Hi Sue, from Ohio, have had this smoker for 3 years, went to smoke my 14# brisket today and noticed wasn't getting any smoke. Changed my wood from hickory to mesquite thinking there was something wrong with my wood. Dumb, not the wood. Is this a defective smoker? I've always gotten smoke at 225 degrees but today the wood barely charred. I finished my brisket in the oven, so I hope it has some SMOKE flavor since I have a houseful of guests coming.

Hey Sue, welcome to SMF!  Sorry to hear about the smoker trouble.  Someone with an MES should be along shortly who might have answers.

Nice recovery on the brisket though.

Keep smiling!

Welcome to SMF!

There are all sorts of threads on here about the problem you are having.

Many times it's the connections at the heater.

Post your questions in the electric smoker section & I'm sure one of the MES guys will help you out.

Nice save on the brisket!
