How is this set-up working for you?
Thanks in advance ! !
I put the smoker together last night and haven't fired it up yet. Based on recommendations here, I ordered a gasket kit and probably won't season the smoker until it has been added. The consensus is the wood chip/chunk set-up from the factory is unsatisfactory, but I will give it a test just to see for myself. The 30" & 40" MES owned in the past seemed to smoke just fine for me.Smokes like a freight train. Full pan will smoke for 5-7hours using large wood chunks. I don't soak them. Have you installed a gasket on your smoker?
I have on mine and it made a world of a difference!. Reduced temp swings. Next mod I'm going to do is seal up the crappy exhuast and install a 6inch smoke stack with a a damper.
If a change is needed, I will most likely give your modification a try as it looked to be the simplest. Sometimes, less is more.
Be sure to add pic's of the smoke stack once you make the modifications to your smoker.
Thanks everybody..
