Good morning

I just recieved a Masterbuilt 30 electric smoker, nothing fancy and the price was even better.LOL

my first kook on it was 2 pork loin roast, corn on the cob and a stuffed cabbage. I used apple chips.

my question for all ya'll is, How do I get more smoke? I had the flavor of smoke but no ring. I am used to a charcoal smoker that smoked heavy.. have a good day..

Welcome Ratboy5000!

Using an Electric smoker, (generally) you will normally NOT get a very noticeable smoke ring unless you use a smoke generator. The chip tray simply is not the best feature of the MES products. 

Honestly,  I have never used the chip tray for smoke.

My MES 40 works better with the Amaze-N-Pellet smoker at the bottom of the unit to provide smoke.  I leave the chip tray open about an inch to allow greater air circulation; and the vent wide open.

Sounds like the first smoke was a success, so keep on trying!!!

 Good luck to you!

You could build A UDS! Use the 30 for fish and what not. They are kind of a fun project with yummy results.
