I've read a lot of the threads about the MES-30 not burning wood to ash but creating charcoal. This is my problem, especially at low heat like 180 for fish (got a batch of bluefish in right now). My unit is only 2 years old, and does not have the plate between the element and tray. I was wondering what mods, besides an AMNS, might have been done with success? I was thinking of a bigger tray that sits right on the heat element, so there's only 1 layer of wood all in contact with the heat.
I have peach trees, and like to use my own wood rather than chips, I make sticks roughly 1/4" to 3/8" diameter and the right length for the feeder. If I had a bigger tray I could use bigger chunks and save some labor too.
