    Hardware Question for UDS

    Anyone have a suggestion for removing the larger bung on the cover? I purchase a bung tool...unsuccessful. If I can't get it off I guess I will make some holes to attach some pipes and elbows for exhaust vents.

    QUESTIONS for you MES30/40 users

    I have a MES 40 and use the AMNS. I remove the chip tray and pull out the chip loader various lengths from an inch to almost all the way out. I adjust as I feel the need to control the smoke. The top vent is wide open. No water tray. I have had no problems keeping the AMNS lit.
