AMPS pellet/dust Jerky smoke

[Mark R]

I have a smoke underway using the AMPS, with both apple pellets and hickory dust. I intended to use pellets but did not have half enough. So I figured I'd mix um. I spread the pellets out evenly in the AMPS (about half full), then filled the rest with dust. It's lit and we'll see. I'll post some pics in a bit.

Oh I bet they are going to be awesome!

[someAZdude]

Woah man! Those look killer!

[Mark R]

Had/having trouble keeping it lit. Pretty damp out, works better with pellets. I don't think I'll mix them again.

[Mark R]

Mo pics, they wouldn't post last night.


I got these cheap grill grates at Publix ($1.50ea). Makes it easy to load and stack de jerky.




In case you're wondering, when it wouldn't stay lit last night, I pulled the grates and put them on a tray in the frig till this morning still loaded. Another nice thing about the grates.

Great looking jerky you have going there Mark!
Whats your choice of seasonings?
Also curious about your jerky racks, I am not familiar with Publix, is that a chain type store in Florida?
