<![CDATA[A-MAZE-N 12 in. Smoker Tube]]>I have been using the A-MAZE-N 12 in. Smoker Tube for about 2 years in three different smokers I have and have found that using it with wood pellets is a much easier and better way than traditional wood chips for smoking. Take a look at it and give it a try.

Thanks for the input. I too tend to tinker a little and have added an extra rack holder on the inside and a shelf on the outside of the unit to hold external temp. gauges. Have never done any cold smoking yet but with all the info from this community will give that a go someday. Thanks again for your thoughts.šŸ‘ :clinking_beer_mugs:

I saw that. Kinda takes even more modifications to get colder temps from a Propane unit. And from what Iā€™ve seen, there is no readily available hole in yours like the electrics have.
So the easy way, as you know, is the tube or tray type Amazen. Modifying depends a lot on how much tinkering you are willing to fiddle with. Iā€™m the tinker behind the tinkers damn. So I tinker a lot. šŸ˜„ šŸ˜µ :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:
So I wish now that I would have gotten the most basic, insulated, non-digital smoker box and modified it to what I have now.
So it comes down to what a feller wants in his smoker box.
Many enjoy very minimal tinkering, I can get that. But for me, I just had to separate the ā€œas builtā€ smoke maker, from the smoker/oven heat source. That gave me control over the two aspects of smoking.
Since I do some (a lot) of cold smoking, I had to go to extremes. But, thatā€™s me. Mr. Imagination.
There are lots of in betweens. And not a thing wrong with a simple Pellet Tube laid in the lowers to generate the smoke that flavors what youā€™d like to smoke.
After all, this is supposed to be fun, as well as tasty. :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

Just looked at that link. Looks like that benefits the electric models with side chip tray. Iā€™m currently using an LP version. MB pro temp xl. Hmmm.

Yep, Papa.
I removed all the chip feeder stuff from both of my MESā€™s.
If you ever think you might want to cold smoke things (Bacon, Salmon, Nuts, Spices, Saltā€¦), you might be interested in a Mailbox Mod. I use one exclusively now for all my smoking. Hot or cold.
It gives me control over both the smoke, and the temperature. (I do my cold smoking at ~68-78Ā° F )

Mailbox Mod: https://www.google.com/search?q=mailbox+mod&rlz=1C1CHBH_enUS779US779&oq=Mailbox+Mod&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i60j0l4.6087j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Happy Smoking Papa!

Smoker Tube on Tue, 26 Mar 2019 21:50:44 GMT]]>The verdict is in! The chip tray has been sentenced to life on the shelf collecting dust. This is a great product. Nice even continuous smoke for just shy of 5 hours. That rack of ribs liked it too. Highly recommend this for anyone who is tired of messing around with wood chips.!

LOL. Everything is better with smoke on it. I have two MB smokers. Have had issues with chips catching fire thus raising the internal temperature and way to much smoke. Thought this would help moving the smoke source away from the burner(using LP). Thanks for the suggestions.

To my way of thinking, pellets are cheap enough that I played with them a lot at first.
And now, I still donā€™t mind burning up excess.
Iā€™d encourage you to go ahead and burn some up just to play around, see how things work, And you could even use Hot Dogs as ā€œsacrificial Lambsā€ to see how things taste.
I do that sometimes just to experiment to get a baseline to begin with.
(This is your hot dog plain šŸ˜€ , this is your hot dog on smokeā€¦ :astonished_face: )

Yep, the MBā€™s are a natural for using 3" venting tube and dryer discharge vent hose.
I had the 30" as my first (ever) commercial made smoker. For over 50 years all my smoke boxes were adaptations of re-purposed things. Large electrical equipment boxes, Porcelain interior refrigerators, or modified bar-B-ques.
I wished I had a 40" MB, and one day a guy posted (elsewhere) he had a 40" with a dead control to give away. It was Providential, he lived about 10 miles away. I scored a 40", and put my PID to control it, and use it as my Cold Smoker to doā€¦
Wellā€¦ cold smoked stuff. Bacon, Nuts, anything I donā€™t want to ā€œcookā€ while smoking.
No matter what short-comings there are with MBā€™s controls and electrics, the boxes work fine.
They should market boxes, sans any controls, for folks that want to DIY a smoker with heat and controls that actually can work.
If I knew now, what I didnā€™t know thenā€¦ šŸ˜‰

But for me, using dust definitely gives me the flavor I crave, and the control I require.

Smoker Tube on Sun, 17 Mar 2019 17:58:43 GMT]]>I do most of my smoking (at least at home) on a pellet grill that generally gives me enough smoke, if I need to add more I do have a 12" Amaze-N tube that I can use and I agree that pellets are better than chips for this.

Smoker Tube on Fri, 15 Mar 2019 20:59:42 GMT]]>pauliedmondsjr I have the Masterbuilt 30 inch and 40 inch smoker. I think the cold smoking attachment for that is a good option too, and they can be hooked up to anything with a dryer hose.

But I got the Tray, because it was more versatile. Does Pellets, but also does dust, which I have become a convert to.
Dust (dissolved Pellets) burn slower, and give me the smokey flavor I prefer.
I donā€™t know if a tube can burn dust well, But the tray runs about 6 hours for me on a full load of dust, and gives me the taste I like. (Currently, Apple-wood for most.)
I imagine it does depend on what you are using as a smoker. I use electrics myself.
