    Mes 40 will it smoke

    I'm making some sticks in my smoke house and the recipe calls for 4hrs smoke at 125 degrees. Should the smoker produce smoke at that low of a temp or do I need to do something else to get the smoke rolling? It doesn't seem like it is hot enough to produce smoke. Can you help?
