I’m stuck working (from home thankfully) with only my Napoleon gas grill and AMNTS to cook this rack with. I had a similar situation in the summer with a pork butt and I got...

    The history of the AMNPS and why you need one.

    Great post! Can anyone recommend a good brand of 100% hickory pellets that work well in the AMNPS/TS? I've had good success with BBQers Delight but they're not always easy to find here in Toronto!

    UMAi PEPPERONI, MY FIRST TRY!!

    Oh man I thought I was the only one! I have to resort to adding low-grade bacon to all my sausage because that same guy is here in Toronto snapping up all the fatback! :D

    Anyone here ever do a long smoke (pork butt, brisket) using an AMNPS and a gas grill?

    I'll check your tips and yeah that's what I noticed when I do my cold smoking, really clean smoke taste with no harsh campfire or creosote taste that others reports from using the AMNPS on a smoker!

    Anyone here ever do a long smoke (pork butt, brisket) using an AMNPS and a gas grill?

    I recently did a great cold smoke on my grill (turned off) and am interested in trying a pulled pork or brisket on my grill turned down low using the AMNPS for smoke. One thing that concerns me is that a gas grill is extremely well ventilated for O2/propane mixing reasons, which means the smoke...

    Need Loop knot help fast

    I've done this before with my uncle and he just does a regular end knot and supports the whole thing with plastic netting, were we doing it wrong?

    Looking to buy an electric, but doesn't smouldering wood = bad combustion = creosote?

    Ah I actually use an AMNTS on my grill right now for cold smoking with great success! So if burning pellets in an electric gives you TBS, maybe I should be looking at a pellet smoker instead since some of them are almost as easy to use as an electric these days?

    Looking to buy an electric, but doesn't smouldering wood = bad combustion = creosote?

    I'm new to smoking personally but I come from an extended family of stick burners where the cardinal rule is getting clean smoke, that clear or very very slightly blue smoke that indicates the wood is burning hot enough that no creosote is being formed. I've been looking for more of a beginner...

    First time smoking cheese came out PERFECT, just wanted to share my cheap and easy approach!

    Thanks guys, the chips and Goldfish came out really well (my wife says the chips are the best Hickory Sticks she’s ever had) while the pretzels and almonds weren’t smokey enough for me, likely because they’re quite dry compared to the other snacks so next time I’ll brush them down with some oil...

    Making bratwurst with lean ground pork and butter instead of pork butt?

    Oh yeah, browned em up over the hickory fire then simmered in a bath of draft Hofbrau, onions, garlic, homemade kraut and smoked butter - came out fantastic!
