Well actually this isnt a question on the stiks, more toward the smoker, I going to smoke some venison stiks tomarrow and was wondering, I have an electric smoker that I will be using, should I use the water tray when smoking the stiks, wondering about the moisture from the water tray, they say to heat the stiks until they are dry before adding wood to smoke, just wondering if anybody has an answer for me, I'm using a MES smoker, thanks
