So after my first smoke in my new MES 30 I noticed the infamous hot spot on the right side. After research I find this is caused by the element and the exhaust both being on the right of the smoker. My question is....has anyone tried flipping the P shaped element over to reposition the heat to the left side? It looks like it's just bolted in with two screws and would be easy to install "backwards" thusly creating a little crossflow of heat and maybe help with the hot spot? have an AMNPS so no chip tray is needed and I guess all you'd need would be a heat deflector above the element similar to one of DaveO's mods.
Thoughts? I've never changed an element so maybe this can't be done as easy as it looks??
