    Help did i just mess up my new MES 40!

    the smoke stopped coming out the back, the bulge is still there and the odd plastic burning chem burn smell is still present.   I submitted some pics of the damage but they are awaiting mod approval.

    Help did i just mess up my new MES 40!

    THe part that sucks is that after my first smoke this thing was working like a champ.  I have read some horror story posts of getting bad units so i don't really want to swap it out, but i don't want it dead in a year either.

    Help did i just mess up my new MES 40!

    I think i will borrow a friend with a van/truck and take it back.  I don't want this to fail later.  It was a good one too, only off by 8 degrees!

    Help did i just mess up my new MES 40!

    So tonight i bought a 12*12 ceramic tile, foiled it, and stuck it on top of the chip loader area.  I noticed smoke was now coming out the back seam slowly and i don't remember that area being so hot on my first smoke.  I also noticed a slightly odd smell and a small bulge on the back area of the...

    Thanks for the reply rabbit. I will be trying the ceramic tile on my second smoke this weekend of two chickens. I did not find the temperature to be off more then 6 degree when no meat was in the smoker, but then again i could be doing it wrong.
