Works very well.
Hey, good morning guys. I am curious about this. What role does it play in a cold smoke? I have the SM025 and a cold baffle. Would I need it??? I have heard it mentioned many times, is it just something that is used to more easily burn the pellets in a lower temp environment? Thats my guess.
Throw the Amazing Smoker into a cold Cookshack smoker. Light one end of the sawdust and smoke away. It gives off plenty of smoke without adding heat.
If you've got the Cookshack cold baffle, and it works well for you, you wouldn't need this.

I just used mine (Amazen-Smoker) for the first time this weekend. I have the cold smoke baffle and normally buy the thick smoked bacon from Sam's and then cold smoke it again.
Using the baffle, I would fire the smoker for about 25 mins and then let it sit for a couple of hours. Bacon came out really nicely smoked.
Using the Amazen-smoke and their hickory dust, the smoke ran for about 8 hours in a cold smoker (outside temp = 28 deg) Then let it sit in the smoker overnight. My feeling is that the bacon didn't have quite the smokey taste it normally would with the baffle...
Good product though... and I need to work with it a bit more. Perhaps the colder environment while smoking doesn't allow as much smoke to be picked up?

I get much more smoke out of the Cookshack than the Amazing Smoker. The AZ is just easy to work with when cold smoking. The Elite is a great environment when using the AZ.
I use the Amazing Smoker in the FEC100 for smoking cheese and it does a great job!
do you all use their sawdust or pellets? their website mentions that previous model only used sawdust and the new one can use either sawdust or pellets.
