    Its not in the manual, but I have mixed in 'some' pellets in with the chips without any issues.  First I put in some chips, then mix some pellets with the chips, about 90% chips 10% pellets (so far).

    Masterbuilt is their own worst promoter of their Cold Smoker Box. No worries, here's a couple other links to check out.  The Amazon site has 30+ reviews. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Masterbuilt-Electric-Cold-Smoker-Box-20070112/203868163 http://www.masterbuilt.com/cold-smoker.html

    From the day I seasoned my new MES I noticed a pungent oder in the smoke, nowhere near the smooth deep smokey aroma of my stick burner. So taking advice from here, I tried wet, dry, used a little, used a lot, thick chips and fine chips. Nothing improved on the flavor. ( Frustrated, I...

    pfeaz, Check out the included links? This MES add-on works great and the smoke flavor is many times better than the internal tray.  The cold smoker add-on creates more smoke and does not burn out, thus my amnps is now my backup unit...

    Masterbuilt sells a side box. It should be included (my opinion) it makes all your smoke issues go away.

    Chuck is dead on with his advice. Also, I have learned to torch light up the pellets a bit more than you believe is adequate and let them burn for a few minutes before extinguishing the flame.  Open the MES lower chip feeder to allow air input during the smoke, open the top vent 100% for air...

    Good deal or not?

    I suggest factoring the cost of an A-MAZE-N-PELLET-SMOKER with any MES.  The smoke from my MES has always been a little bitter.  After trying all variations of chips, wet and dry, I took the advice of folks here and bought a pellet smoker.  My MES works just fine now.
