Just ordered my Amaze N smoker today. I see some bacon in my future! Anybody use one of these for anything else besides bacon?

    You'll like it. I also use it for cheese and nuts.

    I've smoked cheese and salmon with mine. These things work great. You won't regret your purchase.

    I have done many things including kielbasssa, meat sticks, sausages. I use it when I hant a heavier smoke o the product, then I light up the egg for finishing and the cooking.

    As stated already, these things work as advertised. Very happy with the performance and easy of use.

    I'm thinking of adding something like this but I question if it is one of those accessories that you buy and then it sits there never getting any use?  I like the idea of making my own bacon but is it pretty easy to do and do the results warrant doing it in the first place.  Bacon and salmon would be nice but I don't think I could buy cheese, smoke it, and then let it sit there for a while.  I have a hard enough time not opening my Egg to see how a pork butt is looking.  Any other items besides those above that are good?

    I love making my own bacon and it's super easy. Hard part is slicing because I do it by hand. That being said, I hot smoke on the egg. Been thinking about one of these for cheese.

    Realalize this thing is like half the size of a cigar box so if it sits around it does not take up much space. If you like cold smoke method it's hard to beat. I also make the smoke butter witch is great on the old bagel and lox.

    Once you cure and smoke your own bacon you won't want store bought again. Well worth it and when it comes to slicing the local butcher can help. I paid 20 dollars for about 30 pounds cut and wrapped.

    I like the idea of adding extra smoke to meats while doing a low and slow. I love my egg but don't feel like I get as much smoke as with a traditional smoker.

    Add more or stronger wood like hickory. I've made stuff inedible because of the amount of smoke.
