    New smoker on the loose

    new to MES: Wood chip tray on MES-where should it be?

    I'm new to the MES. I just Pre-seasoned my MES30 per the directions. The ashes were on the burner coils. Shouldn't they be on the wood chip tray? Did I put in the wood chip tray in the wrong spot? Should it be on top of the burner coils so the chips fall right onto it when I twist the chip loader?
