Amazen Tube Smoker Epiphany!!!
« Reply #-1 on: September 01, 2013, 10:02:02 PM »
I don't even know how this happened. One of those 3 a.m. moments of clarity when nothing else is going on I suppose.

I wanted a neat way to load my amazen tube. I grabbed the 12" and started playing with different funnels - none of which worked well - unless you were born with a third hand - or a pre-hensile tail ;)....
So - I remembered having a "canning funnel".....


And it fits EXACTLY on the outside of the tube, and snugly enough that you can fill the funnel with one big handful, and fill the tube. Smooth, fast, easy and CHEAP! I think the funnel was 3 or 4 bucks...

Well - I like 2 seconds...The older I get, the more efficient I like to be with my time :D.

I keep my pellets in a screw off lid 6 gal. bucket, and I leave the funnel in there. REAL EASY....
