    Later MES Gen 2 question

    Cold Smoke Bacon Question

    I'm going to cold smoke some side bacon today in my MES.   First run with a new AMNS.   Question:   Ambient temperature 25-30 degrees.   Should I run the MES at 100 degrees (minimum) or just use the AMNS only with the MES off?   Does the AMNS generate any appreciable heat? Thanks, Brad
