I don't know if it's a problem with the AMNPS, because I never tried it, but if you use sawdust in an AMNS at temps above 200°--220° there's a good chance it will jump across rows & burn out in a short time.
I want to use mainly saw dust, i got the 5x8 amnps and plan on just using saw dust
I use a yardsale blender, so who cares. The truth is, the blades are holding up quite well.
I like the idea of blending up pellets when you need some dust, but wow!, doesn't that do a number to your blender's blades? Maybe one needs to have a stash of blades set aside? Agree 100% about using Todds pellets. Top quality.
That would be fine.
I only plan on using it below 200 for bacon, cheese, ect. Ive been getting a good smoke ovver 190
You know I never thought of it, but that makes sense. Higher than warming use pellets, lower than hot use dust. I would really like to try some dust. I can see how it would be usefull in cold smoking applications. Course here we seldom if ever have an outside temp. that allows us that luxuary.

That's why I use my AMNS with Dust for under 200° smoker temp, and my AMNPS with pellets for over 200° smoker temp.

Yup---But like I said, I never tried Dust in the AMNPS, so I don't know if there's a problem at higher temps, like there is with the original AMNS.

They all look sorta like a grate. The AMNPS has double interior walls. The AMNS has single walls.
i got the one that looks like a grate sorta. i hope thats the right one for cold smoking at the temps i want
OK---Great !!
Bear, next hot smoke I do I'll fill my AMNPS will some pecan dust and let it go. I'm curious to see it's performance in a hot smoke as well.
