I have heard there's an external smoke generator that fits into the hole where you put the wood chips but cannot for the life of me find anything of the sort online. Anyone aware of what...

    So I have my new MES sitting in the garage and I can't wait to get started and have some time this Sunday.

    Gravel/Sand in tray question

    I have seen a lot of good advice on adding gravel/sand to the tray to help with the thermal mass of the oven.  However I am unclear on one thing (and I'll apologize in advance if this is dumb!)  Does this mean add it and also add water or is there no need for water in that pan?  I ask because I...
