Great, what purpose does the screw actually serve? I plan on doing this pretty much this evening, as I said it was frustrating giving up the limited smoker space of the MES to set the
AMNPS in place, however it sounds like I'll be golden on that for future smokes. Will say the
AMNPS was a great set it and forget it option for an overnight pork shoulder, had a couple buddies in doing the drywall in my basement on Sunday and they definitely appreciated it. Was in a pinch for time and didn't plan ahead so ended up just stopping at Sam's for it instead of my local butcher, but don't regret the choice as it was quite a bit cheaper and of the same quality.
Had a friend recommend the Perfect Mix CookinPellets to use as a great general mix for smoking, however everyone seems to have a lot of love around these forums for Todd as well, so kind of torn here. Only an occasional cooker, once or twice a month, so getting a 20 or 40 pound bag is going to be a long lasting supply.
