Disappointed with the amount of smoke time in my MES 40" Electric, I added the cold smoke kit and was more disappointed, It burned a lot of chips but I didn't get much more smoke. 4 Years later a DUH moment came upon me! Heat travels up and so does the smoke right out of the chip holder cap into the top compartment and leaks out. Very little ever got in the Oven chamber. Then it dawned on me to vent the chip cap just below the flange by drilling holes and Wala, Tralalaboomdeaaaa! This thing smokes like a drunken Sailor on Steroids. It smokes too much but I'm on the right track. Burns them in 1 hour, 2 if you soak the chips. Just need a sheet metal sliding damper now to control burning and flow and were in. MES said they would call me but didn't so I know there are others out there that just want the cold smoke kit to work. Well here's your answer. Cheers, The Tshirtmeister!
