Is this thing worth the money or has anyone tried it?  Other methods besides the amaz n smoker or is that preferred?

    Built one just like it, but it really puts out a LOT of smoke.  Too much for my egg.  Sold it to a local that had a 8’x8’ smokehouse, and he loves it.

    I've come to like the A-MAZE-N smoker quite a lot, but before I got one I built my own from the Naked Whiz's plans here. Used that for several years and liked it, but the A-MAZE-N is much more convenient to use.

    Im going to get the Amazn Smoker for next year... but here in CTX the window to cold smoke is so limited.  Right now I use a #5 Tomato can in the egg with Lump and Chips.

    I clean out the egg and set the can on the base/ no grate.
    Put in PS WOO and use their triangle, to put full circle deflector and on top of that tray of ice
    Then the grate and then I what I first got for Vegetables on my Gasser that the cheese goes on.  It works.  I only do the process when its <40 outside.

    Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting.  The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

    These types put out way to much smoke if you planned to do cheese. If it were bacon, then that's another option.  The small pellet trays are the better choice for cold smoked cheese.

    anything under 100 is considered cold smoke. I do it all year

    In the summer I find my egg starting point is at least 135, maybe i should consider a longer season though.
