H-burner

for most horizontal smokers

 Integrated Burner/Grill:

The burner/grill uses the same burner that has powered thousands of vertical smokers for over 10 years without a single failure (it is warranted for 10 years against burnout).  The grill is made of #6 (very heavy) expanded steel for long life.  The grill has a cutout that allows the closed end of the smoke can to rest on the top of the burner, the same successful configuration used in the vertical Afterburner from day one. 

 Variable Fuel Regulator:

The standard fuel system for the Afterburner-H features a variable regulator that is adjustable from 0 to 10psi.  The regulator works with the "old" or "new" type tank fittings.  In tests, the Afterburner-H topped out at 460 degrees in less than 15 minutes.  Now that's hot stuff when you need it!  Fuel consumption is rated at 2# per hour (56,000 BTUs)... that's wide open, which few folks will ever use for very long.  It's also available in natural gas, which tops out at about 325 degrees... hot enough for cold weather cooking... and we also have a "dual fuel" option (run either propane or natural gas).  You simply change the gas jet stem, which takes less than five minutes.  It's only $10.00 extra.

Control:

You control the heat by adjusting the regulator and the exhaust damper.  You set the exhaust to retain as much heat as possible without restricting the burner flame.  (The air intake vent is left open at least 1/2 way, and does not play a role in controlling the temperature.) 

Water Pan:

A water pan can be used with the Afterburner-H.  Use a 9inch cake pan or meatloaf pan (or other).  The water boils and helps maintain a saturated atmosphere to keep food from drying out while being smoke-cooked.  Also,  water vapor is one of the by-products of burning gas, which helps keep food moist.  (Check the water level frequently and avoid running out.)

SMOKEY MOUNTAIN:

The Afterburner-H is shown above in natural gas.  It has four legs installed, and the grill was reduced in size to fit.
