Best way to start AMAZEN smoke tube

Take those pellets and zap them in a microwave for 1 minute intervals. After the second zap keep a eye on the pellets as they tend to smoke. Nothing major but you need to watch them. This drys them out so lighting them is a no brainer. It does not matter if you bought the best pellets on the market they all have moisture in them making starting hard. I have been using this process for over 6 years now and it works. No more coming out to the smoker and seeing the tubesmoker not smoking :)

Good advice I have been known to fill a tube up and leave it in the Rec Tec during warm up this does help before lighting :thumbup:

I have a MAPP blow torch, how long are hitting it with blow torch to get it started? I think I hit mine too long. Directions say 45 seconds, but I assume that is a regular blow torch. I probably only did about 20 -30 seconds.

As long as you can get the pellets going good. I find it helps to dry the pellets in the micowave or leave the tube with pellets in the cooker for a few mins while it's warming up then light'em
