Most of that I see is from people not knowing WTF they are doing. Too much smoke in a smoker

The primary design flaw that you might want to improvise is separate the cold smoker from the base unit with dryer tubing or the like. Give the smoke a chance to cool before entering the main body.

A lot of issues with consistency will come from fuel variation. I know the manufacturer says to use wood, but why not use pellets of your alternative method? Should basically be the same (no personal experience on that front).

The way it feeds is the main issue I see with it.

Thread I read on people trying pellets with it said it burned really hot and really fast.


I don't care if I use pellets or wood chips, etc. Just looking for something that won't clog and will smoke for 8 or so hour without going out.

There are issues with the amazn pellet smoker too. But the mailbox mod seems to resolve all of them. (Drippings falling.on pellets, element making pellets ignite, too moist in smoker, etc. Id love to find a cheap nice looking box or attachment that would easily mount to the smoker instead of a mailbox if anyone has any ideas.
