If you took the metal rails that the chip tray slides on out, there might be room for a pan. It is about a 12"x12" area and the pan would sit on the middle element on the bottom.
Here are a couple photos I just took. If you take the water pan out you can see the chip tray above the middle element. It has a cover over it and I would think if you remove the covers you could use chunks.
I was looking at the one with the cabinet, but it was pretty spendy and only at BPS. TSC still has the black or stainless for $299 without a stand. I've used mine twice so far and am really enjoying it.
After my first run of the Smoke Tronix, I am pretty pleased. It held the temp pretty good, and heated up fairly quickly, considering It was 20 degrees here today. The unsoaked chips worked better than wet ones. The wet chips would go out after the element under the chip tray went off, and also...
The brisket turned out good, not my best but it was good. I didn't use any water in the pan. I actually can't remember the last time I used water in any of my smokers.
Fordtech I understand your frustrations, but after owning 2 MES 30's over the years my expectations of the therms are not that high. That's why I have invested in the Thermoworks Smoke and also have a maverick 732 & 733. A smoker at this price point will not have the best of everything.
I put...
Ok so I'm just about 3 hours in. The meat probe is starting to get closer to my Thermoworks probe, only off by 6 degrees now. The smoker temp is starting to be quite a bit different, it is reading 260 and the Thermoworks is about 220. I do have the probe directly in the center just above the...
Loaded up the chip tray with some soaked hickory chips. Pushed the hot smoke button and within 5 minutes I had some nice smoke going. I have noticed that the meat therm on the smoker is reading about 20 degrees higher than my Thermoworks therm and I have them very close together.
Alright so today is the maiden voyage with my new Smoke Tronix. I'm going to smoke a 4lb brisket I had in the freezer. Fired the smoker up while laying in bed this morning, the app is pretty handy when it stays connected. It took about 30 minutes to get up to 225 and it is holding the temp...
The Smoke Tronix finally arrived today. The smoker came pretty well packaged and in one piece. I spent about a half hour or so assembling the unit. My first impression is very positive, the unit seems very well built. I fired it up and started the seasoning process about an hour ago. So far so...
I am patiently waiting for my new Smoke Tronix. It was suppose to be here yesterday, but apparently UPS is swamped. I will be sure to give some input after it is up and running.
Thanks for the great review! Just pulled the trigger on the Smoke Tronix, should be here on Tuesday. Anybody looking to buy a Smoke Tronix, TSC has them on sale for $299 until Sunday I believe.
Sorry I didn't get a finished pic of the chicken. It turned out excellent, no fish taste to it. You can't go wrong with pops brine, so simple, but so good.
