Pulled the trigger
« on: January 05, 2016, 07:12:28 PM »
After bunch of reading, finally pulled the trigger and ordered the model 3D :D, already got the tracking # and will begin Fedex Truck stalking :P can't wait to put this puppy to work. Was smoking in a Primo Oval for the last couple years but wanted a dedicated smoker... and lazy Q sounds really good to me!

From one Kamado cooker to another, you made a very good choice. You're going to LOVE it! Use that Primo for everything else, leave the smoking to the 3D!!

Congrats on the trigger pull ;)

I just love my Primo, reverse searing a big arse rib eye on the thing just made me discover the joy of good steak :P and that's not talking about pizza on the thing (the high temp you can get from those unit is amazing) but for  the low n' slow, a dedicated unit will be awesome... (getting older made me lazier!!!) hopefully the amznps works great in it as  my first smoke will be about 20lbs of assorted cheese...

The A-MAZE-N smokers can be used. But the oxygen starved environment of these smokers can make using them a challenge.

I have had better luck with my tube versions.

I had better luck with pellets. It helps to remove the smoke box to allow more air through the drain hole. Put your smoker in a windy spot and it should work well. I just smoked some cheese a couple of weeks ago and have a bunch more in the fridge ready to smoke.

I haven't tried smoking nuts yet, but that is going to be one of my next projects.
